I actually meant The Koblenz washer
But I do appreciate you sharing the Australian direct drive washer

So why exactly are Direct Drive machines no longer made?

Oh, Indeed I was doubting what you were referring to, but as you did not say say anything to Louis then I assumed you meant a DD.
Anyway, these kind of washers called "round washers" are common in Mexico, they got rid of the wringer as most people now use a spinner instead, as said over there Easy twin tubs were-are very famous too .
Anyway it appears that even Walmart in Mexico have them and cost is about 3500pesos which is around 175 USD..

If these Koblenz washers
are so easily used and liked why don't they attach a spin dryer to the side like the old Easy twin tub would make life easier surely?

I can imagine an idea where the spinner is designed
Where it can partially attach to the round washer, I wish I knew someone in Mexico who would help me try and get one sent here to Australia, I could probably even attach a pump onto it so that way it can drain the water as well

Guessing:
The concept is to have a washer that just wash.
Guess that whoever gets them is someone already owning a separate spinner.
I also guess some are attracted to the idea of saving on hot water and detergent for more loads so maybe they do have an automatic that just use to rinse and spin.
The people in the video do have a spinner for example you can spot a big self pumping spinner on the left.
There are always twin tubs for that matter and if someone had to spend more money guess would end buying an automatic all at once...
Said this, there is still a pretty flourish market of Easy TT's down in Mexico both for parts and refurbished machines because people as I said liked them very much

I guess you can't have everything. Koblenz makes twin tubs, but they don't come with agitators but with pulsators.

I wonder why they only
Come with pulsators is instead of agitators because you would get more washing action with an agitator than you would with a pulsator right?

Pulsator TT's
Because they probably have them made in China imported and branded. Like 99% of TT's today available on market.
At best they are assembled but made with chinese parts and designs.
And for some reasons Asia is pulsator country instead of Agitators.
I also am not a fan of pulsators.
There were twin tubs sold recently in America with an agitator.
I recall Danby TT's, folks at Danby probably specifically requested a twin tub with an agitator to satisfy Americans, so what they did in the factory was simply replacing a pulsator and put an agitator. And put shorter back and forth but that still is too long and just not a proper back and forth like Koblenz
With those long strokes what you get a lot is clothes wrapping up on the agitator and flush around like that.
Had they the agitation of a Koblenz it'd have been a better machine IMO.
Same is for portable Danby agitator top loaders, I think that with the agitator they of course do better than with a pulsator, but if they had a shorter stroke it would have been excellent.
Besides, they are not total junk but they could be a lot better.
Looks like current Danby now have pulsators IIRC
