What's the favourite machine in your collection?

[lebron]

Apex, 1947 Frigidaire and 1947 General Electric

Yes, that is the ultimate trio of machines. And with a Pulsamatic for good measure!

My fav is a tie between the 71 Lady K and 55 Unimatic.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Thanks Rick, you must feel the same way with all of your beautiful machines as well.

Gotta Love those Control Towers. It is a Unimatic correct? I think I read that Control Tower machines where made with both Unimatic and Pulsimatic.

Jackson in that picture I posted above the '57 control-tower washer on the left is a Imperial/Unimatic and the control-tower machine on the right is the Deluxe/Pulsamatic.

Hoover Keymatic

For me it has to be my 1972 Hoover 3243H Keymatic, it is such a stunning machine in the way it operates and of course its styling.

Though i have to say some of the American beauties on here are out of this world, built at a time when manufacturers where confident and actually took some time to make their products interesting and a pleasure to own

My Maytag E2LPS Wringer wins - I think!

It would be a real toss-up between my Maytag E2LPS wringer washer, and my Speed Queen SuperTwin...like choosing between your children!

I think I have a new favourite...

Found this weekend during its maiden wash... the 63 Frigidaire! I'll be posting a thread with video of it later, but WOW does that machine wash incredibly well! The Inglis is going to get jealous...

 

[lesto]

I like my "Chef Norge" but he's going to take abackseat once the 1-18 is ready to roll.

 

[soberleaf]

my favorite dishwasher

"at the moment" is my little g.e. mobile maid portable. but i change my mind frequently on my dishwashers!

favorite washer has to be the 1965 frigidaire custom deluxe i got from matt "everythingold" last spring, probably because it's the only one of my rollermatics that i have up and running at this time!

who knows, it might always be my favorite even after i get the others running. i did even sprinkle it with "holy water" before i used it the first time so it's pretty special!!!!!

 

[hotpoint95622]

hotpoint 95622

Has to be Hotpoint 18680

 

[electron1100]

hotpoint 95622

[chestermikeuk]

Favourite washer..!!

Would be the servis MK2 Twinny, produced 1963, this was our first family washer and washed at least three times a week for 16yrs!!

Rick, love your Kenmore Cyclafabric, the 57 Kenmore was the first US toploader I ever used at Uni`s first wash-in 2001and really fell in love with it!!!

 

[mickeyd]

Hey Rich: favorite international aworger, first; then the ma

that's chestermikeuk on the right. He has the coolest collection of twinnies in the world.

 

[mickeyd]

If I could only have one machine, forced choice, for that is

It would be the Easy Spin

 

[mickeyd]

And if I could have only one automatic, it would be the Unim

Here's a WO-65 doing a suds-return. In Robert's posted manual, you can read about how to do it.

 

[mickeyd]

Here it is with a portable lighted control

which fits nicely atop most machines making them glamorous like all of your machines, Rick. Hey Nate, see, it's almost in the living room.

That keymatic looks amazing, it is so good that between yourself, Mike & Matt examples of these machines remain in operation - serioulsy they may be the last left in the country.

Now, if you can only find a Hotpoint 1600 .....

Not seen one of those ITT cassette players for a long while either .....

[jasonl]

It's in storage right now (life happens) but we all know which one I'm going to pick

 

[jasonl]

2nd fave has to be the 'Tag

A806. All the oil leaked out of the tranny while in storage so I may need help getting her back to life one day.

 

[rickr]

Hi Jason!

Hi Michael! Good to see you posting again! I would LOVE to live with the water right off the rear of your home like that!
I have noticed it in other photos of yours.

I've got a few vintage washers in storage, but I'd have to say this Frigidaire SS74 'fridge is my favorite.
Followed closely by a 1940 Gibson 'fridge I have.

 

[whitekingd]

It's hard, but,

It would either have to be my 1960 Kenmore washer (because it is almost exactly like my grandmother's when I was growing up, or my 1967 Kenmore Wringer Washer (which was virtually unused when I bought it from Salvation Army Thrift Store).

 

[rocky2]

Favorite is

My 1957 Frigidaire Unimatic
