Are you referring to the best machine in the club or our favorite machines in our collections? Well, for the best machine in the club, I'd definitely vote Robert's '47 GE AW6. Although Roger's, Jon's, & Greg's Blackstones come in a close second.
As for the best machine in each of our individual collections; I'm not sure which one I'd pick. Would be a tough decision between the Frigidaire WO-65-2 and Maytag 101P for me...

You can't pick just one...
There's no voting needed, every washer in all of our collections (be it one or fifty) is special, no matter the age, condition, brand, etc. If the owner loves it, that's all that matters. There are really no "best" machines.

By best,I mean favorite of the group's
This is almost like voting which of your children you like best....(it's me, right, Mom?)
But if push comes to shove, I'm a sucker for the 1958 Frigidaires in UniRobert's collection. That and any old-school Kelvinator/ABC-O-Matic. And those beautiful 1958 Kenmores someone in the group recently acquired....
OK, OK, the 1958 Frigidaires!!

I am proud of all the machines we have, here or in spirit. The best is that we have each other to share our experiences and love for machines.!

Now QC no need for bitchiness
In all honesty, I ain't able to pick a favorite.
How could one choose between Jetcones recent Westinghouses,
or filterflos or the Blackstones or lightedcontrols 58
Kenmores or any of the combos. Like Judy said one time,
"We'll stay up all night!; We'll sing 'em all!!

I happen to like the old slab sided Bendix bolt-downs. Uni's is nice but if I'm not mistaken, it's not fully restored. Or is it?
Anyway, I agree, let's not vote on which one is best. It stands a very good chance of ending badly.
Rather, let's just express what it is that we personally like, and leave it at that. Judge not!

Hi Rich, my 1941 Bendix is fully resotred mechanically and is bolted to my basement floor. I use it quite often for bathroom rugs and other items like that. It probably could use a paint job, but I sort of like it's "patina".
I agree, everyone's favorite is going to be different anyway so its silly to try and choose one.

I strongly like
for vintage machines, any 2 speed center dial Maytag, even the standard capacity 20-6-7-8,
And I am really now very fond of the Frigidaires from 1965 and on (Rollermatics?) and the 1-18's.
Every vintage automatic has its charm, however.

Robert,
Of course I should have realized that you'd not allow anything as cool as the '41 Bendix to languish in your collection without a thorough mechanical restoration. I have fond memories of Mom's, even though I was kept about five feet away from it at all times...

Hmmm, heres the pic
Ooooooooo...the sink-washer. I'd forgotten all about it. It certainly ranks up near the very top in the Uniqueness category.
The thought of one rinsing raw chicken parts in the sink while a load of whites churned away inside is kind of mindboggling, isn't it?

Now that tops everything
I thought the Italian Stove/Dishwasher/Refrigerator topped everything (Candy, 1980's). But this has everything...even a V12. Gosh, I only thought Jags had those. Beautiful...more pictures, pretty please? (And how does the drain work????)
Wow!
Oh, my favorite...there are too many wonderful machines out there to have a single favorite. The sound of a Unimatic, the simple lines of a classic Maytag, the mechanical "timer" on an early Blackstone. How to chose? You can't.

I can't even remember which is which but like a magpie I'm drawn to shiny or colorful baubles, buttons, sliders etc. That GE sink/washer is so neat. Then there was that one that had the horizontal cycle guide that moved across, that was cool. Marks latest with the pop up guides was too. Then too the dispensomat model.
What, no toaster?
It's all good.
