Oh I don't know I'm half nostalgic half glad that this isn't the way we do laundry anymore. Washing and rinsing was the easy part, but getting the cloths wrung out was a nightmare. One thing I do miss is when detergent smelled like detergent and not tropical wildflowers or some such chemical-smelly concoction.I grew up in the early 1970's, when automatics were already the rule of the day, but we were poor,so Dad kept the old machine going. My grandma still boiled her whites in a shed out back.
@CossacksChampion No better, no worse than an automatic top loader. As long as you don't overstuff the machine and use enough detergent. As for this machine, its fine as a toy. But I can't see wasting time playing with the clothes when an automatic does it all by itself. While its working, I can do other chores around the house.
I've seen all kinds of videos where they talk about the wonderful roll over of the new machines of today. Well these wringer models don't snore. They're every bit as good. Better than some of the new designs.
i ireland ,everybody hangs their laundry out on the clothes line.there is nothing as fresh as clean clothes dried out doors,and we only tend to use dryers if we are in a hurry,or if it rains and winter time!..i dont use fabric softner either,it makes the clothes feel greasy or something...un naturaly soft i think..nice video by the way!
the clothes dryer is a typical american "convienience" thing. In Europe Clothes lines are normal. Dryers waste energy for something the nature does for you for free. In some housing estates it is forbidden to hang your clothes out for drying, because some people could think this migt be a poor neigbourhood. just silly if I buy a house, it should be my natural right to dry clothes in the garden.
@Muhlineks In the US, we make a lot more laundry because we change more often. Europeans, not so much. While its true some areas restrict hanging clothes outside, but as a working person, I just don't have the time to hang clothes and then pull them in. I wash six to eight bath towels, assorted hand towels and wash cloths in my High Efficiency washer, 40 minutes, then dry them another 40 minutes, and I'm done.
I don't think we change clothes less often...Clothes take few hours on the line on a sunny day even less. Is this the old prejudice europeans are not so ambitios on hygiene? It's more about saving energy, which is more expensive in Europe an enviromental saving.
@Muhlineks Only speaking from personal experience as recently as summer of 2010 and the European tourists who visit the Wall St. area where I work. As for dryers, I live in northern NJ. We use relatively inexpensive natural gas dryers for most of the year because because of the weather. One can't line dry clothes when its minus 10 or 20 C. outside. My family of six makes too much dirty laundry to waste time on line drying most things. However, I do line dry some things, like dress shirts.
@Muhlineks Your rights are your own. However, if you buy a house or apartment in any given area, it is your responsibility to make sure you understand and agree with all the rules and regulations associated. Once you've purchased a dwelling, it is assumed you agree with all the rules.
A truly clean set of sheets. I remember those days when my Mom washed sheets in the very same machine and they hung outside in the sun all day long. They smelled much better than those that are baked in a machine now a days.
Thanks for reminding me of a great childhood memory..
@vacuzman i remember when we lived in Pattonville Texas,from 1963-1965,and we had 1 of these washers,i remember playing all day in the summer time,and getting a bath in 1 of those galvanized tubes and the smell of ivory soap bar,then crawling in between those crisp starched sheets that had been washed in a wringer washer,talk about a good nights sleep,any1 know what i mean?can i get a thumbs up?

Great rollover, even though they have small agis in these things, they do pull everything under.

@themaytagrepairman Spoken like someone who doesn't do their own laundry. Speaking for myself, I'm too busy to mess with ancient appliances.

There is no way I could load my Whirlpool like that without chewing something up. Great video, brings back memories.
