Loaded.
Glen,
That is an impressive load in your Calypso!
I would love to find on of these washers in good shape. All the machines I find...you know that rest of the story.
Please do a video when you get a chance of your Calypso with the load you showed here.
It would be such an amazing archive video. I know this machine can handle this and so much more.
Glad that you are enjoying your machine so much!
This is my favorite modern top load machine hands down!

I pack mine full (Duets ,Troms and Frigidairs) leaving enough room for them to move freely about. I mean business washing clothes for two teenage kids, a triage nurse, a construction worker,five dogs and myself. I wash pillows,sofa cushions,dog beds,bloody nurse outfits,king size bedspreads, tennis shoes, car Mats and area rugs in them. I use Gain (not HE) detergent and fabric softener. I will admit, I rigged them to use more water ( it now fills up just past the window.base.) than before but that really made a big difference. Just recently I washed the eight foot hall runners,one at a time with the kitchen slices .They came out so clean that Gretchen assumed they were new.

I noticed the detergent: is it "Era" ?
It has the same type of dispensing tap as Ariel Liquid had in the UK, around 1998 / 1999. I had a bottle, purchased in Asda supermarket.

<blockquote>I noticed the detergent: is it "Era" ?</blockquote> Era, yes, but that's not what was used on the pictured load.

Today I washed a full dark load of colours in our Panasonic and, yeah, know the clothesline is 3/4 full. And as I washed a nother white load in the AEG, it is completly full...
Yes, I am...
sure that I am NOT using the 100% of the capacity of my washer.
And honestly speaking I couldn't care less: quite often 100% capacity means poor washing, poor rinsing, and too much tangling

Let's not talk about politics here or who did what to who.Go to the other forums if you want to do that it ruins it for other folks.

I have lived these 57 years and have seen and used various automatic washing machines and dryers during those years. I know that the front load domestic washers were mostly all a one tumble direction until around the mid to late 80s. Those machines had a small capacity, poor washing ability and poor extraction for the most part. The Bendix is probably what turned people against front loading machines in the 40s and 50s. The Westinghouse models weren't as bad, but still left much to be desired too. I have seen and used many many top loading machines both solid tub and perforated ones. How much you put in your machine has a great deal to do with how well and uniformly it washes your clothes. The only top load machine I have ever seen wash better with a big load is the 1-18 top load Frigidaire washer. Lint and sediment is sometimes a problem with top loaders. Front loaders do not have that issue at all and today's front load washer with a reversing drum eliminates the tangling and twisting problem too. In my opinion front load washers are the only way to go.
They wash clothing about as well as any top loading machine and do it with less water and detergent. Most of them have very large capacities. The main benefit for me is that clothing comes out virtually lint free. For me that is a big plus!

Who's seen the movie the Ugly American? <---Don't...
answer that!
I've deleted a bunch a posts in here as they were waaaaaaaay off topic and some were downright rude and offensive, which is highly unusual here at aw. I really hope that was a one time deal.
This is a great thread that doesn't need to be hijacked with politics, that's what Dirty Laundry is for where I almost never delete anything (almost doesn't mean never however).
Frank I'm getting a sick headache Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

FL or TL debate
My local Speed Queen dealer reports that the current trend is turning back to TL machines in the US. Two out of three customers have suffered a bad experience and ditch the FL machines for good old style machines where they can see the wash water. They have eliminated Samsung from the sales floor and expect that LG will follow by the end of the year. The only TL HE machine they have on the floor is the Maytag Bravos XL. He states that the Speed Queen machines virtually sell themselves.
Go Speed Queen!
