    top load or front load Hey Mike. I have a Servis MK2 supertwin. We have had it in the family about 35 years without any problems. It was my grandmothers before me and as far as I can gather, I think she bought it some time in the 1960's. I think by that time the brand name had changed from...

    Top Load or Front Load....?

    top load or front load Wow!! What an interesting response from you guys. It's interesting to read the different opinions. Well, after reading the different answers, I will probably just stick with a TL washer. I haven't had any problems with it. Either that, or I will go back to the good ole'...

    Top Load or Front Load....?

    Top Load or Front load Hey Paul, I do agree with you on that one. I don't personally own a front load, but some of my friends say that they take ages to do one load of laundry,while my top load can do 2 or 3 loads to their 1 load of laundry. Is that your Speed Queen Paul ? If so, I am sooooo...

    Top Load or Front Load....?

    Agitators

    agitators Hi Chestermikeuk. Yeah I just recently purchased a Wilkins Servis Superheat MK16 from ebay. The agitator does that 210 arc. Really impressed with it. I think the Spiralators from Hotpoint top loaders / twin tubs done a 90 degree arc ?

    Agitators

    agitators Hey RevvinKevin, what machine is Agitator no. 13 from ? Don't think I have seen that type before. I had a Hotpoint top load with the Spiralator Agitator and it had a filter Flo device which you put on top of the agitator. That thing really got rid of the fluff from your laundry ...

    Wilkins Servis MK16 Superheat Wringer Washer.

    Just bought a Servis wringer washer from ebay. It still works great, although I have to replace the pump hose and belt as both are a little worn. But a great machine otherwise.!!
