Full Cycle of the Vintage 1955 Frigidaire Unimatic Automatic Washer

Full cycle doing a load of towels in the Unimatic. Sorry, the camera is a little shakey. I need to buy a proper video camera for these. Hope you all enjoy the video.

    That's a great machine. Used to see them used 30 years ago. I'm still seeing them today and that's a true testament to our engineering and industrial culture in this era of machine!

    Wow What A Great Video!!! I just love these vintage Frigidaire washers, These were machines that really knew how to clean clothes well!!! My Mom had the 1965 model with the three ring agitator and I'd give anything to have that machine today!!!

    Beautiful. My neighbor had one on the farm. It was unusual for farm wives to have automatics in the early fifties. My mother claimed that automatics "danced" and didn't get work clothes clean, then she bought a Maytag Highlander but keep the SQ stainless tub conventional for the really dirty stuff from the barnyard. In no time she sold the SQ and the Maytag lasted forever.

    Hey Tyler this is what we all been waiting for the first full wash cycle video of your 1955 Frigidaire Unimatic washing machine. This was a awesome video. I have autism diagnosed when I was 18 months old. When I was a little toddler I have aways been fascinated with washing machines. I would stay in the laundry room the whole time when the washer is running through the cycle some times I hold the lid switch down with my finger to watch the washer operate. I hope you like my little story.

    A very well thought out agitator for sure so simple yet so POWERFUL. The machines of today all come from the orient which says the so called brainiacs over there have very little fresh water resources are trying to create an energy saving machine that missed the boat. We are in America and Canada where water is cheap and plentiful to clean clothes. Thank you but I will keep my 1992 Kenmore top loading triple action agitator that uses WATER YES WATER to clean clothes instead of drops of water and silly dances{ movements in the tub}. My older machine has NO computer boards to screw up just dials what a relief but at my home i bought a samsung front loader set. Mediocre at best washing job and the jury is still out on the longevity of the machine. Yes I have 2 washer/dryer sets and i bet you can guess what gets used the most for cleaning ! Cheers all and have a great day!
