Sally Wilson bought her Maytag washer in June 1985. It's still running and it's never needed any repairs
When Sally Wilson bought a new washing machine from Newson’s Fine Home Furnishings in downtown Prince George in 1985 she had no idea she was about to contribute to making the Maytag repairman lonely.
“It’s been around all that time and, touch wood, I’m still using it, it’s just an amazing little beast,” said Wilson.Wilson was living on Douglas Street when her Maytag 512 machine cleaned its first load of laundry on June 29, 1985. With tax included, it cost her $940.40.She and her husband Stuart went on to have two kids and the family gave that washer a steady workout. Amazingly, it’s kept working without the need for any kind of repair.
“I’d like to contact somebody from Maytag, how often does that happen?” said Wilson, who worked as the front office receptionist at the Prince George Citizen for several years in the 1990s.
