Holiday Morning Wash

[Unimatic1140]

I haven't washed towels in two weeks so I have a ton of them to do, plus all the whites, sheets and a filthy throw rug. So its time for five wash hot wash loads all at once. I love starting multiple washes as once and running around to each machine to catch the best parts of the action. Five loads washed and dried in less than 1 1/2 hours hours, now we can go to Lake Calhoun to lay out in the sun, YAY.

The whirling rainbow flag of color in the spinning '47 Unimatic is dazzling and spectacular; then at 2 o'clock, there is Old Glory in red white and blue for the 4th of July. <br
Only You, Magic Man, only you !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Robert. Thank you for posting all those great pictures.
I enjoyed viewing them. When I do laundry, I too will us
a whole batch of machines and go from one to the next to
watch as much as I can. Hope you had a nice 4th <br <br

Why did/do so few top loaders use a high spin speed?

Spin Speed

I to am interested why more TLs didn't spin faster. It seems like the beefy suspension found in BD Whirlpools and Vintage Maytags for example would have been able to handle a 1000 plus rpm spin speed <br

If you think my hanging wash out on the line is bad Greg, you should see my ironing. My iron is called a Filtrator <br
<I>I'll bet the towels from the Frigidaire and GE dried in no time.
Yup, a large load of towels from the GE dried in the 50AMP Kenmore dry in about 15 minutes, 20 minutes out of the Unimatic and 30-35 out of most of my other machines, with the exception of the little Bendix which is about 45 minutes <br

I’m not quite sure about that <br

The Whirlpool rod suspension system would never be able to take an 1140rpm spin, the cabinet would shake itself silly. As for the Maytag I suspect it might handle an 1140rpm spin, but I don’t know for sure. Maytag is the brand I know least about.

Whirlpool Combo

The suds viewing window of the Whirlpool Combo (picture 3) is another revelation for me. I like those little details! Now I get the impression that there is very little water in the tub during washing. That is an interesting fact for a washer that is almost fifty years old. Were low-sudsing detergents already available at that time? I am just curious because recent Discuss-O-Mat discussions make me think that HE detergents are a relatively new phenomenon in the US.

I cannot understand why the modern TL from the US do not spin faster although they did once. My HOTPOINT TL from the UK does, namely 1050 rpm <br
