What is a Bob-load?

It's a reference to Bob (appnut). To the best of my knowledge a "Bob Load" is simply a very large load of laundry stuffed into a machine. I imagine occasionally folks on here will see just how well a machine can handle a "real life" load or in this case, a bobload. 
Love ya Bob!

As I understand it,
"Bobload" originally referred to a dishwasher that was loaded so tightly that only water could fit inside, yet provide excellent cleaning.
However, the Bob in the second post is the correct Bob.
I could say something about wishing I had a Bob, instead of a Bobload, but I won't.

Hi Tom. Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. Bob (Appnut) is an honored visitor here in Tucson and has come here from his home in Texas twice. He is known for doing large loads of laundry at a time and they are called "bobloads".
The mechanic who fixes all my washers warned me not to do any Bobloads in my machines.

Bob and his loads.
A cautionary note about a good Bobload:
To execute a proper Bobload is an exercise in skill wherein you must become one with your appliance. You must think like your appliance and do whatever it requests so that you may please it. A Bobload is not an overload, overloading will displease your appliance, and it will make you pay consequences for that.
A proper Bobload is a dishwasher or washing machine that is loaded with as much stuff as it can possibly hold and still render clean at the end of the cycle. A Bobload is not only full, its contents are made of such a particular mixture of items of different sizes and charictaristics that they all get clean. The specific contents necessary to comprise a Bobload vary from one machine to the next, and also can vary with the soaps, detergents, and additives used. The water's temperature and mineral content also plays a part in the success of a Bobload.
What seperates a proper Bobload from a full load is that a Bobload has NO margin for error. I don't often wash Bobloads of clothes, for fear of causing accelerated wear on my Maytag A208. I do, however, attempt Bobloads most of the time in my dishwasher.
Be it a Bobload, or a full load, just so long as the results are clean,
Dave

Thank you for that eloquent explanation!
I never really understood the karma of a Bobload!
Its the MAX the ZENITH of laundry, the ACME the PENULTIMATE load!
But it doesn't stress the machine. Interesting< I could get a BOBLOAD into my Gyramatic or my Combos if I did not proceed on to dry.
I always had the impression Bob had - COS Chronic Overload Syndrome with RUSH tendencies!
Thereby COS-R!

Mike---That's a really handsome Maytag washer/dryer pair! The washer looks a bit like an Asko.

I believe that European Maytag front loaders were made by ASKO.

Hi Eugene
These Maytags are made by Asko, had them 5 yrs now, superb machines, and I like the fact that they are very different in looks, and are one of the machines that are used as a semi commercial line by commercial sales etc...
I know Asko have had bad press for faults in the US, but I`m sure the latest generation are much improved and hopefully the service as well...
And the beauty for us here is that unlike Maytag US at the moment, Maytag UK are going from strength to strength as a Premier line Appliance Company...

The Top Three
It seems to me that all new members need to learn at signup, the Top Three references here at AWO:
1. The meaning of Bobload
2. The significance of the number 1140
3. Why NuTone exhaust fans are so awesome.
Perhaps we could publish a little online instruction manual?

Oh Mike
don't you dare put all those in the Maytags!
BTW what is that COOL black agitator ontop that you MUST have been hiding when I was there!
I bet you put it away when I was chewing my mashy peas!

Laundry harlots!
Seems like Asko are quite happy to stick any name on the front of their machines, no doubt as long as the price is right!
I was looking at an 'Imesa' (italian commercial brand) brochure just two days ago, and there I found exactly the same set of 'maytag' machines as Chestermike, but sporting the Imesa logo!
Mind you, their prices are a little reminiscent of 'Pretty Woman', as you pays for your pleasures with them...the washer price is €2,200 and the dryer comes in at €1,600.

Oh lawdy Mike! Let us have a closer look at that rotary ironer!
I agree with you Veg, that's very important to know. Perhaps we can think of a few other things...
