Kev, i just watched it from this link after posting--worked
But after your message, I tried again, and Youtube says it's not ready.
"IT CAN NOT BE" as silly Sam Jaffe says in the SF classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Gort: "Klatu viradda Nicto.
If it worked a few minutes ago, I'm sure it will work again shortly, or I'll just have to give Youtube a hot oil enema

woo hoo!
Thanks for the great video, Mike. My Aunt Margie washed in the kitchen too...in Buffalo NY. Loved the colorful load in the Visi...and the different agitators. The spin on the Whirpool convertible is so cool. I love fast spins.

Great video, Mike - laundry CAN be fun!
I think I remember reading that the WP/KM compact washers spin about 800-850 rpm to compensate for the narrow basket - it should give about the same results as the full-sized WP machines.

Rich, had no clue you were from Buffalo--Holy Toledo!! And an Aunt Margie, too. What kind of washer did she have?
Greg, methinks the fast spin was to make 110 volt drying feasible, but find out for me will you? It's spinning very very fast. The Haier spins at 800 and when I respun a Haier load in the WP, I extracted another HALF CUP of water. The spinning is dramatic, looking and sounding like a Unimatic. Makes my other WP'S look like snails.
Just a month and a few days away, Austin

That was amazing to see all the machines and have a tour of your kitchen. My portable is a Sears, direct drive, teeny weeny washer with Dual Action Agitator. It is fine and much better than going out to do laundry, but holds only a fraction of your machine. It does 2 minutes of high speed agitation and then kicks down to slow. I reset it if the load is soiled. It does not spin at anything approaching fast. I set the dieal to spin for a second round and the clothes feel heavy.

My Whirlpool Tech-Care Quality Training book says hi spin speed is 870 rpm, lo speed is 620. Agitation is 75 spm on hi, 50 on lo speed.
Mike, I love your accent!!!

Thanks Greg, I knew it had to be faster than 800.

Hey Mike,
I have found an extra Kenmore scrubber cap for the roto-swirl. Email me your address and I will send it to you. Swell videos.....those belt drive portables spin at 850 rpm's and have the same tranny, motor and pump as a full size W/P washer.

The model number of the WP Convertible is LHC4900WO and most everything about it matches the full size WP in the garage which was made in 1977. Can you tell me what year the Convertible was made? Since the spin speeed is close to 900, I understand why I first thought I heard a Unimatic in my kitchen.
