As the pre-Christmas preparation madness wound down and the new water solenoids in the Westy L5 Laundromat had been replaced, I figured it was time to try washing something other than a few old towels in the Westy. I threw in a load of shirts to test the Westy's "Legendary tangling ability" that gansky1 had told me about... They looked good while washing...

Could have been worse...
Yep, those shirts were tangled up but good. Still, I have seen worse! I very briefly had a Danby 'portable' washer that had an impeller at the bottom of the tub (like a big version of a Hoover's) and that machine tangled the hell out of everything! These shirts came apart pretty easily compared to that Danby machine...

Look it with good eyes! It's much easier to unload the machine. Just grab one item and pull it! You don't even need to use a laundry basket. LOL | ||

Hey paul... the machine looks great ! Hope that you had a good weekend. The Westinghouse older fronts seems to me when observed washing, that the water level is higher and the baffles are softer then some other wash tubs. Higher water levels, even in my modern machines filled high, will TANGLE the clothes especially shirts. And since it only turns in one direction makes it worse. Like to see if other loads work better for you like TOWELS , JEANS , T-SHIRTS , etc. It( See it wash ) looks like robert's load is a mixed load and looks to be doing well. Definitely Fun to watch the machine has terrific wash action with the suds slapping on the clothes LOVE it. P.S. Need some American Detergents lol... Here they are that i had put together from friends shore house we hang out at once a year. I need to make a thread on that. Crazy mix of shore detergents we got. Well i got he he like to try other brands when on vacation. Darren k.

But does laundry that has been tangled get clean? You would think that since the fabric is compressed in a tangle, it wouldn't be as clean as it would be if washed untangled. | ||
