Windy, speaking of Maytag washers, and purely mechanical ones, my aunt and uncle bought a Maytag washer after he came home from WW II. It was the old fashioned type with the rollers that squeezed the water out of the clothes so they could be hung up to dry.
Well, that washer lasted about 40 years until about 1986 and it was just worn out and not worth looking for parts. She insisted on another one and my uncle found one. It outlasted her. No bells and whistles on that thing. Lol
My grandmother had one of those in the early sixties. My mom made sure we kids didn't play with it, by telling us tales of children getting their arms squished between the rollers.
Are you old enough to remember hanging clothes out to dry? I am. I didn't live in a place with a dryer until I got my first apartment at 21.
