Can't refuse Drew, brothers please fill in.
Unimatics
One mechanism; hence, Uni, very smart engineering
looks like some sort of spacecraft
Motor, then pump, then post
spins @ 1140 aka really really fast
up and down agitator
unique and unusual, regarded as one of the best washers ever made. Top rated by Consnoozers Perorts for years.
Challenging to repair
Once you have one you don't want to be without it
Multimatics
Belts and pulleys
Spins at 910, still really fast
newer and more sounds, esp. during spin.
Pump starts immediately, no waiting for wind-up
gorgeous consoles and stlying
Really hard to work on
Some think Multi's are more fun and luxurious
Rollermatic.
No belts or pulleys, the salesman said way beck then; it works on rollers.
I've not yet learned how these work. Maybe Rollermatic will whip off a few paragraphs.
The pulsamatics were cheaper than the unimatics, but were sold concurrently with them after the WO's.
Like a Unimatic on speed, the pulsation is so fast it seems sometimes to be standing still, but the spin is slow because the design requires it to wash and spin at 660 stokes and rpms respectively.
This'll get ya started till the masters chime in. Glad to help.
I asked Gordon the other day if he was going to move on to Frigidaires, but he said probably not. Wouldn't that be fun if he did?
