Veg, the sanitize feature was a setting to clean themachine after doing laundry for someone that had an ilness in the house. You set the waetr level at a lower setting, added a cup of bleach and let it finish the rince and spin. All that splashing and such with the concentrated bleach sanitized and cleaned out the machihne.

I know I'm gonna get it for this one! But I can't he
YUCK! I wouldn't throw it away or anything. I just don't like the 70's stuff! ( Just my opinion!) No hate email please!

Yuk? I think not...
Watch what you say about this 1-18---I might be the next owner! ;-) 70's appliances (especially the washers of course) are cool anyway...
Now if it was a rare Frigidaire 24" Agitub machine, Robert should DEFINITELY keep it!

God bless the 1-18's. The last of the really good washers. There's nothing like a Frigidaire. Congrats, Austin.

Hopefully you can get it! And of course I'm happy for you! You know there are a lot of people that don't like pink appliances, but that's OK. That just means that there is more for me! Trust me if I find any 70's W/D they are all yours!

I LOVE the '70's
I like the restful natural colors of the '70's, but I do agree that a lot of things back then were built really cheaply and tended to "ugly out" rather quickly.
And Bethann, for you to make an adverse comment about a REAL Frigidaire washer! I KNOW whats in YOUR laundry room! (but I'm not gonna 'out' you) You should have such a fine washer! (I love to tease Bethann! Just in fun of course!)
Between the old Helical drive Maytags, the belt drive Whirlpools, Filter-flo GEs and the Frigidaire 1-18, the "70"s had some pretty decent washers. Every now and then, when I worked at the independant appl. dealer, some one would come in and ASK for a frigidaire washer. Every one of the people had an old 1-18 at home that still was working. Never had anyone want to repeat a WCI built machine- Hmmmmm.

How fast did the 1-18 machines spin? Did the spin speed go down with the perforated tub models?

Yes Joe, the spin speed did decrease with the perforated-tub models, from 1010 (the Rapidry 1000 speed) to about 660 RPM. If I'm not mistaken 660 was the fastest spin available through the 1970's on full-sized automatic washers.
Early WCI 1-18s are neat in the fact they have a window lid...call me crazy, but if I saw one I'd snap it up. I like the early WCI washer mechanism due to the fact we had one when I was little
I prefer WCI's speckled porcelain tub over plastic.
I've got my eye open for machines around here...but there are a lot of "penny-pinchers" in my area.
I'm still checking the used-appliance stores to see if they have "anything". Next on my list: a 1970's Norge! With any luck at all it will be easier to find than a GM Frigidaire...YAY!
Thanks everyone!
