Vintage Appliance Advertisements: Part Twenty-seven

Washer/Dryer Combo Demise

I think I just realized what killed the combo machines. They are not twice as fast as the ads would claim, but probably twice as slow. With separate machines, you can have a second load of laundry washing while the first is drying, which for obvious reasons you cant do with a combo machine. I imagine when consumers realized this after buying these machines that the end was soon in coming.

Money Buys Happiness Nov. 18, 1970

For a quarter million $$$ you'd think RCA could have made the (4) 9" "television receivers" in color. And no recording capability either. But remember, money buys happiness and this store has a view of the future.
