Todays POD Kelvinator

[retro-man]

Surprised that no one has brought this up today. Todays pod shows a Kelvinator that in fine print states no hot water connection necessary but in the next line it states suds saver to save hot sudsy water. Did they make a top loading machine with a heater in it or was this for another country? Was it an error in their literature? Inquiring mind wants to know.

This is an ad from the Australian market. I wish we'd had more washers with heaters here!

Built-In Electric Water Heaters In Washers Are Nice

But I sure would not want to heat the amount of water a TL washer uses with expensive electricity, unless that was the way I was heating water for the house anyway, in which case it would actually be more efficient and cheaper to heat it directly in the washer.

That's very true, John, it would be an expensive undertaking to heat all the water used in a T/L washer for sure. I was thinking of boosting & maintaining the temps in already hot water, much like the early Bendix combo, etc.

That to ME, is One Pretty Machine!

Well, if only more people had bought KELVINATORS, instead of KENMORES to just to keep the former "Product of American Motors" built-product from being the junky WCI-made underdog brand it had succumbed to!

 

Seems as though "off-brands" like that rarely, if ever made it to the laundry, let alone, if ever used water (dishwashers, included) never lasted very long, let alone really sold!
