    POD 6-2-21 WP SudsMiser

    I think a suds save is not an hassle or frustrating to use at all. And at best you can reuse water no  more  than three times any way. You can do a load of whites and at best a load of datks afterward as you will have warm water by then. I still see lots doing 2 consequent washes. Whites and...

    Worst washing machines

    Patrick, all southern America had machines made with whirlpool parts. Manufacturers such Centales in Colombia/Venezuela as well. But that happened also with other manufacturers, such as Westinghouse for the Lavinia machines, Westinghouse itself was a brand down there. Also general electric...

    Worst washing machines

    Ignis machines were actually really good. So were the first whirlpool that were nothing but the same machines but with the new brand.   Italy in general was good at making machines also built lots of parts or whole machines for Electrolux and AEG. You had some cheap brands such as...

    So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

    Pulsator TT's Because they probably have them made in China imported and branded. Like 99% of TT's today available on market. At best they are assembled but made with chinese parts and designs. And for some reasons Asia is pulsator country instead of Agitators. I also am not a fan of...

    So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

    Guessing: The concept is to have a washer that just wash. Guess that whoever gets them is someone already owning a separate spinner. I also guess some are attracted to the idea of saving on hot water and detergent for more loads so maybe they do have an automatic that just use to rinse and...

    Worst washing machines

    Patrick, Whirlpool always kind of had a bad reputation abroad. As soon as they left the Philips-Ignis line they started to become garbage. Whirlpool introduction to Europe started with Purchasing Ignis that was partnered with Philips. Decently good stuff, both stuff coming from Netherlands and...

    So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

    Oh, Indeed I was doubting what you were referring to, but as you did not say say anything to Louis then I assumed you meant a DD. Anyway, these kind of washers called "round washers" are common in Mexico, they got rid of the wringer as most people now use a spinner instead, as said over there...

    The 17 Year Periodical Cicadas

    It is something we have always had in the summer, both in the country and within the town. Are they rare?    It is something I just take for granted, typical sound of summer. Along with frogs at night. In the night we also have tons of lightning bugs.

    So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

    That Australian Whirlpool is cute. I like those controls. It looks like it might just need a new timer motor. They made tons of 220v 50hz DD for export guess parts could be not that hard to find

    So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

    Patrick, yes.  All these Koblenz  and "lavadoras redondas" in general have an alternating motor. The newer koblenz have this spiralator agi indeed works Just like the one of the, easy. Easy was very known in Mexico much that today you still find the Brand (rebranded stuff by Mabe IIRC) as it...

    So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

    Guess it does have something to do with the fact that gerboxes are expensive to make. So as there are now available  relatively  cheap motors that can do an alternate back and forth they use these, not to mention a gearbox always tend to be  more noisy, even the quietest one.  Also, water...

    White Westinghouse washer

    Me neither understand indexing tubs. They said it was to improve wash (even though it did the exact opposite) and I think the reality was the cost cutting. After all it was a feature in cheap machines such as Franklin Western aauto etc... And Westinghouse always cared more about front...
