When you’re schlepping your 2016 TOL Whirlpool FL pair out to the garage because you’d rather have your “new” ‘74 Lady Kenmore set in the laundry room located near the bedroom so the belt noise will help you fall asleep.

When you take a 17 hour 1000 mile road trip to pick up a 1970 Kenmore washer and dryer in shaded copper tone.
When you're doing laundry and your best friend surprises you with a Whirlpool World Washer that was bought on Facebook for $15.
When you spend so much money, blood, sweat and tears to get/repair a vintage appliance.

Is this man a VIP member of AW.ORG
I thought this was a somebody having a joke when I heard about this on the radio last week on BBC radio 5 live last Friday. He seems to echo the thoughts of members of this site. It appears the report may be true. Regards Nigel.

Anything I have to say about the man in the video is best left to the Dirty Laundry forum.
I’ve had a number of different dishwashers since 2000 (KitchenAid; Frigidaire; Maytag; LG; GE; Whirlpool; and all of them did a great job cleaning tough loads while using less water and energy than vintage machines.
Cycle times on new machines are substantially longer, but my beloved 1984 TOL KitchenAid really didn’t clean any better than the newer machines I’ve had.
I use only the 1-hour cycle on my plain Jane 2017 Whirlpool portable and am impressed at how well it does on really grungy pots & pans in softened water with a high-quality detergent.

A Lassie episode I saw long ago. where the famous dog rescues a cat from a "Tide" my friend called, the rush of water, but to my young eyes and mind, there wasn't a single Laundry Detergent in sight!

. . . your midlife crisis is more likely to be labeled Maytag, KitchenAid or Frigidaire than Ford, Chevy or Dodge.
. . . you do a dry run by loading the clean dishes, pots, pans and utensils for the meal you're about to prepare into the dishwasher just to make sure they'll all fit.
If they don't, you change the menu.

You simply appreciate the POWER you have with your dishwasher and realize
you can load the large cooking dishes right after the food is prepped and have them washing while the meal is served.
Then, by the time the meal and dessert is over, they will be clean, you can unload and load the dinner dishes.
Because that's how many people you served and that's how powerful you are with your dishwasher. YES! It's so quiet.

You spot the back of a Kenmore belt drive pair sitting on someone’s scrap trailer sitting a ways off the road but you know what it is and ask them if you can have them and they agree.
Happened yesterday. Lol

You spend over $20,000 building a garage/shed, mainly to house your collection of appliances that most people would consider worthless scrap metal.

when you notice
appliance brands and model years in TV shows and movies then point it out to those watching with you who don't care.

Yes, what do we do with our superfluous appliance based information and memories? The market values continue to plunge daily.
Your new electrician…
Tells you he’s never had a request for 5 220 services in one kitchen and wants to know where you got all the appliances

I used my Classics IV '45' of "Every Day With You, Girl" and "Traces" as a timer while some cookies were baking, while the alarm on the stove buzzed during the "Somewhere" part of the lyrics in latter of which I was determined to finish the single and take the tinearm off of which the cookies luckily didn't burn...
But a neighbor who was watching the house asked if the timer was for the cookies, while I couldn't think of a sarcastic comeback for finishing a Nooooo, I gave out... (I was a bit of a brat!)
