Absolutely. I have a 50's Maytag Wringer (electric) which I bought for sentimental as well as asthetic reasons, but I do use it from time to time. They just run and run and are so simple to repair if needed. | ||

I do...
I have an old 1940 Maytag E2L. It's an electric with a square tub. I use it spring through fall, basically whenever the weather is nice enough to hang clothes out. I can wash two to four loads with the same water. I can also get them done QUICKLY; if you have a rinse tub next to it, you can wash, rinse and hang six loads of laundry in about an hour and a half. If you're going to get a wringer washer, I would suggest you go with Maytag. Parts are still available pretty easily, and they are very easy to fix. Just get one made 1939 or later for safety purposes; the release bar works very well on the E and N series and they wash beautifully. Hope this helps, Mike | ||

Chirs, You bet, go and get one. I have 2 ABC's from the 50's, 3 Maytags and a Dexter. All wash up a storm and you can do laundry in them fast too. By the time you do one load, rinse it and hang it out on the line, the next load is ready. Have fun with your new machine. ABC O Matic (Gary) | ||

Yes, I do.
A huge semi-automatic Norge in which I do boil washes of rags and rugs using the dishwasher discharge from the main wash and the three rinses. A square Maytag with green and black accents and a pump which I use regularly. A nearly fully restored Kenmore Visamatic, my pride and joy, using it as often as possible. For anyone interested I am working on something very special for all of you. It's called: Conventional Washing, a Study in Text and Pictures. I promise that it will be a real shocker. It is almost finished. | ||

Geoff, the "Roller Water Remover" on that Gray Ghost looks like it would remove any body part that was unfortunate enough to get caught and pulled in. Tom | ||

Tom ... it sure does!! :-) The safety release didn't seem so "safe" to me, either. Good heavens; you would have to exert quite a bit of force with your other hand to release it if your arm got caught in in it. Kind of scary ... BUT ... a lot of fun to operate!! | ||
