Has anyone ever seen this automatic washer or had any experience with it? It seems like a saner approach than the bouncing basket. Thank you.

That thing just screams cheap, can’t imagine one lasted long enough for anyone to have any real experience with it, did Consumer Reports ever test it?

Wasn't this the design that Wards used for their TLs in the late 50s? Fiberglass tub and separate aluminum agitator? They were ride-or-die Westinghouse, but not everyone wanted a FL.
I guess this was the first major appliance company for what was to become WCI. Several years before they bought Gibson, Kelvinator, Hamilton, Westinghouse, and Frigidaire.
Down the AW memory hole, there are a couple of threads about these washers --

Very Cool! A brand I've only heard about from the side panel of an old box of Tide. These Marquettes look like the Great-Grandmamas and Granddaddies of most of the machines we admire. A fiberglass tub in the Forties?!? And from Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis? Wait a minute...

Found this on ebay and could’t resist buying it. Appears to be a late ‘40s early ‘50s mailer advertising special sale items (inside is a mattress for $34 and a lawn mower for $64!). No date on the ad; wonder who manufactured the fabulous “Wardomatic” washer and dryer? Obviously before...
