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

Hi Austin, A very Happy Birthday to you tomorrow. It sure sounds like you are having a ball with the Uni!! But then who wouldn't. I think what amazes me the most besides the fantastic cleaning ability of the machine is the clear rinse water in the rinse. I am always amazed when I am at Gregs and see how clear the water is even with a load of towels. That 1140rpm.rapidry makes all the difference. Have fun, this is one birthday you will always remember. Terry
 
shirt stains

For a fair comparison, I assume you had done the pre-treatment on the shirts and wahsed them in another machine? It really would've been interesting if you had pre-treated the shirts the same way, adn washed one in the WO-65 and 1 in the 1-18 for a comparison.
 
Nice action shots

and a Super Reveal! Happy Birthday Austin! Nothing is faster or more thorough than that machine in my experience.
You'll have to put a load counter switch on the lid hinge when you are in school so you can keep track of any hidden use by family members!!!

I can't wait to see your first suds cake!

Cheers
jon & aloysius!
 
Austin, well it's that Live Water Action that so thoroughly and gently cleans even the dirtiest of laundry.

And yes appearances are deceiving. That machine actually holds a lot and the fuller the load (within reason) improves cleaning and performance of the machine. I mean, the picture of that first load, I immediately thought, o he's got a bit more room in there. That's about 3/4 full).

And I"m very impressed the sheets didn't tangle. Maybe you could talk to Gyrafoam. He won't use his unimatics in the winters due to the bad tangling of the long-sleeved and pant leg attire.
 
Thanks guys! Bob, you'll see this Live Water Action in person at that "future wash-in"...and you'll be able to experiment with capacity as well! I don't know if you can fit a "Bob Load" in this machine though! LOL

Jon, that sounds like a great idea...Load Counter aka "Clothes Odometer"!! And Terry, I definitely think the next Uni find here should have your name on it!!

Jaune, the most important thing here is that the shirts got clean and I can wear them again.

Just curious

how the descendent 1-18 would've done compared to "Gramps" under the same conditions. Did they improve it? Did it get worse? Spinning obviously got worse, but one wonders about the wash action?
