My favorite Continental, Girbau Pro series on premise laundry washer-extractor. Absolutely the best built cabinet-soft mount WE (or any washer for that matter) I have ever seen. Used them washing commercial entry mats and they took the beating, laughed at me and asked for more. These machines are more battle tank than washer-extractor. Every part is made to very robust and precise standards. The 125# capacity SQ branded machines I washed mats in came to us used after a 10 year stint @ Stillwater prison(inmate population around 1600). Not sure what the machines did to get sentenced there LOL. They were still like new after 10 years of being run my some of MN's worst convicts. Here is a video of one washing mats as well as an overview of the laundry shop. WK78 CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlykenmore78's LINK | ||

WOW... THAT is a GIANT washer by SQ. It is a VERY large commercial front load washer if you see the video. | ||

I'll admit it. I'm a fool for Maytag's My favorites are the 142, the 700, and the 702. I know they're not the largest capacity but I don't care about that. The things that appeal to me are the understated and elegant simplicity of the cabinet design, the ease of maintenance, the robustness of the helical drive mechanism, and the ongoing availability of parts. A little patience and diligent searching will turn up just about anything one needs to keep one of these machines going. The picture below of my YA700 was taken while I was in the midst of rubbing out the paint to bring the color and gloss back. I would move the tape down the side and work the area directly above it. As you can see the paint had faded to an off white color.

For me--- Any two speed center dial Maytag! Even the "standard" capacity models. My current Maytag, a large capacity Dependable Care is sometimes way too large for someone who lives alone. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

So many...
to choose from! 1-18's and late 60's to late 70's Norge Burpilators are fun, loud, aggressive washers. But at their age, hard to find parts and difficult to keep running. Maytag's just bore me, sorry, and the 606 dryers are tiny. Belt-drive WP/KM are damn good, easy to repair and source parts, and do a fine washing job, and came in every size and option level imaginable. But lately, my favorite brand is becoming GE. I have 2 35 yr old Filter Flo's, both easily brought back to life, easy to find parts, great turnover and filtering and rinsing, and other FF models had everything from none to tons of options, versatile machines. I also have a 56 GE fridge in the kitchen, a 66 Mobile maid(spray arm) running well and a 56 Mobile Maid(impeller) soon fully restored, a 66 gas GE dryer and a Hotpoint(GE) 1992, both fine machines.
So the simple answer is GE Filter Flo's, sorry if I typed too much. And the water heater in the basement is GE! So is the extra "Thanksgiving only" electric stove from 68 and the spare apartment sized fridge, both of which were great with the holiday just passed. | ||

Most of the time, I only want clean clothes and linens from my washer, and only rarely want any entertainment. Sometimes I do want some entertainment, and for that, I either go to friends' laundry rooms, or the coin-op, for window viewing action. Just my dos centavos. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Now that I have clean clothes again I'm thinking of my next purchase. I want no electronics, a second rinse option, a warm rinse option, and the same lint filter I have in the A710.A906 doesn't have an automatic 2nd rinse option, although it does have a Rinse(-and-spin) selection that can be run manually. | ||

My Kenmore (circa. 1990's) & most of all the Wash & Wear (Fast Agitation, Slow Spin) which hardly gets used...
(And needed a new shaft, once when doing a load that it quit during, luckily when it only needed to spin for its Rinse, which the pump luckily had drained all the water out of the tub, hence I took the clothese it was doing to my dad's to finish the Extraction-Spin, then dry in his dryer, borrowing his washer until I could finally arrange for the simple repair (and cheap at only $187)...) -- Dave | ||

1000 rpm square door Bendix? See, now, I could swear my sister's square door Bendix of this style was a 1000rpm machine, and was called something like Autowasher 1000 Deluxe. Alas, I have no proof and I was about 7 when it was replaced, so I can't be sure... | ||

well that's different... I never heard of a 1,000 RPM Bendix washer with square door. But, I use my new Maytag twin tub washer every day or two. I love the fact that it spins 2,000 RPM and the wash is only 5 minutes. It really fits ANYWHERE. | ||

maytag GA208...
i had & loved my lil' hoover 0510 twin tub, for sentimental reasons, but i couldn't stand that it tangled up my clothes into a balled up mess. so after i put a new drain pump, new belts & new hoses on it, i gave it to my aunt to use in her apartment. and i bought myself a full sized automatic vintage maytag A208 in a dark yellow/gold color.
now i love my maytag A208 for the way that it looks with it's center dial, diamond-looking control knob. i love the flexibility of choosing the water temps, load size, washing time, and most of all the choice of either "normal" or "gentle" agitation speed. but there are 2 things that i don't like about it; 1. when i have the agitation speed set to normal, when the washer starts to drain, the water overflows out of the house's drain pipe. 2. would have to be the tub size. i wish i would have gotten the bigger tubbed (extra large load) maytag with the same choice options as my A208. but other than that, i really LOVE my maytag GA208. | ||

DIFFERENT... That is pretty cool, but I got a Maytag TT that goes 2,000 RPM, getting them twice as dry. I can always understand, that drying jeans always takes forever, so you need a washer that goes 1000 RPM. Also, is Bendix still in business or not? | ||

Solving drain problem Your drain might have a clog, so you might need to pour drain cleaner to solve that problem. | ||

solving drain problem....
the drain hose on my vintage maytag is wider/bigger than the drain hose on my mom's newer whirlpool. the whirlpool doesn't make the drain pipe overflow when draining it's water.
the solution: we're going to install a utility/laundry sink so that both washers can drain into the sink & the sink can drain at it's own speed. this way, i don't have to keep an ear out, to listen for my maytag to start draining when it's on "regular" speed agitation. problem solved (hopefully). hm hm hm...... thanks for the drain cleaner suggestion though kitty :o) | ||

I think a sink is the best option, especially in an older house where the drains may not be so fast. I know my Maytag A606 dumps about 18 gallons of water in about 90 seconds.

 My favorite washer is normally whichever one that I covet and don't yet own.
The more I think about it, however, the more I think that my all-time favorite washer was the solid tub 1960 BOL Filter-Flo that we had in a beach house in Old Saybrook, CT. And that's because, by some unbelievable fluke, not only did my Parents take me to Bombaci's appliance store in Centerbrook in 1964 on the buying trip, but by some even more unbelievable circumstance, they let me pick it out. Fortunately, my only criterion that day was a blue plastic filter-pan, and, as luck would have it, there was a used FF in the store that day and my Mother, the cheap-seat, was more than happy to buy a used machine at a discount. Had I chosen the 1964 TOL WA-1250Y that was in the store with a white filter-pan and a white Mini-Basket, it wouldn't have happened unless it was just me and Dad in the store . I will always have a place in my heart for that little machine. It washed the clothes; that's all it did. No dials lit up, no two speeds, no bells, no whistles, just a beautiful turquoise filter pan that you had to push hard to seat it on the top of the 3 straight-vaned activator with the weird cap. It had one of the first safety switches on the lid, but you could lift the lid more than halfway up before it cut the power. It stopped in the middle of the first spin; I never knew the reason why until it was explained by somebody, probably Tom Turbomatic on this very site.
We never had the dryer; nobody at the beach did, not even the rich family. Everybody's laundry was dried by on-shore breezes from the Long Island Sound. It was as close to Heaven as one could hope for; I will be forever grateful to my Parents for that luxury.
The model numbers are a guess; the Filter-Flo 600 series had about 9 variations. I can't even remember whether it had two wash cycles or one.

hey electronicontrl!!
thanks for adding the picture of the control panel/knobs. i LOVE that colorful background of the control knobs. that is sooo 60's-70's retro/vintage!! it reminds me of them mirrors that i remember seeing in homes of the time. i don't know what you would call it but the mirrors had like gold swirl lines in them. i'm sure somebody knows what kind of mirrors i'm talking about. and i totally like the "optional 2nd rinse" switch. i would definitely have that "on" all the time!!! LOL..... thank you again for posting the picture of the control panel/knobs. very nice!! it made me smile :o) | ||

@ hippiedoll Does your Hoover TT have a spinner that sounds like a jet engine or is it quiet? Some Hoovers are quiet. Like the ones in Europe. (believe so) | ||

hey kitty...
hmmmm.....
it wasn't quiet but i don't think it sounded like a jet engine either??? LOL.... it sounded like; "VVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR". kinda like a canister vacuum cleaner or like that hollow hum of a shop vac. that is how i would describe it, i think? if i still had the twin tub, i would make a video of it and try to post it up so that you could see & hear it for yourself. but i gave it to my aunt, who is in california. and i'm in arizona. but if i had to describe the sound of the spinner, i would say it sounded like a "shop vac's" roar/hum. | ||

brush motor Your Hoover TT probably has a brushed motor instead of a brushless one. The Maytag TT has a brushless motor which is substantially quieter. If you want a quiet one, you'd be best off with a Simplicity TT. | ||

simplicity twintub....
oh i would LOVE a simplicity twin tub. just for the fact that it has the center agitator!!! so that would mean, no more tangled-up clothes. but to find the 2-speed (with the gentle agitation) is very hard!!
and even though i think twin tubs are cuter than heck to have, i'm pretty much over how involved you have to be, in the whole washing process. that is why i went with an automatic, vintage (1978) golden-yellow maytag A208. i'd rather sit on the side-lines & watch the whole washing process, than have to be so involved with it!! although you do have to accept a slower spinning speed with an automatic. :o/ ha ha.... | ||

twintubber....
hey there!!!
OOOOOOH YOU ARE SOOOOO LUCKY to have a simplicity twin tub!!! when i was starting out with twin tubbing, i wanted the hoover (cuz i remember the one that was passed around, in my family, when i was little). but once i seen different brands of twin tub washers, my ultimate dream twin tub machine was the simplicity twin tub, with the hotpoint twin tub coming in at a close 2nd!!! only for the fact that the hotpoint also has an agitator. but being that both those brands of twin tub washers (simplicity & hotpoint) seem are very hard to come by, in the united states, i soon outgrew my twin tub craze. i got the hoover for sentimental reasons, but was tired of dealing with tangled clothes. and plus, i got tired of having so much (hands on) involvement in washing clothes. so, i bought myself a vintage automatic 1978 maytag A208. and for now, i love it for what it is :o) i know you will cherish & take good care of your simplicity, twintubber. i bet it's a blast to do laundry in!!! :o) | ||

From what era are the Simplicity twin tubs? I remember when I was in my teens back in the 70s my mom bought her mom a Simplicity twin tub to replace her wringer washer. My grandparents lived in a very small house and the washing machines was kept in a corner in the porch next to the wood box (they had a huge wood cook stove in the kitchen used for cooking and heating). There was no room for an automatic washer so the twin tub was the next reasonable upgrade from the wringer washer. To use the wringer washer or twin tub my grandmother had to move it to the other side of the room right next to the little room where the toilet was located. The water from the washer was drained into the toilet as there was no laundry tub. After my grandmother went into long term care and the house was to be sold, my sister had a garage sale to sell everything in the house. I would have liked the twin tub but I live 10 hours away and had no way to get it here before someone purchased it.

what era was simplicity twin tub?
hi countryguy/gary!!!
i'm no expert on the simplicity twin tub washers, but if i were to guess an era, i would have to say the 70's. and only because i remember seeing posts of ads from like the early 70's, of the simplicity twin tubs. but, i'm sure that someone who knows for sure when they were from, will chime in & let us know. i'm pretty sure that location also factors into that answer too (i would think??). i'll be checking to0, to see if someone can answer your question... | ||

Wonder if the ('that') Hoover "twin tub" was Best Regardless Of Price in my HOW TO BUY MAJOR HOME APPLAINCES BOOK (by Charles Klamkin; Regnecy Press, 1973) under Portable Washers; Maytag made Best Regardless Of Price under Portable Dryers in the "How To Buy Small (Compact) Appliances & Garbage Disposals...

twintubber & countryguy....
twintubber:
yes, i did watch your video. it was very entertaining. in fact, i'm pretty sure i've seen it before, probably from the other thread, when it was a newer thread (if i am remembering correctly?). i love the automatic maytag washers, i'm kinda over the whole twin tubbin' scene. i had my hand at twin tubbin' with the hoover 0510 that i had. and i'm pretty much twin tubbed out. ha ha... unless of course it would be a simplicity!! but i don't think i have the energy to be so involved in the washing process. so, i'll stick with my maytag automatic. but i did enjoy your video. and everytime i see one of these twin tubbin' videos, it makes me want one. but then i bring myself back down to reality when i think about all the work that is involved in washing with a twin tub. and especially for me, cuz my hands get so dried out and will itch badly. and that's just with doing dishes! i can't imagine doing dishes and then twin tubbin' on top of that!?! my hands would feel like they were on fire!!! but i do enjoy watching the twin tubbin' videos & got a kick out of your video too!!! thank you for sharing your twin tubs so that i can experience them (without having to actually experience them). hm hm hm.... it's actually the next best thing to having & operating one!! :o) countryguy: you got it darlin'! ;o) | ||

Supertwin
The Simplicity and Speed Queen twinnies have their origins in the Servis Supertwin, a machine first launched in the UK in 1958, although it is the updated Supertwin Mk 3 that the US models are based on, which was launched in 1967 or 1968. It continued more or less unchanged, apart from styling updates until the very late 1980s or early 1990s. Our machines had only a single speed agitator but there was an additional part that could be placed over the top half of the agitator which makes the wash action much more vigorous. I have a 1975 Supertwin 100 with the all stainless steel wash deck and lids which is my favourite of the four twin tubs I have. It rolls around easily on its castors and is beautifully quiet in operation.
I have a Hotpoint (as in McClaryEasy) as well and although it is a great machine it has one disadvantage in that it is much lower than a Supertwin or Supermatic and as I am tall it is (literally) a pain in the lower back. Of course the one thing you can be sure of is that the washing will not come out tangled as it would in a Hoovermatic. All our machines were available with heaters, and I am a great believer is letting the first wash soak as the water heats up. That said, I did a huge wash over the Christmas holidays and, by the end of it, I could completely understand how Hippiedoll is quite happy to stand back and let her Maytag deal with the wash :) Al | ||

vacbear58/al...
thank you for the detailed information about the servis supertwin & the comparison hotpoint twin tub. you have got to be one of the luckiest twin tub owners cuz not only do you have a supertwin but you also have a hotpoint!?! very cool!!!
and yeah, it only took me like 2 weekends/times, of doing the week's wash, in my hoover 0510 twinnie, to realize that the hands-on involvement, in doing the wash, in a twin tub, was more than i cared to do; washing & spinning through all the different loads, then draining the wash water and filling with clean water for rinsing, then going through all the damp separated loads of laundry to rinse & spin them, then, after the non-stop cycle of rinsing & spinning the different loads, taking the laundry basket (or 2) full of damp clothes outside to hang on the clothesline. to tell you the truth, i think i was more "damp" than the clothes, from all the sweating of the constant moving!!! LOL..... so from now on, i'll let my maytag "do" the wash & i'll find something else to do, like getting on the computer!! ha ha ha.... ;o) | ||
