Wonderful World of Wash & Wear Film

[philcobendixduo]

I discovered this film today on the archive.org website.
The film is from 1958.
At about 17 minutes, the RCA Whirlpool Imperial Mark VIII is introduced.
There are many other GREAT films on this site of washers and dryers (dishwashers, too!)
Enjoy!

Whirlpool!

Great video - you can fast foward to about the 17 minute mark to see the washer work. Real cool video. I think this was the last year they used the push to open lid! I did know someone that had a simular time line whirlpool that just had the time line that lit up and the water temp dial. It was yellow and a real nice washer. It didnt have all these features. They made such nice things back than!
Thanks for posting!

Fun video!

Too bad this washer & dryer design don't exist anymore...

Thank you very much for the links to this & the other two...

-- Dave (And probably a WHIRLPOOL washer Charles Klamkin might have recommended--or SEARS KENMORE with the same features; as noted in his "How To..." book, though years later!)
