Hi all-
Peeked in on and off for years but never posted....time to change that!
I’ve been looking at stacked washers and dryers...had a top of the line 1987 Electronic Control Maytag stacked unit that was bought new, which my parents kept for years until the control panel finally went...After that the machines went into the cellar, but now I’m helping my Dad remodel the upper level, and they want a stacked unit so they don’t have to run down to the cellar anymore.
Had looked for the old Whirlpool “Thin Twin” machines, but they seem to have been discontinued. Looked secondhand for that or a 80’s Maytag and can’t seem to find anything.
I found an inexpensive Frigidaire that looks like the size of a the “Thin Twin” ...it’s gotta be over 30 years old because the logo looks like it was not soon after they were taken over from GM...so I’m guessing it’s a Westinghouse in disguise possibly?
Wrote to the seller, and he said he’d get back to me tomorrow with dimensions and a model number, but I figured I’d see if anyone here knows much about these, and if they are to be avoided or are decent machines? The price is right for sure, and it’s not far away...
Most everyone I know goes for the front loading ones now, and I cannot stand them. When they introduced those HE3 Kenmore ones at Sears, I let the salesman talk me into them and it was the worst purchase ever.
I’ve attached the photos I have of the Frigidaire...looking forward to your thoughts, and getting to know some of you!
All the best,
-Daniel
