Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

They have been updated some over the years, but nothing substantial. Decent machines from what I've experienced...louder than other machines of course, but that can be remedied pretty easily with insulation. Cleaning performance is just ok...they will do the job, but I'd probably do a bit more rinsing/scraping than I would with higher end machines. About as old school as you can get..but I kinda like that about them.
 
And still electromechincal, which is a huge sell. I really like their new racks, they do not have those tips which can rust. Only thing is the wash arm holes look smaller, and they took out the 3rd final rinse.
 
What Joey said.
This is the old school design with big motor and loud snappy solenoid. Upgraded with active fine filter.
It's been neutered a bit to use less water, so the spray isn't as epic as it used to be.
I had one of these in an apartment a few years back.
They're "ok" and I think would work well in a public office setting for coffee mugs and dishes.
It certainly is no Potscrubber anymore.
But for the price, and simplicity, and agony of dealing with an office full of people that couldn't give two hoots about machines.....I think it's a good pick.

If you wanted to get something a tad bit better, and larger, and quieter, there's this unit for just a few more clams:

Potscrubber

I may beg to differ, the main wash is VERY long, and considerably heated in pushbutton models, so it might (key word) perform well with baked on foods. The model you linked looks really nice, but it might not be worth the added cost. As long as the machine is ok and does not break down like a Frigidaire does im content.

How was your machine with drying btw?

Wow. Ok. That's a freakin long wash.
Drying was adequate.
Plastics suffered.
Everything else was pretty much dry.
No major dry complaints with a rinse aid.
 
Long indeed

Yup, they are compensating for the smaller holes and reduced water usage. Maybe thats what got them to try a filter after all these years. The pushbutton model seams to run the heat longer in the main wash, so that time is out to good use.

You don't happen to recall the model # do you?

Chet, that's the unit I had. Little fancier.
Same wash system though with the smaller holes and active fine filter.
One bonus in addition to being all electronic, is that it had the 3rd level rinsing arm.
This was 4yrs ago or. I wonder if they've changed the cycle sequences since then. But it did run longer than older platforms.
Normal was just that; for medium soils at best.
If I had any heavy soils or cookware, Heavy or Pots & Pans was a must.
Silverware was a weak spot for this machine.
But if cycled right, with good detergent, it was a pretty good machine for the rock bottom price.
