You can find those Easy Whirldrys on eBay once in awhile. I got one that way. It is a fun toy. I believe they were made in the 40's.

From wash to spin!
Push in the little button near the top and lift the tub to the spin level.

Easy made the "wide neck" Spiralator in both bakelite and aluminum. I have seen the aluminum version with a breather hole to prevent pressure building up underneath the agitator and forcing water down the agitator shaft.
Does anyone remember the dismal failure, the Velvapower transmission? Most of these met their demise while still in warranty during the '60's. I think these had the breather to prevent water pumping. The direct drive transmission had nylon gears which softened when water entered the gearbox.
This is strictly from memory, I have not seen one of these in years.

Bingo
So there is a wide neck metal ! Is it white, and does it look like the original POD ad for Easies?
Robert fixed his Easy Automatic Velvapower, but if that is the same transmission in the end of run of the Spindrier, (the last models produced with the agitator and the pump running on the same drive), then I understand exactly why is has problems.
I by-passed the drain faucet substituting a hose which I place on the floor. This allows the pump to stay free of water during agitation which is brisk, but as soon as any water lodges in the pump, the agitation reduces gradually to ultra slow, great for sweaters or fragile stuff or filtering the water. It's a lot of fun, a variable speed Easy with recirculation.
That's why Easy Spins are such a blast. They can imitate any procedure from an automatic, including very low water level washing; and the variety of ways to configure the two swiveling faucets is infinite and so much fun to play with.
