Anthony Great video. The machine is quiet and washes well. Your choice of music so fits that era of the time. If you do another one, I would love to see how you turn it on and how the wringer is turned on too. Great show. I have several wringer machines but have never made a video using them. Gary | ||

Over the top It hadn't occured to me that the water level would be over the top of the agitator. After looking at it initially it didn't seem as if enough water current would be generated by the base of the agitator to turn the load. Great video. | ||

I am a home health care RN and I go into some really rural and poor areas. I was recently in a home that had both a wringer and and modern washer. The patients wife was using the wringer that day! We started talking about it (I usually find something to make small talk about when I go into a home, it puts the patient more at ease). The lady told me she NEVER uses her automatic machine. "It is nothing but a piece of junk" is how she referred to it. Amazingly she told me the timer didn't work on the machine so she just turned it on and let it wash an hour or so. She was telling me how clean everything comes out. I was really thinking about how rough that would be on clothing to be washed for an hour or so. However, the family was not wealthy and was still wearing very dated clothes. Other than being from the 70s and 80s I was amazed to see the clothes they had on were in good condition. She had her sheets on the line outside. I could see they were not full of holes etc. I have read that heat, agitation, detergent, and time is what cleans clothes. She must have it down pat.

I'm glad everyone was pleased! It was fun to make and I tried to incorporate the aspects that I would have wanted to see. 1) Agitator not in motion in clear water first. 2) Agitator in motion to view the current it creates. 3) Agitation with towels without soap as to better view the wash action. 4) Addition of soap! "Was that enough soap Anthony?!" haha!
Gansky1- Yes this is an Apex re-badge for Montgomery Wards. Mixfinder- I know exactly what you mean, when this washer is filled with a full load, it looses the roll-over and just drags the clothes back and forth. I would say the agitator would work better if the vane design was flipped the other way around with the larger portion at the bottom. But it does kick up a bit of a current. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it! I'll have to make a video of my Easy Wringer next. | ||

I love how aggressive the agitator is, it just grabs the towels. Can you imagine being a little kid, up on a chair feeding this machine? If you didn't let go quick, you would be dragged to the bottom of the tub. Great washer colour and the wringer rolls, look like they are brand new? I like the way the water churns above the agitator and yet, never splashes. Great video.

rpms-
Haha, this machine DOES splash a whole lot if the water isn't at or a little above the water line! Before we recorded, my camera guy and I had a practice walk through and when I plugged it in, apparently the agitator was engaged and it started splashing all over! It looked like a skit out of Laurel & Hardy... HAHA This agitator with its almost "Butterfly wing" design will grab hold of and article of clothing and flip it around a little before it lets go in order to pick on or bully a different article.. lol

Usually I cringe when someone adds music to their video. Usually because some of the music used is that heavy metal stuff boosted to speaker splitting volumes! But the music you added, at just the right volume added a lot of value to your very nicely photographed video. It was like a time machine! I wish more were like yours! | ||

whirlcool-
Thank you, that was very nice of you to say. In selecting the song, I wanted to go with something that was BRIGHT and PEPPY, and had that "Watch how it's done" sound to it. My favorite part of the song is at 0:55. Overall, I have a great love and appreciation for the late 1920's and early 30's, this, and early film, was an influenced for me in my video. I'm glad everyone is enjoying it.

Very, very cool washer. The video is too cool, I expected a flapper to come walking through with her "unmentionables" for you to launder at any moment. To use the vernacular, it's the cat's pajamas! | ||
