I too had a direct drive Sears Kenmore Elite top loader made by Whirlpool that was very harsh on clothes. It had a 'triple' action agitator, and that did not make a bit of difference. My Mom has a Whirlpool about 4 years old and it is also harsh on clothes. I NEVER had another machine that was...

I recently bought a new Speed Queen Top loader model AWS76NW, and I have to say in my opinion probably the BEST top load on the market. It has a very good agitation that DOES NOT hurt the clothes, but gets them really clean. I previously had a Whirlpool built Kenmore which could be very harsh on...

Yes, unfortunately it appears that no one here in NY area where pickup is possible has interest. I truly wanted to see any of these machines go to someone who would really appreciate them as I have. I recently had my local Speed Queen dealer take one of my Matag Round tub wringers for his...

I need to downsize, and have to get rid of several wringer washers I have. They are all in working order. My location is in Dutchess county NY, about an hour and a half north of NYC. Available are Maytag N2L round tub, E2L square tub, and and Easy Spirolator wringer. In addition I have a NEW...

We had one of these washers when I was a very young kid. My Mom and Grandmother didn't like it much, I remember them complaining because it tangled clothes terribly, I remember them also complaining about wrinkles. The machine also had many mechanical problems as I remember, the service man was...

I actually bought a brand new Speed Queen wringer washer from a dealer in 1996. The tag on the machine says made in USA, I believe Ripon, WI. This machine may have been manufactured before that of course. It was delivered in a closed box with large letters on the box 'Speed Queen Wringer...

The machine in picture of the day today was made by Norge for Montgomery Wards department store. Believe it or not, my sister in law had this machine up until about 2 years ago when it finally broke down for good. It had many years of service and was a very good and sturdy washer. She also had...

I for one am very happy to see that someone is trying to do something about the rediculous laws about drying clothes outside. In an era where so many are 'saying' they are so concerned about energy consumption, the dryer is one of the biggest hogs of energy in a home. In my family, we have...

Where I live here in NY, I know of 3 different appliance stores, one where I have a good friend working, who tell me top loaders still outsell front loader by a large margin. As long as there remains demand, the machines will not dissapear. Most people like choice and variety, and not all have...

In response to the last post here, I for one, do not overload our machine, I have been very careful about that. I can tell you that damage has happened to some of our clothes no matter what size load we have done, or how little is in the load, in fact, there have been times where only a FEW...

Thanks to everyone for your contribution to this information! Does anyone know about Speed Queen, what type of lid control they use, is it the 'magnet' thing as well? I saw one the other day, and could not figure out where or what might control it, same holds true for the new Maytag.

Thanks for the information. I noticed on the GE washers, a small oblong square on the right hand side of the lid, and a soft oblong panel on the right hand side of the opening, which seem to meet when the lid is closed. I wonder if this is the 'magnet' system, and if it can be tripped more...
