I did these three videos around 2005, they compared five pair of size 31/30 jeans in a 1957 Kenmore Washer with a Whirlpool Surgilator agitator vs. a 1958 Frigidaire washer with a 3-Ring Agitator
Why is it that guys seem to be showing off these old washers than women? Is it because they don't want to spring for a new one for their wives? Just asking.
so grandcarriage and others if your interested in washers go to automaticwasher. org incredible group of people that collect and restore vintage appliances and have members from all over the world.
These machines amaze me. So my question is, how's the vibration of the machine? I would expect with the pumping agitator, you'd really feel it in the floor if it wasn't set on on a concrete pad. And would you know if there's anyplace in the PNW to find these vintage beauties, reconditioned, for sale. I have serious washing machine envy.

That agitator looks like it's f**king!

And with all that fine turnover the action still isn't harsh or hard on delicate fabrics.

A wonderful machine, and the color is green-my favorite! What was the reason for adding the socks-to see the turnover?

The 3 ring definitely has more turnover than the Surgilator but lacks the Surgilators lateral motion. Tough call.

I watch this one over and over, I'm amazed at how well it seems to work. I can't figure out why they don't make these machines today.

Faster rollover than the kenmore. Looks like the Frigidaire is the winner!
