Tribute to the BOL

[rustyspaatz]

Electrolux LE no parts

made around 1985

This canister was as low as you could go with Electrolux.

There was no automatic control, that ubiquitously, would either shut the machine off or literally open the bag door, when the bag was full.

They couldn't even remove the old bag before fibbing to us about how "Its like new"

And where is the hose, the tools, the floor tool?

$85 complete with major scratches and paint on the wheel.

I have seen the builders model machines in one of the swap shops here-so there is some hope for some of the ones in my area-Some of the apartment homes out here are renovated by the landlord-and fortunately the machines find their way to the Dixon Swap shop in Ayden,NC.You find washers,dryers,sometimes dishwashers,ranges,and fridges.So these can get a second lease on life-folks buy them for their rental places-and even fishing anding hunting camps and clubs buy them.

I'd take the GE gas stove shown in reply #9 for a secondary one down in our basement.  I'd also welcome the one in reply #12.

Reply #15

I don't think that dryer is a Westinghouse, but rather a Norge made product. It looks a lot like the dryer one of my neighbors had that was labeled Magic Chef.

Also, you may think of Hotpoint as BOL, but 50+ years ago, they were GE's fancier line - some of the ranges had fryers and griddles. It was in the late 60's that they began to be marketed as more of a budget line.

The Hotpoint Range in Florida:

Is the Hotpoint version of the GE I am in the process of getting rid of.

$70 is about seventy times what I'd give for one.

 

[toploader55]

I think ...

It's a KDC 18 Portable. So would that be a 55 ?

CircleW-
"...is a Westinghouse, but rather a Norge made product. It looks a lot like the dryer one of my neighbors had that was labeled Magic Chef."

I think you are right on all accounts. The same base with a different control panel and different name plate.

"Also, you may think of Hotpoint as BOL, but 50+ years ago, they were GE's fancier line "

Isn't it annoying when one appliance line changes its position on the hierarchy tier? Remember when Electrolux was like tops in Vacuums?

Maybe it's a reflection of human nature.

kitchen aid Bol

good eye Xpanam guy,
I have never seen a two button KA. Three button yes, but not a buck-tooth KA.

At the time this was made (estimate 1982) the other models would have had a gold, or gold trimmed control panel. Here this one is with a pale brown, which frankly matches the Coffee color panels nicely.

poor thing only has ONE light. ohh. My first mid 70s KA Superba had 4 or 5 lights.

GE DW 6 years old but

... "only used 3 years" ?

Its part of a group of 4 white GE appliances that, along with the cheap kitchen cabinets, looks like a BUILDERS PACKAGE. (Thank-you Tolivac)

Where did 3 years of use go? Is that the time this model home sat vacant during the credit crisis? Was this a foreclosure?

And now, you can buy the whole group for $700. hmmm.

Kenmore 1979 Steam cleaner Shag carpet to clean ?

Oh My !

This was the BOL steam cleaner that Sears offered to clean the mounting piles of shag carpeting that was smothering our country in 1979.
It had the least powerful vacuum motor and did not have the water tank to pour

water into (which also would have had a pump to pump the water to the nozzle, and possibly a heater to heat the water) instead one simply received a 50' roll of tubing to connect to your sink.

You also got cheap plastic wands and the smaller, thinner floor tool.

Starting bid is $7 Illinois.

With an upholstery tool, these make great for cleaning car upholstery and carpet.
