Most Boring Automatic Washer

[volsboy1]

I have to vote for any washer with that Dual Action or Corkscrew agitator.They are SOOOO boring its like watching paint peel but that would prob be the more intresting one.When I was kid we had a pair of Norge 20Lb washer and dryer it washed the hell out of clothes and that agitator lint filter that would spit everytime it stoped to go the other way.They got them in 1972 or so before I was born and they lasted till I was in college,that washer didnt slow during the washing arc it had a huge straight vane agaitator that seemed to slam against a wall then reverse.Mom complanied about pilling the colthes and she even had one of thoese shavers.

Oh, I don't know about that, volsboy1. Just slip that shredmore in high gear and pop the clutch for some rollover action that rivals that of a 1-18! True, it would have to be the lack of a waterfall lint filter that does it in for some of us, but I find augers to be somewhat fascinating. But that's probably because I used to live on a farm. Go figure.

i know im going to get some Sh*t for this but i personaly think the Frigidaire 1-18 is boring. I mean it really has no turnover, unless you have a small load and a large water setting. But thats just my OPPINION.

I never had a problem with the dual action agitators...the first one I installed on a whirlpool, never shreded anything and seemed to work better with a full almost packed load, as in their demonstration, but it did work alot better in the belt drive rather than the direct drive, the DD was moving so fast and short strokes that the corkscrew never seemed to move anything, and then in the newer models they angled the vanes downward which helped a lot, but in gentle speed, with hese agitators nothing moved, so I really preferred the larger KA agitator for a DD application....

but I did find the 1-18 frigidaire to be boring, like what was said earlier, unless its a tiny load with a lot of water, that thing would bob up and down, and the load would just sit still....

For a Kenmore BD, washer, I vote Super Roto-Swirl FTW.

For a DD machine, the str8 vane agitator does nothing. The clothes just sit there.

The Kenmore's we had were all belt driven and the agiator I think was broke it never rolled the clothes.We had a new Maytag with the same type of agitator and it was just as boring.When I moved out for college I got a used old Kelvinator and it was great I have never seen one before with that strange huge agitator,I just told the used place to bring me a cheap whasher.I loved it,that was a good washer and it ran night and day cauz my parents got me a Apartment when I was in college instead of the Dorm all my broke friends would bring there wash to my place.My best friend has a Shredmore and I have used them alot they wash very differnt than our Kenmore's but I have never had one myself though.I JUST LOVE THE FRIGIDARES 1-18 and the Kelvinators also were cool when I first used it I didnt think I would be able to get any clothes in it,I didnt know they did that strange offset round and round deal it was OLD when I got it and lasted another ten years till my roomates house burned down.

WAIT A MINUTE THERE BUSTER!!!

MAYTAG - When properly loaded, the clothes just seem to dance in the water as they rollover. I love the action! I adore watching a Maytag...There may not be Alexis Carrington-Colby-Dexter DRAMA, but the machine was designed for stoic tenasity while doing a proper job to a proper load...

I LOVE ME SOME MAYTAG!

Any machine can seem boring to someone...I personally don't like these new generation of top loaders that use a FL washing system - the agitator turns like 500+ degrees one way pauses and then turns back...AND these new pulsators do nothing for me...Not my thing, but I am sure some people love them...AS for pulsators - Give me a good old Hoover, Maytag, or GE portable...Now that's some pulsator action!

At least they spin drain

Ever since the AMP, all Maytag washers have a spin drain. I think this greatly adds to the drama of the overall cycle. Any washer with a spin drain is more interesting to me. I especially like any solid tub machine because the water is ejected so quickly, faster than it can be pumped out. As for most boring I would say a Kenmore with dual action agitator, whether BD or DD.

LOL.....I was talking about out 2000 model Maytag it was awful it would throw belts all the time and the pump was replaced about 4 times.It was a performa I think not sure it would also leave grease on our clothes when we didnt have any grease on any when they went in..My Mamaw had a centerdial Maytag that lasted for 25 years.It was a great washer...

I like nearly every washer but have to agree with some the newer machine are pretty dull, i miss hearing the sound of the timer advancing through the cycle and the higher water levels you get with older washers and the louder motors that sounded like they had some power in them and they were going to take off lol oh happy days
