I would do that with the Bravos. Experiment to see what the machine would do. Drain it and then start over again with the wet wash. It would then fill a few inches above the impeller depending if I was using normal or power wash. The wash action improved greatly with very good reverse rollover...

Ooh! These look great! Like the agitator. Do these still say commercial heavy duty ? I can't make it out clearly.

They should for the high prices they sell them for.

Frigilux,, if I could ask. How much of Persil 2in1 do you use for a full load of fairly dirty loads ? I just recently purchased Persil 2in1 for the Speed Queen. I find it rinses a little better than tide. Do you use a whole cap ?

I know what you mean about the wash action of these machines. A few pair of jeans in my old Maytag Bravos X and many times a pair would get pushed to the side of the tub. These machines wash better with more clothes as the load blossoms more. I just wish the control board had been reliable...

I recently tried an iPhone 7 for not even a 24 hour period because I wanted to try another OS platform. Worked well for the most part but I had trouble with Apple ID so I couldn't download apps. I returned it to TMO the next day. Windows to me is a much more enjoyable OS for my uses. I am not a...

Agreed rapunzel. Just to digress for a moment. When WP was using F&P motors they seemed to have better wash action than what they use now. I know the high end models are still using a DD motor, but they are a combination of the DD and belt driven cabrios. I could hear gears when I turned the...

I had a friend back in the 80s who had one of these and I got to play with it . Was a cool little washer but you really can't load these too full. I'm surprised the tub was porcelain and not plastic or SS. Maybe to keep in line with other GE washers ?

I used to see F&P over here in more mainstream outlets like Lowe's. I think they are now being sold through smaller independent outlets . The only thing I didn't like about F&P washers,..that is before they redesigned them, was they felt very cheaply made. I understand why they had that plastic...

I cringed when I saw this story.Thankfully WP did step up and do the right thing. I know there are those of us who hates Whirlpool for "destroying" other companies but I have had good service from all the products I have purchased from them over the years. I hope they correct their problems quickly.

I hope this works out well for speed queen. I will gladly embrace this new way of washing as long as it can still get grimy work clothes clean. I certainly hope it rinses better than the one I have now. It's not that bad but could definitely use improvement without using the second rinse switch...

I can say one thing for you Paulo,..you explain yourself pretty well and I don't want any bad feeling here. I shouldn't have put you on the spot like that. My apologies. I'm not here to argue with you or anyone. Take care, Pat

Glenn i have used fl washers in a laundromat and those machines were no more impressive in getting clothes clean. Granted I would imagine the shorter cycle times probably bad to do with that, but it goes to show why the fl style needs longer to get clothes cleaner. Those machines also have...

The top load design was probably perfected by the seventies. I don't know what advances could be made. Now manufacturers have to redesign the machines and change what worked well for the most part of seventy years. Does CU use the same criteria to clean an 8lb load they did in the 50s ? Because...

If you want a machine that is close to your old Maytag I would suggest a Speed Queen . You can still get the mechanical control model AWN432. That model has the eco normal cycle that does a spray rinse instead of deep fill agitated. You can still use the Heavy Duty wash cycle to get the deep...

I wasn't trying to be low. Do you know someone with Aspbergers ? You made the statement and in your mind you think you know who they are. So all I am asking is for you to state who you think they are. I mean you could tell by their posts..right ? Very condescending of you. Must be the...

Come now Paulo and enlighten the rest of us. Who are these poor you accuse of Asbergers ? Surely you know. Name names please and have the balls to call them out.

Johnrk. You are on a washer website which is dedicated to the automatic washer are you not ? Most of those beautiful old machines were top loaders. So yeah it is significant that after 70 years of the top loading traditional style washer,..it will no longer be built,....effectively phasing...

Hard to believe 70 years of automatic top load washers with real transmissions will be gone in a couple of months with Speed Queen closing out the era. A moment of silence.

I don't even look at WP top loaders as much as I used to. There is nothing there that is interesting anymore. I accept the fact that the real agitator machines are gone and the current platform of cabrios do nothing at all for me. I still would have considered WP had they kept the F&P drive...
