P.O.D. 3/14/14 EASY Washer

[daveamkrayoguy]

"EASY-LY" an appliance that did not make it to too many laundry rooms in the Mostly Maytag/Whirlpool/GE/Kenmore-preferred world...

Where's the Water Level?--or is it a TIMED FILL?

Would like to discuss more...

lifetime WARRANTY?1?

on ALL operating parts!  That is something!  And look at those wildly abstract agitator blades....

Is this EASY washer a............

HOTPOINT washer built by GE?

I really thought w/ it being built by the Hupp Corporation it would be associated w/ GIBSON (and that's what Gibson washers & dryers were branded as), who also built the early Mont. Wards...

Where's the Water Level?--or is it a TIMED FILL?

Reading the advertisement it looks like there is a water saver button that you have to push for a lower water lever for a smaller load. You most likely have to come back at the rinse portion and push the button again, but I could be wrong.

button

Likely no one came back to push that button again for rinse, so the marketing/ad folks just claimed Fantastic Thorough Rinsing!!!!

Solid tubs were far more common in the 50's and 60's, usually with timed fill, and they were also usually only 8 to 10# machines, so there wasn't often a reason to run a "small" load. This one does list 14#, pretty impressive.

Norge had a "Touch-N-Go" button on some of their solid tubs, same thing. But then the rinse filled to the top. My 74 Sqpeed Queen offers 3 positions for the wash time fill, then the rinse fills to the top regardless. They do claim great rinsing, and they are correct.

Various brands seen on this website had a water level switch in the outer tub, to sense the beginnings of the overflow. Very good for a full wash, but no allowance for a half load.

Back to this Easy----I'd pay the extra water bill if I had this, it's cool. It looks 60's era, near the end for Easy

reread POD

I reread-----VelvaPower Transmission, Velva Balance, VelvaGlaze agitator, Velvaguard----as long as that ain't printed on the machine itself, I'd live with this washer, lol

Overflow rinsing (on machines that do so) makes a less-than-full-fill not so much happening in the end.

Nice Looking Machine!!!!!!

It looks like it is Borg-Warner made,look at how nice the drive and mechanics are designed.Appears very heavy duty and well engineered. All you need to top off your wash-day is a velveeta sandwich!

Now THIS would be a DD washer I would like to have-the transmission looks like it could come from a small truck!The rampted agitator!!But alas-the swap shops here have never heard of Easy.If only WP-KN built their DD washers like Easy!
