I just wish they made a double tub version! But yes, that’s definitely more along the lines of what I’m looking for! |

These should make a comeback along with sudssaver TL washers-maybe then we can get rid of the requirement of TL washers trying to do loads in teacups of water! |

were always panned by CR; I never saw one, growing up in TX with no basements around. They said the water cooled down too much and it was dirty besides. But then, lots of people used to run multiple loads through wringer washers! |

CR is as biased as one can get.....and that's only natural, people can't pull their personal opinion out of the equation when it comes to any given subject....
at the time, the person who wrote that article maybe had an 'ick' factor in their mind, so SudsSaving machines would not get a favorable mention... but, if the article was written by someone who grew up on wringer machines, and were converting to an automatic with the SS feature....it would have gotten higher praises... CR reports apparently didn't stop manufacturers from building them, nor the people who bought them... |

I personally don't think it will ever happen. For one, today's larger capacity top load machines use too much water in the wash cycle to store -- you'd need a bathtub to store the water, a laundry sink would not be adequate. (Most machines during the suds saver heyday, 1950's through 60's, held about 8 to 10 pounds of clothes.)
Secondly, laundry habits have changed. I don't think most people these days save up a week's worth of laundry and do it all at once on a single day -- multiple loads back-to-back. Suds savers on automatics appealed to those transitioning from a manual machine. Most folks today would not even know what a wringer washer is or how you use it. While water would probably stay warm in a manual machine because you start the next load washing as soon as you removed previous load, on an automatic with suds saver the water would cool while the machine finished spinning, rinsing and spinning the first load. When I was a kid many neighbors had suds saver machines, usually Kenmores. Our next door neighbor had a Speed Queen with suds saver and never used that feature -- she said the water got too cold. My mom was thrilled to get an automatic in the later 50's and didn't want anything to do with manual wash day habits after that, including reusing dirty wash water. |
