Westytoploader.???.........

very interesting

I know my machine does not have the "weigh and save" lid but the water level switch is as you described. I found it kind of funny that half a tub of water is what is used for a 4 lb. load of clothing. Somehow that second half of the tub makes up for the extra 14 lbs.!

Oh dios mio!!! CVT!

I had a Westy Front loader w/the dryer stacked on top way back in the late 80's. I remember being SO excited about the Cross Vane Tumbling..thinking it was somthing fabulous. NOT! What a mess of the clothes those things made! My 1/18 has never even come close to a mess like that. Hated, hated, hated that dryer. Thankfully I lived in San Francisco at the time and I had two clotheslines out the kitchen window. Loved the washer though and the silly Weight-to-save door. Oh...the good old days.

Your a True Blue Die Hard Washer Fan!

Not everyone would drive 12 hours to get something like that but I KNOW you would ! And a few others may....Most people really have no idea what a hobby like this entails... The price of Fuel alone is staggering. Then you have to have a place to put them so and and so forth..but eh..im not telling you anything you dont allready know

Wow Awesome set. Very beautiful and uncommon color. Now I understand about the "Weigh To Save". Thank you for the pics.

Just looking at this set and remembering the westy washer we had that was just like this one but also had seperate speed selections and a panel light. This machine replaced the Norge washer that died in 1983 after a decade of use.

Coming from a Norge to this used Westy , the tub was definitely smaller but it washed very well and had an excellent suspension system. Very good machine overall. The 2in1 agitator and weigh to save lid was cool.

Those ramped agitators splashed a lot especially with partial wash loads. Very entertaining wash action. Nice long spray rinse if I remember correctly. They were good machines and quiet. Coming from a Norge anything seems quiet. Lolol

Well, hope that Weigh To Save really does help you use the correct amount of water...

Love "Tiny Load" as well...

I enjoyed seeing, as I hope you'll enjoy using!
