I wonder if someone somewhere actually has those models with the cutaway bits hiding away in a collection somewhere if not I wonder if they are in a museum or at the back of a warehouse somewhere. It would be amazing to have the cutaway models in a collection somewhere
BroccoliBeefed There's times when I go to the laundromat and see how people overload the washers (both top and front loaders) and they're under this misconstrued notion that their laundry is going to be clean. Or when they fill the dryers up so much, put in 1.25 of quarters and then "bake" their laundry.
these are like 1959 cadillacs with big fins…Its a shame america has fallen from these works of art…Get in line more people want these machines today than were produced….These will be auctioned one day for 10s of thousands
She has a point; I worry a lot less about overloading my front loading washer than I did with the old top loader. My clothes also last longer now that the agitator (which was a bit worn) is no longer gouging them.
That top loading washer is clearly overloaded, like so many idiots like to do with their conventional top loading machines, even today. And then they have the nerve to blame the machine
No washer and dryer here, so I get to take my clothes to the laundromat every few weeks to wash. They have top loading Maytag's and front loading Neptunes along with some other high capacity front loaders. I'll use front loaders if I have to wash bulky items, but I prefer top loaders much more (they seem to get the clothes cleaner). It's been quite a while since I've used a GE Filter Flo washer at a laundromat, but I liked those the most with Speed Queen coming in second and Maytag's last.
Funny how today s washing machines are alot like the not so good machine on the left. The Westinghouse idea is an excellent idea. Probably too expensive to make with that design so was later abandoned.
The cartoon promoting the “Fiesta of Values” gets Desi’s original nationality wrong, which is to be expected in those days - he was Cuban, not Mexican, so the “Mexican Hat Dance” was completely incorrect. But in American pop culture, such distinctions were ignored or not even known at all.
Hysterical. I swear there's an episode of the Twilight Zone where you see Rod Serling inside the "Laundromat." And I love Lucy and Ricky animated so stereotypical, so 50's!
what's stereotypical about this ad? Ricky Ricardo was a Cuban band leader that's a fact, no stereotype-casting there at all..that's what he was in the show and in real life......
This is so biased and misleading. Notice that the top loader looks overloaded, and she doesn't say the capacity of that top loader is 9 pounds. She just states that it's loaded with 9 lbs. the same as the Westinghouse. Not all top loaders had the same capacity.
