Hi.

I made a video of my A806's full wash cycle here's a link, it's condensed of course but you get a pretty good idea of the cycle.

Not much glamour and flash but a great turn over and effective washing from a machine that will last through many loads! Why can't we have that now? Basically if you want to by a decent mid priced agitator top loader in the U.S. you have a choice between a shredder known as whirlpool or a plastic G.E. with short, fast, fabric damaging strokes. What's that all about? What about that thumpa-thumpa-thumpa sound from the whirlies? Annoying to say the least! Gotta love big corporate America.

Here's the same video sped up about 4x or 5x just for the fun of it.

Very well done!

Love the quicker version - if you can select the speed increase on YouTube, set it about 28% faster and then you'd have a Maytag on a 50hz motor pulley. I have one on my 806 and really love that washer - it's what the large capacity Maytags SHOULD have been like!

very very nice, Liam. i love the Maytag's stately, graceful agitation. and just in case any people new to Maytag were watching, i think the open lid or camera resting on machine was amplifying the spin sounds. machine sounds quieter in person.

Hey Liam

Great video.....ive always been impressed by the simplicity of these long-stroke Maytags and Brett is right...they are very quiet in spin.

Yes it is much quieter in person. The camera wasn't resting on the machine but I used a very powerful stereo mic mounted on top of the camera, this is probably why the spin sounds so loud. It's too bad that YouTube has only mono sound!

A couple of Maytag questions???

The date code after the serial number on my series 2 A806 is YS someone posted that they thought that was august 1976, is that right? Also I am still after a picture of a DE808 dryer, could somebody post one?

Thanks.
Liam
