This should be fun! What is your favorite washer/dryer? I'll start: The 1955-1959 GE Combo washer/dryer in turquoise! (My favorite washer/dryer used to be the 1950-1955 Westinghouse Laundromat/Clothes Dryer.)

Simpson dryers made by Simpson.
If it has to be a Combination Washer/Dryer
The 33" wide Lady Kenmore Combos
As far as a side-by-side, I have too many I cannot narrow them down to less than 5-10 sets.

That's easy for me
My grandparent's Kenmore 90 Series top load washer along with the matching electric dryer that they used to have. I am now a proud new owner of the washer since my grandfather just recently passed.

Each and every laundry appliance, dishwasher, range and small kitchen appliance that I wanted and dreamed about getting and finally the dream came true.

Ancient Filter-Flo
My favorite washer would be the any of the 1957-1959 GE Filter-Flo machines. I like the copper-patina filter pan with the pink or seafoam green agitator cap that matches the Flo flume.
My Mom had a 1960 model, which I fondly remember, but it had "only" a plastic filter pan. After eight years of service, she gave it to my Grandmother, who used it for another twenty years, until she died.

After all the blood, sweat and tears that I put into my 1956 GE Combo, I have to admit it's probably THE machine that if I could only have one, I'd pick over the others in my modest collection.
And Paul, there ain't nuttin' modest about your collection!!!

My Blackstone 350 That I Sold
At least 10 years ago, I sold the Blackstone 350 that was used in our family. It was in our kitchen; we lived behind the store (Acme Electronic Co. in Springfield, Mass.). This old AW thread shows that 350, including date stamps inside, showing when my father and I did repair work.
I don't know where this 350 is right now, but this 10-year-old Imperial thread displays it.
This is My Favorite Washing Machine. Obviously.

Fred, there was a 350 at one of the Arizona wash-ins. First Blackstone I'd ever seen.

Paul, when you use your beautiful GE combo, do you put heavier items through a machine that actually extracts water before putting them back in to dry? I did with almost anything I put through my combos, even Brenda Bendix. Now I re-spin most everything in one of the Mieles.

My favorite machine I own
It’s hard for me not to pick all of my machines as my favorites, but If I had to choose just one machine, it would be my 2001 Kenmore Elite Catalyst washer. I’ve had it for less than a year but it’s so versatile, and provides a strong cleaning, no matter what cycle is selected. Plus the Catalyst cleaning action is beautiful in itself!
~ pictures shown are with whirlpool and Kitchenaid dual action agitators. This machine from factory has a Ultimate Care agitator, I just don’t have any pictures of it currently with that agitator~

I’ve posted these before, but…
My favorite machines of all time are the 1966-1980 “new generation” central dial Maytags, specifically the A-108 and DE-406 series 01 from my childhood, although, I have come to appreciate the A-208 and DE-408 a lot more since acquired a set from 1978 not quite a year ago. Here’s a few pictures of them.

I really like my 1960 Easy spindrier. My favorite dryer is my 1980 Maytag.
Don't forget my ABC wringer washers and my 1950 Dexter- twin-Dex.

I wish I had kept my Frigidaire 1-18. It's still my favorite out of all the washers I have owned.
