Aw, thanks, Rick!
Yes, it's only non-floral-border shirts for this boy!
Austin, yes, I saw a larger-capacity Filter-Flo at a thrift store here in Tucson with Roger and noticed immediately the bigger tub and taller agitator. I'm sure those machines would kick butt, but the control panel wasn't terribly interesting, unlike your very fun and classy-looking Dispensall.
I must say, though, that the GE gets the clothes WAY clean, with that fabulously aggressive ramped Activation. If it's dirty and has to be clean, it goes straight into the GE.
Or, if it's covered in cat hair and needs to be, well, filtered... :-D

My grandmother had a TOL Kelvinator (WCI) dishwasher with push to start controls. The racks were adjustable. It was quiet and cleaned great. When she passed away 13 years ago, it was still working. But my uncle pulled it out and put a BOL Kenmore to update the kitchen before selling the estate.
Re-reading posts from the past is like looking through an old yearbook for those of us who have been around for a decade or more. The names on those posts trigger so many memories. Can't believe I didn't add my 2-cents to a thread about a WCI machine, being a card-carrying member of The Indexing Tub Club!
"Push To Start"
In the Kelvinator Horizontal Dial Tradition, where it's directly on the top of the machine behind the lid, I thought it would operate contrary to convection, where you pull to set...
(Have a 1964 CONSUMERS REPORTS buying guide which I think chronicles this, if not just stating the inconvenient arrangement, opposite of the typical vertical set-up on the back-splash...)
