More water and smaller load the clothes should really roll over in the water . Fab machine

These must have been a godsend to the 50's homemaker. It's a beautiful machine.

It's amazing that machine still works! I would love to be able to wash my laundry in an older washing machine. The quality back then was made to last.

My grandma in Ireland had one of these in the 1960s....when I was a little boy I got in trouble when she caught me putting earthworms through the wringer lol

Up until the early 2000`s there was a very similar model still in use in the laundry I had access to. There were a separate spinner for it and it didn`t have the wringer like yours have. It was mostly a spare machine in a corner not used as often. It did a strangely good job compared to the fully automatic models that finished the job much faster. I think it was the long soaking time that made the difference. I filled it with cold water, let the agitator run for a bit (it was on a timer knob 3 - 15 mintues) and let the water heat up until it reached desired temperature. It did a 40C wash reasonably fast, but a full tub of 60C or 95C took a while. You had to turn on the agitator once or twice during the wash. It had manual filling and draining with a turn of a knob. It wasn`t a lot of work, but it wasn`t fully automatic and required a bit more attention. The tub took quite a big load and did as mentioned a very good job.

I love old fashion washer, they are simple and do the job,l hope you keep this washer the long you can,they don't make them anymore 👍

What a fantastic machine. To bad they're not available any longer.

Fabulous! I am jealous you have this. What a great machine !

Need more water so the laundry can have room for turn over and more water would mean less splash.

Great machine you have there. I still use a 1980s hotpoint twinny weekly, asci have very low cold water pressure modern automatics won't work . But yours is even faster because wringing is quicker than spinning . 👍

WRINGER MAY BE QUICKER BUT SPINNING IS MUCH MORE EFICIENT.MOST PEOPLE BOUGHT A SPIN DRYER TO GO WITH THIS KIND OF MACHINE

What a beautiful machine love it

WOW, they were so economical with water if you started with hot whites and used the same water for colours as it got cooler. Brings back a few memories, my Gran had one until the mid 70s. She got rid of it after my arm got stuck in the wringer when i was helping, still got the scars.

great and beautiful machine . thanks .

So cool

so awesome! 🥰

Better to add the washing powder/pod whatever and dissolve it fully in the water before putting in the clothes to be washed

Hermosa lavadora de las buenas saludos desde Chile

Very nice machine, think you should add more water for rinsing. 🙂

For a better wash, I think you could also leave the pump on to have it kinda like a recirculation pump, ifyou get what I mean.

Wonderful machine, but you need to add more water so that you get what is called "rollover", which is the circulating of the fabrics from top to bottom; you will find that the machine will work much better, there will be less strain on the transmission of the agitator, and your fabrics will get cleaner. Also the use of more water allows for there to be less friction between the fabrics and agitator, and reducing wear on the fabrics.

Think, other people would probably love to see your collection. Don’t let your shyness hold you back. Just stumbled to this video interested how things worked before my time.

This may not have all the bells and whistles like a modern machine has but more than makes up for it in terms of the power of the agitator and that’s why top loaders were popular in the US from the late 1940’s onward since you would wash a fairly large load of laundry in 30 minutes time and were spun out fairly well. The most popular top loading machines after the post war period were the Whirlpool/Kenmore belt drive washers since Sears’ owned a majority of Whirlpool’s stock. Kenmore appliances sold in huge numbers since they were cheaper than everything else on the market and payment plans through Sears’ credit allowed you to own a Kenmore automatic laundry pair or any Kenmore appliance at a reasonable price. While Kenmore appliances were good since they were made by Whirlpool, the Whirlpool counterparts weren’t quite as flashy and had their own features such as the Surgilator agitator and 2 speed feature on their dryers in the early 60’s.

Don’t recall if you addressed the water heat element operation but does it remain on continuously or.is there a switch?

I did mention it at 6:26. It’s the chrome switch on the front of the machine. I prefer hot tap water for the amount of water there is

Great to see, but the point of the bi directional writer it to make rinsing easier. Out machine into sink. Out sink onto top of machine.

I used to want to buy this machine

What's weird is how different washing machines can be from decade to decade, country to country. And honestly, even this would be better than the water saving crap they force us to use today.

Hello sir..does that wringer system work as well as a modern day spin cycle in a washing machine?

No it doesn’t, clothes take a lot longer to dry after using the wringer compared to a spin cycle on a modern washing machine

​@Woodie53 the trouble is that, over the years, the rubber disintegrates to some extent.

They made things to last in those days. If you soak the laundry overnight, you can just wash in cold water to save electricity.

Wouldn't that ringer thing ruin some clothes? Or does it have some give?

@Woodie53

Жыл бұрын

They are spring loaded, if you put a jumper through for example the rollers open up but still apply slot of force to squeeze the water out

Another agitator design is needed.

Did you actually use any detergent? Amazing condition for its age, but I would prefer a twin tub myself, as you can wash and spin at the same time. The wringer will never remove as much water as a spinner neither.

@Woodie53

Yes I use liquid pods which were the blue things I put in after my initial rinse. I don’t use powder as it will clog up the machine overtime. Twin tubs are better but this was a bargain that I couldn’t say no to and I love it.

but why didn't you put soap on it?

filthy rinse water, 2nd rinse needed. Or you could have rinsed down with fresh water and drain again b4 wringing.

Detergent should have gone in first then put clothes in with agitator going which pulls the clothes under.

Agreed if a washer is overloaded it causes a strain on the motor, you have to have a good roll over to get clean clothes

You need more water and more than one pod to properly clean your clothes.

They are my doggy towels, they just get used when my dog jumps in a ditch full of water… they don’t need to be spotless. Normal clothes wouldn’t be that dirty to start with and they’d get an extra rinse if needed.

I miss my old twin tub clothes were much cleaner and only had to do the washing once a week

Its ok. But that would get boring to watch fast.

Your just dragging the laundry side to side, you must understand the term roll over, i and a man 61 years old, come on man more water to the line level and remove some bit of laundry from the tub

To many towels for so little water

pas économique en eau déjà électricité je doute aussi !! rinçage bien moins efficace, attention les allergies aux détergents .
