I think the older belt drive Kenmores did a fantastic job, as long as you dont overload them and dont go wild with the detergent, they wash well and rinse very well. | ||

I second that, plus! A Norge will outclean about anything,but also will wear out your clothes because it is so agressive,as for new stuff, Speed Queen,no contest! | ||

I really liked the old Easy machines with the spiralator action. I wish that I could get one of these again. I also liked the solid-tub Fridgidare machines as well. I guess that I'm a solid tub junkie. Bob | ||

If we are talking about earlier machines...
Robert, does the GE AW-6 extract as well or better than the Frigidaires?
Yes the GE AW6 extracts more water because it has a nine minute final spin as opposed to the 3 and 4 minute final spins. Personally I would not rate Frigidaire as getting the cleanest clothes as it was more gentle. It does a good job, but not the best. Norge and Whirlpool family of machines should most likely take that title but with the cleaning ability comes aggressiveness which makes clothes wear slightly faster. Where Frigidaire excelled was in its rinsing and water extraction ability. As said above really any washer used properly will get clothes clean, you just have to learn how to properly use each machine and with each machine comes a different way to properly use it. | ||

Another Norge Person Here....
....the clunking and banging Norges, Magic Chefs, Admirals, Wards family didn't seem to last very long, but they did clean VERY well.
I agree with Robert about the GM Frigidaires; quite good washing, but not the cleanest. Our old Rollermatic was outdone by the Kenmore Super Roto-Swirl, and the short-lived Monkey Norge. | ||
