Here is the November 1952 issue of Consumer Reports, which was the first time they ever reported on dishwashers. Interesting who they rated number one, and as usual, I disagree with their top spot. Nonetheless, it’s fascinating to see their findings when automatic dishwashers were brand new. In...

For old time sake, here you go! I also love the fact that you were using a 1958 Unimatic all the way through 1996! Shows the long-term durability of these machines if they are properly taken care of.

I don’t see this as “immoral” in any way—if I did, I simply wouldn’t do it. To me, it’s a way of honoring their legacy, since these are characters we all truly love. And it’s important to remember: these are voices of fictional TV characters, not real people. At the end of the video, Washerman...

I understand that some people may feel uneasy about AI-generated voices and videos. However, if you look at the comments on those YouTube videos where I’ve set the tone with these vintage voices, the overwhelming majority are really enjoying what I’m creating. This is the direction creativity is...

Hi Mark, I guess the first thing I would do, if you have an electrical multimeter, is check to see if there is continuity (zero ohms) between the burned point and the other three points that it connects to.

Oh yes it is on my list of upcoming videos to work on over the next year. Just have to schedule a time when Betty and friends are all free! ;)

and I saved 20 cents too!

Thanks Cory, another great video!!! lol this is my favorite part of that video 🤣...

Actually the machine uses just under 30 gallons per load total even with the neutral overflow, just about 1 gallon more than a Unimatic (28.5 gallons) so compared to other machines of the same time it's not really using any more water. In 1950 a GE AW6 uses 34 gallons, the Whirlpool used 36...

Yes the pump runs in either direction so as long as the motor is running it is pumping out water. It's about 6 gallons used during the overflow. The water valve has a flow washer regulated to only fill 2.4 gallons a minute.

Thanks Dan. Yes with the early clutch design it did that. When they changed the clutch and put it on the motor around 1953 it prevented the agitator from doing that during spin start up.

Yes I sure did use AI for the voice narration, and it seems to have advanced quite a bit in quality since I did my last video about 4 months ago.

I've invited Betty, Gladys and Washerman to help film a load in the '49 ABC. Enjoy everyone...

WOW! I wonder if it was converted to the 50hz motor once it was moved there. I do know they had a special 50hz motor for the Unimatic.

Actually a Maytag washer and 1957 Control Tower Washer.

1961 with the new V line.

That looks like Model AW-22/AW-22P from 1934

My testing over the years has shown this statement to be 100% spot on. Drum diameter is a piece of this puzzle but when I was testing a Unimatic at 1140rpm vs. a Rollermatic at 1010rpm with a wider diameter tub in the Rollermatic, the Unimatic still removed more water. Testing was done by...

I especially agree with your statement #1: They will compare two machines made by the same brand that are essentially the same, and then say that one is better than to other. This isn't new and this behavior goes all the way back to the 1950s at least with Washing Machines.
