more modern portables or twin tubbing on a grand scale

the maytags are hidden behind the haiers

Inside pics

Is it possible to show the inside of the Haier washers. Preferably the larger ones. I've never seen inside of one before.

Pics of the washtubs of the Haier washers

I meant to write could you post some pics of the washtubs of the larger Haier washers.

 

[bpetersxx]

this is the Haier xqb60-91bf

the Haier website says xqb60-91af
but mine is a 91-bf

this is one I fixed by tightening the screws and bolts
on the bottom and sealed the worn spot on the top of the tub with
a 4.00 tube of caulk

Sorry the picture is dark the basement and tub will not cooperate

Looks very industrial.

 

[bpetersxx]

the gray bars on the sides of the tub are the waterfall chambers

Slits at the top shoot the water out

Looks like a three way GE Filter Flo

 

[bpetersxx]

This is an xqj50-31

It has a pulsator shaped like a reg agitator

This one I thought looked and washed similar to Glenn`s

F&P washer

 

[DADoES]

[bpetersxx]

to your liking

 

[bpetersxx]

xqbm22-c

 

[arrrooohhh]

The Haier with the full size aginator looks remarkably like a Simpson agitator!

 

[shanonabc]

[washerman8]

Thanks

Thanks bpetersxx for the pics. I really do appreciate it.

 

[tomturbomatic]

WOW! Thanks. Does the xqb60-91bf wash like a Calypso with the load being thrown around by the thing in the bottom and the water falling on the clothes? My answer is probably in the videos. Cool Collection. I have the little 22 which has a rated capacity of 4.5 lbs. Thanks again

How great is that little Haier!

The agitator and wash action is just like a Simpson, and much more fun than watching a DAA.

Thanks for posting these

That little Haier appears to work very similiar, and have similar mechanicals to my little Whirlpool "portable" washer. Agitation appears to come from reversing the electric motor. The thing I noticed about the Haier versus the Whirlpool is the size and duration of the strokes. The Whirlpool's strokes are about 1/2 second, and about 270 degrees. the Haier appears to make at least 2-3 full rotations of the agitator at 1 second intervals.

Not to knock the little guy, but I know Haier is a Chinese company, and they are known for copying American designs. I imagine the speed and frequency of the agitation were changed in the Haier do avoid a patent infrengement on Whirlpool's design!

 

[bpetersxx]

I ordered parts to get my front loaders going but will be awhile as the parts are backordered

 

[arrrooohhh]

I doubt Whirlpools portable design was the first of its kind.

Hitachi, Hoover and Simpson (In Aus) had medium and small machines that operate like the Haier since the mid 80's. By the late 80's the large full size machines were operating the same way too. The impeller machines also operate the same way. Before the mid 80s the small impeller machines used the spinning disc similar to Austins GE portable, then changed to the bigger sized impeller reversing about every 2 revolutions.

It would seem that Haier is just merely making a machine that is the typical standard in Asia/Australia. There is a FULL SIZE Haier though that seems to be very much like American designs.

I thought the Whirlpool portable design was called the World Washer, so that they could manufacter or sell similar machines in different parts of the world.
