My mother had one, but I seem to remember that it was square. Is that possible? I'm 77.

I'm in my mid 60's and we never had one of these either. I did have a great aunt that lived in the woods in middle-upper Michigan with her husband. My mother forced me to go on trips to visit them. This would have been late 50's or very early 60's. Their house was very creepy. All their appliances were very old like this washer, a real icebox, cast iron stove, and a very tall old-time radio. No TV that I remember. I was scared in the house and could not wait till we left.

I'm in my sixties and we always had an electric washer and dryer. I've never seen one in person.

I'm 76 and there may have been one of these before I started school in 1949 but what I do remember was a rangal (?)ironing machine that my Mom used thru early 1950s to do her sheets ( that was before non press). She'd put her sheets through it (it was huge and definitely dangerous to kids) and they came out pressed.

I'm 66 and no I don't remember those. I only remember top loading washers that my mom used. I do remember those umbrella dryers that one used for hanging clothes to dry outdoors.

I remember my Great Aunt having one when I was a young girl.

Sure do. I washed diapers in that in the basement and then carried them up a long stairwell to hang them on the line outside to dry. I remember one time I was wearing a white blouse with a big neck bow which came loose and the long ties got caught up in the wringer. Almost got choked.
