what would be your dream vintage washer dryer set

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Mine is a hoover twin tub washer with any mix or match 120 volt dryer that matched them they don't have to match each other however I prefer a built in fill spout in the washer not that I would always use it but the spout would be just to have.Also I prefer blue if possible but I can always paint mine blue so color is no real issue.
 
My dream set

would be the '56 GE FilterFlo washer and matched dryer in.... wait for it.... Turquoise!

 

Bet ya didn't see that coming.  LOL

 

 Gary,  is that the gas dryer that Jeff and I messed around with back in 2009??  If so, I'd have to say no because we don't have a gas line in either house  ...  sigh.... 
 
Either

of the Inglis sets are great also, with a butler and a housekeeper of course.
Also the KWC faucet on the gold sets laundry sink. "I don't think it's a Kohler Coralais." Nice for shampooing a dog, etc.
 
Mine would be any of a few:

Avocado Maytags with center dial and lighted console

Kenmore electronic set in black or white with lighted consoles

GE Filter-Flo set with the white and chrome consoles
 
Kevinator washer & matching gas dryer of about 1958 vintage with the "do all" dial that reminds me much of the Norge time line models in pale yellow of course!
 
Dream Vintage Washer and Dryer

Mine dream vintage set would have to be either a mid 1960's Lady Kenmore with the roto swirl agitator and the matching dryer.
Or:
a TOL Easy washer and dryer.

Mom had the Lady Kenmore and it was not only the best washer, but it lasted for years.
Aunt Ida had the Easy.
Both were incredible machines. Too bad nothing of that quality is manufactured anymore.
