Ah, I'd like to know if my Brastemp 24 inch have the same wash tub size compared with Whirlpool/Kenmore.

Does anyone know the diameter of the Whirlpool/Kenmore BD wash tub? (standard capacity) Lol!

Awesome video Rodrigo, and thanks for sharing. I've watched the other video of this washer several times. Great footage.

As far as the tub size I cannot give any definite answer, but I would guess that the tub size in the 24 inch Brastemps would match the size of those in 24 inch Kenmores/Whirlpools.

Have a good one,
James

Rodrigo it is good seeing you post again, when i first came on
the site you where one of the guy's here who i looked at in the collections area a learned about the brands that are in your country.
Brastemp was one of them who would of thought it was whirlpool's mechanics inside love the multi-colored panel model
with the straight vane agiator that i grew up with the first one lol...i was scolded when i throw a navy blue cap in my mothers white wash with bleach in it turned the whole load
extremly blue lol she still tell's that story today.
Nice video of the surgelator and i like your Roto-Flex as well.
I beleave the 24 inch models still has the same standerd tub
as 27 inch standerd tub belt drives models in America.

Smaller Capacity

I really do think the smaller capacity machines clean better than their larger brothers and sisters.

Thanks for posting.

Great Video! I could watch and listen to belt drive Whirlpool and Kenmore washers all day long!

Rodrigo,

I've never seen a Brastemp machine in person, but based on everything you have in your collection, I would guess that your models are more or less equivalent to the 24-inch machines we had, just like James said above.

Sears stated in operator's manuals of the 1960s that the maximum fill on a 24-inch washer was 17 gallons, and on the 29-inch counterparts it was 18, or only 1 gallon more. The basket diameter in the U.S. was only an inch or so less. Interestingly, at some point in the late 1970s, the full-fill amount on 29-inch standard washers was decreased by one gallon, probably to help with the new energy guide ratings that had come on the market, so they used the same amount of water as a 24-inch.

Sears never offered the Roto-Swirl in the 24-inch machines, at least not that I am aware of, and all machines seemed to have one of the two Straight-Vanes or later a standard-capacity version of the Dual-Action. These both have narrower skirts than some of the other agitators that were offered. There were some obscure high-end 24-inch models that I've never really seen which may be exceptions to what I said, but with only 1-gallon less water in a 24-inch washer, it would seem like they would hold almost as much as a regular 29-inch machine.

Now that I have some experience with standard capacity machines after so many years of using large cap models, my only observation from a usability standpoint is that large or bulky items such as big bath towels or Levis jeans wash more easily in a large machine, as there is more room for them to thrash and move around. I would think this even more noticeable if comparing a 24-inch washer of slightly smaller diameter.

Hy James, Darren, Malcom, Jim. Thanks for your reply.

I promise a new vid comparing Rotoflex and Surgilator agitator. Two different agitator for the same 60's machine.

Gordon - I knew 1960s Kenmore 29 inches was 18 gallons of water. Exactly the same 68 litres in my old Brastemp.
I think the tub size can be the same.
