Well built in 2003 and used once, but still who knew?

@Launderess

Seen one exactly like it here on Kijiji but was labeled a Danby, I wonder if both are under the whirpool manufacturer ?

They don't say what happened the one time it was used or why it was only used once. It might administer shock therapy.

Something about it looks like it is made in China. The wringer looks like an arm mangler, hair puller and breast bruiser.

My Guess Is Whomever Purchased The Thing

Quickly found out how much work a wringer washer is for laundry day and moved on to an automatic. *LOL*

It is a very attractive looking washer. I like the levers. The wringer looks a bit on the, small side. It looks like it would have a hard time with blankets or a bathrobe.

Do wonder who makes them or made them? This is the Danby

Lawyers might love this machine...

Is there any wringer available on the market in North America or Europe?

This wringer has a GE 6 Vane agitator and the fastest SPM for a wringer washer!
My Machine needs tranny fluid.

The starting bid should be $125-$150 otherwise over priced!

Wringer In North American

No, not unless you count the Saudi Arabia built "SQ" sold by Lehman's.

A few places (again such as Lehman's) also sell reconditioned wringer units with Maytag being the most common. Other than that you must take your chances at eBay, estate sales, Craigslist, and countless other advertisments.

Like ironers there are still quite a few wringer washing machines out there in very good to excellent condition.

Very Interesting

I wish I could buy a brand new unit.

Of course those aren't so easy and they aren't safe if they're compared to a modern washer but they're charming.

Safety Is As Safety Does

Will tend to agree with your comments in that on balance wringer washers (mainly the mangle portion) aren't the most safe appliances on earth. Have read online posts of some who remember their mothers upon getting their first fully automatic washing machine took the wringer out into the yard and hacked it to bits. When asked why they replied so it was that no other woman had to go deal with that machine again.

Regarding the Lehman's wringer; found it odd in the comments/directions that heavy blankets and or quilts cannot go though their mangle. Yet one seems to remember many persons using vintage units that could handle such things with ease.

Danby is made by Danby Corporation...Like Sunbeam Fridges sold in Canada are made by Danby and so was the Crosley Wringer.

you can check these out

Nostalgia is good up to a point.

I enjoy vintage stuff. I am contemplating putting a 1950s stove in my kitchen, for example.

But...but...but....

The lifestyle of the 1950s worked because someone worked at home, all day, every day. While my wife is at home every day, her disability makes some things absolutely impossible for her.

I love the current time because we have choice, we can use the latest in technology in places where it seems appropriate (I did a cotton sheet laundry at 90C yesterday, for example, and it was 'set it and forget it'), and use nostalgia where we wish.

I wouldn't mind playing with some of these things, though.
