Kettles, meet Pots

I found this video of these guys that collect WASHING MACHINES.

This is a great reality check. If you watch this and your jaw drops, that is how people look at our club

Oh man.  I couldn't look away and watched the whole thing.  I just hope there is never a nationally covered news story about Weber Kettles.  The market is already getting competitive as it is.

Great find. I don't collect old appliances but I do use them because new machines are junk. We have a 1989 maytag washer and 1987 dryer that have been in continual use since I purchased them used 20 years ago. There's nothing I cant fix on them and I don't plan on ever replacing them. My wife could care less as long as they work.  I think they perfected appliances in the 70s and 80s and they have only gone down hill.

I carry this theme through most of our working machines around the house including lawn mowers. I mow the grass with a 1974 lawnboy and have 2 more 70s lawnboy to ensure I won't have to mow with anything else for the duration of my life

My brother has 23 lawn boys and 2 webers. We are similar only I like webers more than lawn boys.

It did make me think about my washing machine at my apartment.  I've always thought that having a "Magic Chef" washing machine is kind of funny for some reason.  It's made by may-tag when you look at the bottom side of the lid.

Great post, TFS.  A reproduction video would truly be hilarious.

Modern appliances don't seem to last well, that's for sure.  The dryer in my house broke down a couple of years after I moved in so I took it apart and found the problem, a broken drive belt, and fixed it myself. The most difficult part of the process was finding a replacement belt which was made a bit difficult because Sears is circling the drain and not stocking Kenmore parts anymore it seems. I found the equivalent Whirlpool belt at a local appliance repair shop after phoning a couple of places and turning up blanks. That experience gave me some insight in how older appliances are designed and built and the confidence to tackle repairing them myself when the need comes up vs have a repair shop send someone to do it or junking them and buying new ones.

Yeah but at least we collect manly stuff that involves fire and food. That video should have been all women, j/s! Lol   
Kidding. Not kidding. Kidding...

Great videos! Imagine a recreation of the washing machine video with kettles instead. Puts things into perspective

I lost it when they talked about the guy that only collects "turquoise" appliances.

I don't know if I can evenly distribute the geekyness though. EVERYONE was geeking out... but i caught craiger the most (intentionally)
