YAY for Peter

Thanks Peter!!! I completely forgot about this video. I made this about four or five years ago for the club. Here are some jeans washing in my 1949 Maytag AMP, while I'm only washing 4 pairs of jeans in this clip, I can only imagine what would happen with five. Be sure to notice the color of the wash water.

The Thrash-O-Matic award goes to the old Speed Queen. I have video of the SQ at Convention 2002 thrashing the hell out of my jeans.

Hmmm... Looks like we need a Frankenmore Skinny Rotoswirl demonstration. 5 jeans (size 33/30) and the water level (I kow it won't be accurate) set to about 3/4 full (standard tub fill achieved by playing with the water level switch) and then kick it up to FULL (large tub fill) and see the difference.

Yay for lintmaking Kenmores!

Very impressive, although, I have a question...........

Thank you Robert, this is really neat to watch. How would a Kelvinato maybe a Filterflow with a ramp agitator? Which one of these would have a better turnoverThat was amazing how blue the water was in the AMP.Were those new?

That AMP is very akin to the old Norges wash action. Lots of movement in that wash basket.

Lots of movement in that basket

Is right...my goodness. I am beginning to wonder how many of my grandfather's "flannel" shirts from the 40's and 50's were really "flannel" to start out with.
But wow! I just love the way that pressure switch goes down as the water spins out. Such brilliantly simple solutions to such challenging problems.
Once again, thank you Robert.
(But I still think Samantha's videos are cuter.)

A Filter-Flo with the ramp Activator is really the BEST jeans washer out there as far as I'm concerned, especially an 18-pounder. When I'm not using my White-Westy FL, I wash jeans in my '77 Dispensall with that agitator. The aggressive dip-roll agitation is no match for a stray pair sitting on top of the load, let me tell you! Also, when I'm washing sheets and there are air bubbles on top of the load, it will pull everything down, bubbles and all!

WOW, wish I would have been on to take part, sorry, I know ya'll missed my company, but have been busy. Anywho, very nice and yes the Frigidaire wins!

Ok Peter, will heed your advise!

love to all

Steve

F&P IWL12 takes on 7 or 8 pairs of jeans.
