This is not meant to be naughty, but there is something sensual about a Frigidaire in action.
O.K., in Dave's honor: Why does everyone think (GM) Frigidaire is so great?

Indeed. For Kelly and Steve. Sorry for a fake light, but all the rest is real, over a half a century old--almost 60, I think.
iheart......have you ever seen the black tube pulsator on the pulsamatic? The similarity is unmistakable. Maybe someone will post a pic. My gram had one, and I know Robert has one, not sure if he has the phallic agitator.

Hello Amazing Graceful Greg
Wonderful Robert says that you have the older Pulsamatic. Do you have a pic handy to show Iheart and company the infamous black tube pulsator? Keeping it clean and G-rated as you would expect with children tuning in.
Your friend,
Mike.

I've never had the oppritunity to use a Frigidaire washer before. I hope someday I can. I must say from the video's I've seen, I'd love to try or even own one of the earlier models with the 3 Ring agitator. I LOVE Roberts turquoise set. I can't remember the year lol. But I do love it. I like the Jet Action too, but I'm leaning more to the 3 ring types. I have to admit I don't like the 1-18. I've seen a few videos where there is little or no turnover, and they don't rinse as well it seems. It seems like there's just as much suds at the end of the rinse cycle that there was in the wash cycle. So yeah I'd go for a Unimatic. If that's the correct one lol. Great turn over, and virtually eliminates suds if oversoaped like in Roberts video. Plus 1140 RPM spin speed! I think EVERY washer should have that. That means less time in the dryer! Maybe one day I'll be able to come to one of Roberts Wash- In's and maybe get to use that beautiful machine, and maybe a few others of his. The strange thing about Frigidaire washers, I've never seen anyone here with one. No one in my family, or friends of the family. It was either Maytag, Whirlpool or Kenmore! I wonder if that's a west coast thing?

StrongEnough: You are sadly mislead on the 1-18. They do, in fact, have excellent turnover. And they rinse better than most anything on the current market. It's just that they are so efficient with detergent, you actually need very little. And yes, you see foam but that's because the cones disturb and oxygenate the water surface so much. I sure wish I had a video system so I can display the rollover properly. Why, oh why do so many people overload these things?

Appliances in the south...
My friend Gyrafoams impressions about Frigidaire are about like mine...In the town I am from, Lenoir N.C., a town touted for years as the furniture manufacuring center of the south..population in the 50s about 14000 now about 22000 or so , we had the following appliance dealers..
W.E.Shaw-Frigidaire--Considered one of if not the best store, likewise, Frigidaire was considered the best brand.
Teague Furniture-Norge and Philco
W.B.Lindsey-Speed Queen and Hotpoint
Bernhardt and Seagle-Westinghouse and Amana
Shields-Bendix Kelvinator and Maytag
Leftwich-Westinghouse
Duke Power Co. Hotpoint...Just like Atlanta, you could have the bill added monthly to your power bill.
Crowells-G.E.
Home Electric-G.E.
Valmead Furniture-Leonard
O.P.Lutz Furniture-Frigidaire and Monarch
D.D. Suddreth-Philco,Gibson andMaytag
How we got all those stores carrying the same thing ill never know But most people were loyal to there store,in other words if you had an account at Teagues,you might not like Norge as well as Frigidaire, but you had an account there so you bought what he sold,usually if you were rich,you shopped at Shaws, which meant Frigidaire, Or Zenith TV, oh yeah I almost forgot
Carolina Tire and Appliance-Crosley
Overall, there was more Hotpoint Ge and Frigidaire than anything else,but a fair amount of Westinghouse.

Go get yourself a web cam or something! lol just kidding. I would be interested in seeing how a properly loaded and soaped 1-18 works. I just based my opinions on them from the videos I saw of them. And they were quite a few. The ones that I did see with good turnover, looked to have a pretty small load in them to achieve that. And again, just by what I've seen am I basing that. Hopefully one day soon you'll be able to put better faith in me on the 1-18's. I am pretty open minded, so I hope you don't think differently about be in regards to that. Thanks for the heads up!

One word...
Drama.
That is all that's needed in an automatic washer to get top ratings in my book.
