Wanted and FOR SALE
That's what the Shoppers Square section is!
I have 2 Suds model washers, both from Craigslist, and neither seller knew or advertised that they were suds models. Use this website to research suds models so you'll know the knobs and buttons to look for on the machines for sale. Be patient and keep looking. Be very patient. A Kenmore/Whirlpool Suds, or Maytag Suds or GE suds from the 70's onwards will have good chances of getting parts and keeping running, and are well-built machines. Any Easy spindrier or Hoover twin-tub or Simplicity will have some difficulty or great difficulty in finding parts, but if it's only 50 or 100 bucks and runs for now and gives you a few years of service, you're still ahead of the game on savings. And in the meantime you can keep looking for an automatic suds model. Patience | ||

you don't actually have to have a SUDS model to save suds...
we all have done a fix up of sorts that allow the saving of wash water....may be a bit of manual attention, but who doesn't stay for the whole washing process? a simple wringer washer can work wonders..... A.....you can use it as a storage tub for wash water from an automatic, and then pump the water back to any automatic.... B.....or wash everything in the wringer, run clothes thru the wringer, and rinse/spin in the automatic... C.....a few of us have several automatics lined up, and pump one into the next, right down the line..... the advantage of B and C, is the water doesn't have time to cool down... | ||

Laundry room
Does your laundry room have a single or double tub, or just a drain pipe? Show us a picture or two of your current set-up.
If there;s just a drain pipe, no tub(s), and only space for one washer and one dryer, you are pretty limited in your options, frankly. SudsSaver automatics pump the soapy wash water into the usual laundry tub, then the rinse water goes down a drain pipe through the second hose, then the wash water is sucked back into the machine from the tub. But a picture will help, and various folks on this website have come up with pretty clever solutions | ||

a suds saver maytag 208
i remember seeing a maytag A208s being listed in the shopper's square not too long ago. i would say maybe like 3 weeks or so??
if i can remember correctly, i think it was in a thread that ovrphil made for a couple of maytags. and it was the 2nd maytag posted. so, if you'd like to try and find the sudsaver maytag. the 208 is a "standard" capacity sized washer. and if i am remembering correctly, i think that maytag 208s was in texas? not positive but i think it was in texas. you would definitely need to drive for it or have it shipped. but it was definitely an A208s (sudsaver) model. good luck.... :o) | ||
