I would say.... ...the Maytag Highlander with the wringer washer agitator. The tub was fairly large, the agitator took up very little space, and you got really great rollover! Mark | ||

Nolo Contendere
The Frigidaire Pulsamatic, the Vibrator--You keep adding items, seemingly forever, and they keep turning over. Does any club member have one of these babies? No contest in the First generation of washtubs which were 8-10 pounders. Then the Philco . Second generation: 12 pound Frigidaire, mid to late sixies (?), classic 3 ring agitator, before the jetcone, solid tub, could hold and move a ton of clothes. Let's have a contest. | ||

A 56 WP that fills all the way up...
Steve,I know exactly what you mean about the early WP/KM not filling all the way on the high water level. The pressure valve can only be adjusted so far on those also. What I have done is replaced the pressure valve with one from a larger capacity machine,then adjust the replacement valve to the height I want the water level to be. I am sure you know,that the KM/WP tubs were the same size. The engineers just designed the later machines to fill to a higher level,then rated the machines for a larger capacity. Don't know at what point they finally made the tub larger.

Well, I personally think the 12-pound Frigidaire held far more than that. I got to play with Steve 1/18's 1967 rapid dry rollermatic when I was there in 2002. Did a load of white towels and such--I kept adding and ading more all the way up to the very top of the tub (balance ring) and then some. That load rolled over very nice. Steve commented later that the lo0ad was almost way too much for the DCI65 dryer--a "matching" companion.
