Wascomats...
I just used a local laundromat the other day; probably my first time in one in years. I just wanted to take the bedspread down and get a good thorough wash and dry. Not a single toploader in the entire place! I'm used to at least seeing a few dependable care Maytags or something but all they had were 3 FL Neptunes. Everything else was some version of a Wascomat.
Years ago I used to go to a laundromat when I was living in my college dorm. I remember it was called "This Suds for You" as it was sporting a small smokey bar that served cheap beer. It was so smokey in that little bar that the laundry side of the building smelled too (sometimes people would just walk over to get their laundry folded while still smoking their cigarette. Nice...
Anywho, those Wascomats really used the water. I remember some of them filling up nearly to the top of the glass on the door. The clothes were absolutely swimming! Even the triple-load machines would fill up rather nicely. The other day with the comforter yielded much different results. Not a single machine had visible water in them. I was hoping for a least a little more in one of the rinses but no. Very little.
It made me really appreciate the washers I've got here at home. One thing an old washer could always do better was rinse!
