your fave washer of ALL time

[lavamat_jon]

Well a European view here...

My favourite washers of all time are probably square door Hoovers (both my nana and mum had one, nana's from the early 1972 and mum's from 1982, both in service until 1996), pre-Electrolux AEGs (as much as I love my AEG, it doesn't have the charm as the pre-2000 AEGs did), and definitely definitely definitely ANY Miele.

If I had to narrow it down to just the one washer of any vintage, though, I have to admit it will have to be my current Miele (albeit modded to give deep washes and rinses LOL).

my choice will be...

The GE filter-flo. Built sturdy, splashy ramed activator action along with minibasket, the loud clunk, the sound of normal agitation starting up.

in addition

I love the sound of the spin cycle. My favorite speed of all time would the normal/fast speed. It's very dramatic. I like the suspension clanking.

My favorite machines of all time are Maytag, Whirlpool/Kenmore and Frigidaire. Been liking the belt drive Whirlpool and Kenmore machines ever since I acquired my 1963 Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set on 7-25-2020

Revision:  The aforementioned Kelvinator for vintage.  Calypso for modern.

It's ALIIIIIIVE!!!!

After having gone dead over 15 years ago, followed by Dr. Frankenstein himself a year later.   And yet here it is -- so outdated that it appears in a forum where it no longer belongs.

 

The ghost of Dick S. strikes again, compromising the logic and efficiency that inspired our webmaster to create the "Latest Posts" index heading.

1970s Center Dial Maytag

Would be my choice. Large capacity, MOL.

My Aunt & Uncle's 1940's Bendix

Fav classic: 1940's Bendix due to it's obvious (or at least appearance of . . .) raw power! The window is the bomb!

Modern: (Hopefully . . .) The GE Ultrafresh pair, waiting for delivery. Appreciate the attempts designed in to eliminate the dread of front loaders: bad smell.

The Kenmore Tumble Action Washer (44092) pair (84092) have served well (for modern machines) since 2005.
