[hooverwheelaway]

You saw it here, FIRST.

Damn, that is FABULOUS!

 

[aussie-plugs]

A-maz-ing!!

What an incredible story and fantastic machine. I'm very pleased for you, Robert. After all the heartache, you deserve to have found your treasure.

Looking forward to the next video.

Cheers,

Nick

CONTRATULATIONS!

Robert, that I a great looking looking machines. I don't know much about the Apex machines, but I can't wait to see videos. Isn't a great feeling when you get the machine you've been looking for!

 

[jonvance1990]

Now that's something. Congratulations.

That is the craziest thing I have ever seen! It looks like a bunch of white pins sticking up!

Apex.....The first name in household appliances...

I am stunned.....just stunned.....A machine that can actually rollover the clothes "WITHOUT" the water in the tub, is just beyond words. Tonight when I get back home, Im going to run my 1936 Apex Upright Vacuum in a triumphant blast to all things Apex.

I know I've said It before, but Congratulations Robert. And to many happy washings with your new Bouncing baby Boy...

Chad

Heres the most contemporary photo I could find of the Apex vac Im gonna use in celebration!!!

[DADoES]

Wow, this a treat for sure!

 

[gansky1]

and I thought the 47 GE going into spin was cool!

If you started with that much water and had a 20 minute wash cycle - you could be HE!

 

[Unimatic1140]

at the end of the first spin, fill begins and water clutch slowly drains slowing tub and putting back in bounce mode.

[appnut]

It's actually a Bendix PowerSurge with hute wobble plate!!!

 

[bigalsf]

Very cool!

That is an awesome machine! Congrats on your find, Robert. I hope you have a lot of fun with it!! (Very cool fill action!) How much does it hold?

 

[a440]

What an amazing machine!
The sonic waves, even when dry was amazing!
The "beat per minute" against the clothes is astounding!
It was all about the rhythm of the clothes against against the tub. It would "wave" the dirt out. The less water would make more of a concentrated "rub" or "sonic wave" so to speak!
So advance in my mind! I could be wrong in the process, but it is obvious in my mind.
I had no idea that this tub vibrated at this frequency!
It was about soaking the clothes and "beating" the dirt out. Beating not being a bad thing in this case. It was actually very gentle.
What is the spin speed?
Thanks for the videos Robert!
This is very abnormal from normal washing of it's day! But I love it!

Congratulations Robert. I can't begin to tell you how happy and excited I am for you.

 

[rapidry1000]

Congratulations. Such a rare machine and so unique!

 

[rinso]

Robert, I can't think of anyone who deserves a beauty like this more than you. Congratulations on your find. It seems to be in great working condition. I love the unusual wash action. Great videos!

 

[jons1077]

How cool!

It's like a Philco/Calypso!!! APEX made some of the coolest designs...anything but the norm! Congrats on this find. It is truely amazing. And works perfectly and everything!!!

 

[foraloysius]

Yay!!!!!!

You did it!! Congratulations!! So exciting you found your dream machine! It certainly is something special!

 

[revvinkevin]

Wow Robert, that is FANTASTIC!!!!!!

I was not aware of your long time search for an Apex washer, but I have VERY happy that you have FINALLY (and AMAZINGLY) found one!

CONGRATULATIONS ROBERT!!!

Kevin

 

[animasinsulinpu]

OMG!!!!!

Robert, I can't Beleive it!!! I wish I was there with you to watch this with you, but then I'd have a super bad low blood sugar reaction, you'd have to call paramedics, then I'd come to and have to get NAKED with them, watch that washer and then pass again...OMG I could just DIE!!! The appliance Goddesses LOVE you TOO much.....Bill in Az......

 

[qsd-dan]

Hats off to the engineers that designed that mechanism!! Must be as reliable as a Maytag to still function correctly after all of these years!

Congrats!!!!!

 

[jetcone]

Robert

Can you post some of the Patent numbers here? I'd like to look them up. I can't quite get that action from the video, I can't quite tell if its bouncing or nutating or both.
But SHAZAMM I have never seen a top loader turn over the clothes DRY!

And She just RIPS them off the walls after spin ZHEEEZUS!

 

[mielabor]

Robert,

Your story about finding this machine is almost unbelievable. Al those years you lived practically next to it! You must have been so excited by this discovery. Congratulations!

 

[mielabor]

Those engineers were way ahead of time: I see that there is a decent turnover even without any water. Now that's the most water-saving top loader I've ever seen! LOL

 

[pulsator]

**WOW!!!**

I'm on the next flight to Minneapolis!!!!! That machine is AWESOME!!!!!!!! CONGRATS ROBERT!!!! You completely deserve it!!!!

 

[alr2903]

No joke aside this could be the "New wave" of T/L washing, no wobble plate to trap clothes etc. Robert is the patent on this apex design expired? Having seen it work i now understand why CU stated it would not spin with inadequate water pressure. Is there a "balloon" type thing that water pressure fills to kick in the spin? when you get time someday i would love to see the mechanism. alr2903

 

[toploader55]

Congratulations Robert on your Find

It is truly amazing what sometimes is almost right next door.
Please be well and enjoy that great Machine. Eddie

 

[jeffg]

Congrats Robert! That is one amazing machine.

Did you say it has no outer tub? Where does the bounced-out water go?
