My opinion.
Frigidaire WCI-58. What was the equivalent model with a Suds Saver?
Lady Kenmores have as much glamor, but they are more common, like a Cadillac.
How did Frigidaire suds savers work anyway?

Unimatic are more like the rolls royce jed lol
If Philcos are Ford, which they are, wouldn't that make the Unimatic and all it's siblings General Motors? 
I'm gonna get slapped for this, but to me, the roaring Norges from the late 60's and 70's are the Bentley of washers!!! Fabulous action, very very powerful motor (3/4 horsepower!!!), HUGE capacity and of course the fabulous Burpilator!!! Not to mention the safest of all machines featuring that amazing tub brake!!!!

I personally think Frigidaires are like race cars. Loud, fast, complicated, and a little unreliable.
Maytags would fit the qualities of a Bentley. Quiet, smooth, elegant, timeless, with lots of options if it's an 806 (well, maybe the "options" part go to Lady Kenmores).

Jamie you may have a valid point, but all my life I've hated chevys so i just pretend our precious frigidaires aren't made by GM. LOL
Lady K's are the drop every single luxury feature known to man, (and a few that aren't) onto a single cyclinder go kart engine

OOOOOOOO!!! Don't let Bob or Jason hear you Jed!!! You're gonna get SMACKED!!!!! lol
IMO, it's about style, beauty and elegance.
The Maytag 160 wins, hands down.

Based on my limited observation, I think center dial Maytags might be somewhat like an older Mercedes. Styling that is definitely not new, but not dated, and built to last a lifetime. Note: this is all based on hearsay (apart from my view on styling), as I've never owned either a center dial Maytag or a Mercedes.
Having experienced a Lady Kenmore, I'd say that those were probably like Caddilac--features, features, features, yet, deep down, probably really a Chevrolet mechanically.
However, in one way, Kenmore/Whirlpool was like Bentley. I've heard Rolls-Royce went for years using the same old technology. Sort of like how Whirlpool stuck with the belt drive design that, I gather, didn't vary that much over the years.
Since is vintage, I won't go into modern machines...except to say that many would probably qualify as a Yugo. Or worse.

Well ... is that a glamour shot or what, Greg? 
The A700S is pretty nice, too.

How about a brand new Model E?
Or is that more like a scooter than a Bentley?

Kenmore
Kenmore is like the old VW's.
They made MILLIONS of them and were very reliable.
The only thing bad about them was the slow spin. Just get over it and enjoy the wonderful Roto-Swirl action.
And nothing wrong with scooters either. They're very fuel efficient and will get you there just the same.
