What are the main differences between these two Maytag models?

suburbanmd said, "WasherFan, I've got to point out that you're seemingly judging front-loaders from your experience with one of the least expensive, most basic models sold in the U.S. I can't imagine going back to a top-loader after owning a Miele W4840 for a few months." According to...

Thread# 22112 The BIG Question Post# 346655-5/5/2009-05:37 ||| WasherFan (USA)... I don't really get this whole idea that it is so essential to save water. GIVE ME A BREAK! Water is "wasted" all the time. People wash their cars, water their plants & yards, shower frequently, wash dishes, etc...

Well that didn't work. I wish I knew how to post YouTube videos where it shows a picture of it here.

I found this on YouTube about RAMCO washers... <object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...

Sure did. Looks odd.

sudsman: Anyway you could take some pictures of the wash tubs for us? Maybe use a yard stick or something for a visual size reference?

I love this video...

sudsman: Just for clarification, I was not gripping about commercial front loaders. I have no space to own one. But personal front loaders are no comparison to commercial ones as the commercial ones must have way bigger tubs and therefore use more water. When my Mom had a top loader, she used...

Wow Laundress! Thanks for all that information! :) So Bendix had all the patents essentially? I assume the proliferation of front loaders today is due to their patents expiring or the company not being dominant?

In regards to the pedestals, yes I am also convinced they are a complete ripoff new.

I forgot to mention if I could have a old dream machine, it would be a Maytag A806 top loader from around 1975 in turquoise.

Thanks all for your comments. I didn't mean to flare any tempers. I am just searching for an answer to a question and it seems that question is being thought of by others. I do miss the simplicity of the old top loader, but I do think the front loader of today is the better choice. I got my...

Yeah that is true, but it would make the point of trying to find ways of using salt water even more important. But still, I ponder what the better system is. I know the first washer was supposedly a front loader so why were top loaders made? Did they work better than front loaders?

I don't really get this whole idea that it is so essential to save water. GIVE ME A BREAK! Water is "wasted" all the time. People wash their cars, water their plants & yards, shower frequently, wash dishes, etc. Yet all the sudden, we are "wasting" water washing clothes? PLEASE! I learned a...

I have been thinking about this on and off for weeks. What is the best system for washing? FRONT LOADERS PROS: It makes sense they would be the better choice. Clothing gets picked up and dropped into a pool of wash water. In terms of commercial use (hospitals, hotels, etc.) they seem to all...
