Hey Laundryboy!
That's the exact same washer model that I have! - but mine is in white.
I picked it up for $100 back in 1995 from a guy who came into my shop looking to sell it.
I used it for years in my apartment, the only thing I replaced was the agitator dogs once. It's been great since.
AND.... I even have the optional fabric softener dispenser that sits on top of the agitator!
I moved, got a house, and brought it with me to keep as a backup in case my Maytag A482 ever needs service.

I fired it up a few weeks ago, and that Kenmore still runs fine.

Those full height Kenmore 24” dryers are rare, even more rare in gas.

I wish they made a full height 24 inch Kenmore washer, or at least a compact washer with a rear control panel. That would be so cool.

Rear control version of this would be so nice. Only thing I would change is having a water fall fill flume.

They're sturdly little machines for sure.
Can't put a lot in them, but of course they're small portables.
That rapid agitation cracks me up though, and the two speed system is nice.
Mine sits, a bit dusty, across the laundry area from the Maytag.

Early direct-drive washers were 24" width, until the 27" standard arrived for larger capacity on the cusp of belt-drive discontinuation.

Nice!


I wish they offered a full line of 24 inch and compact direct drives with precision parts.

Sturdy and powerful. Things get washed and spun out.

I had the pre VMW design washer design in the early 2000s. The one the solenoid actuated brake band and clutch. Found it behind a dumpster and took the hair pin out of the pump. One of the best washers I had. Cleaned, impossible to suds lock and it spun things out. It could handle a full size load, though the tub was of course deeper than the one in the video.

I'd still choose a direct drive version however. The direct drive system was amongst the best ever made.
