I love these machines because they don't take you through all the load sensing, pauses and not giving enough water to wash the clothes clean

don't be sorry about the sound duke it is very relaxing to a "washer freak" like me, it is very relaxing listening to a machine washing it will put you to sleep. I love it.

kelly savage I thought I was a washer freak. I use to sit against the washer and listen as it washed. My grandmother had a Hotpoint Harvest Gold washer and dryer. Loved them both.

I used to get called washing machine freak a lot growing up too

Ahh the simplicity of push buttons. These washers outlast new ins and are a ton easier to use because you don't have to push 5000 buttons on a touchscreen to get a cold wash. Take really good care of this machine.

These were the best washing machines ever bring them back i miss them

That is really washing those clothes. It is truly a mark of pride.

Love those swishing and splashing noises!

Such a nice vintage machine there, take good care of it

They also had a line of “masculine” washers - the Man’s Kenmore. Powered by a Briggs and Stratton twin cylinder engine and featured no drum suspension at all for its rough-cut stone-lined 1/4” thick steel drum, and the spin cycle was somewhere around 1200 RPM, so it required a special reinforced concrete foundation that was to be anchored to bedrock. The washer came in black, puke green, and blood red. This washer was accompanied by an oil-fired dryer that had an “incinerate” feature for quick, and easy disposal of clothing when the need arose. They only lasted a week on the market before being recalled and the entire line discontinued.

Love the color, it would match our harvest gold bathroom

WOW!! I would love to see this thing in person.

I remember looking at those in the store. I didn't need a washer than. I always loked that model. Nice machiene.

Great grandma had a push button washing machine

@bestcleaningwasher its a really neat system very vigorous .

Hi Duke AWESOME video, I love the PUSHBUTTON Lady Kenmore with the VARI FLEX agitator. It turned the towels many times as it swished and sloshed them from side to side. The rollover is really great even with the amount of water you used. Question, did you use a different size BELT or PULLEY, because the agitation stroke and the spin is faster than the usual 68 OPM and 515 RPM? You made this video almost 11 years ago, Is the LADY still working?

I think that's a veriflex agitator you can make it even more vigorous if you wanted to just lift up on it and move to the certain number or whatever it is Mark whatever

@tvtimetravel i forgot to replace the retainers on the white tub ring

I saw a drier just like this, but white on the side of the road about two months ago. Its too bad I didn't have a truck to grab it... It sounds like it runs nice.

I bet this still worked better than and will outlast my four year old Maytag.

Cool machine

ALL direct drive machines last and last. 🎉

Wish I could find one of those. We had one and my wife wanted a front loader. We are both sorry.

Funny how they hid the slow handwash speed as "Custom Care" --this was a 3 speed washer

I have a washer just like this one. Any idea where to get a new drive belt for it??

Nostalgia :P

@ShitFromShinolla yes it is but we don't care it where you cant see it from street with cars in driveway and our neighbors have only one window facing our house. only reason its there though is it was leaking when i first got it and im not letting some leaky washer in my house.

How come the pump went slow while filling up to the tub to get ready to wash?
