Don ... those are BEAUTIFUL! I've always wanted to wash in one of those. I bet they are really efficient and fun to use! Geoff |

These are awesome, Jetaction. I love those spiral agitators. Do they spin like bandits? Bobby in Boston |

They will also creep a bit while spinning unless the brake is set or if some water gets on the floor by a wheel. Lots of good noises including slurping from the pump when the spinner is on. Beautiful machines. Enjoy. |

Twin Easies--same here You and they may become inseparable, like me and mine. Someone mentioned overflowing in the extractor or spinner as Easy people call them. Try to get the spinners out. If they're stuck, you've got a problem. Finally I can help someone on this site. I'll guide you thru it if need be. Here's why. The amazing drain--wait till you see the metal arch surrounding half of it--can become clogged with lint, a process which may take forever; but when it does, imagine a unimatic throwing its water with the whole lid off. YAY, but here comes a New England flood. You have to take the spinner out to clear the drain. When Easy says: "Precision Engineering since 1877," they mean it, as you'll see as you start to fathom its fabulous structures and secrets. |

I have not had much time other than to plug them in. One spins and does not agitate, I have not looked under her skirt to see what is up with that. The other just hums. With two machines I have some extra parts which is good but I am not sure how much work they will need. These will be fun machines to tinker with out in the garage now that it is nice outside. I saw these a couple weeks ago at an estate sale that I was not going to go to, but I was on my way home and it was within a couple of blocks from where I was so I stopped. Luckily the move from the basement was only 1/2 set of steps and straight out the door!

A while back when Robert restored the Easy Automatic, I talked about a lint filter, which I hoped was not a hallucination. And there it is in your photo: RED-- mine was GREEN, but it's made for the Easy Spin. You swing the DRAIN/SUDS RETURN faucet all the way in, over the filter. Never that fond of it, I inadvertantly left it in my last house. Excited for when you get them up and running. Be careful of the one that's humming: the agitator gear is stuck. You'll have to get under her skirt and start wiggling. SECRET CONFESSION: If I were forced to live alone on that Proverbial Island and was allowed to take only one washing machine with me, without question or deliberation, it would be the best of my two Easies--hands Down! |
