I knew one family with a Kelvinator when I was a kid. Never saw another. Many years later, I wondered if I'd only imagined or dreamed the "stirring" agitation action. Upon discovering AW, I saw Robert's video of his ABC, and the memories came rushing back. They definitely take the checkered flag for high-action splashy drama.
Here's Paul's video of his machine. It opens with the "Shampoo Action" (or what Kelvinator called the Magic Minute). It completes the fill and remaining wash agitation at 2:04.
Don't know that the Shampoo Action/Magic Minute made much difference---the tub is nearly full of water so detergent concentration is increased only a bit and the extra scrubbing is so brief---but it allowed one to keep the lid open before everything went into hyper-splash mode once the tub had completed filling. |
