The end of the Wring cycle
It took all of about 30 seconds. Of course you can wring at slow speed, nice for sweaters or blankets. And you can wring one item at a time and take your sweet old time as i probably will when I become elderly, or just naturally slow down. You have total control. Love to challenge Geoff or Gary to a Wringing Race!

Hi Guys!
Rich got it; you probably did too, Geoff, but you're so pollite and wonderful that you didn't want to spoil the fun. That's the filter port, so I thought: why not a fill port? I do not usually wring with such ferocity, merely showing the Lady's power. And, yes, that is a kitchen sink spray faucet adapter from "the olden days." Sure works and looks just fine, eh Mister? If any heads break, you'll be the first person I call. Indeed, the Maytag wringer is faster, by 2.5 seconds for a king size bath towel. I clocked the M@ 8.5 seconds, and the Kenmore @ 11. I usually wring 3 towels at a time; it takes them very smoothly and with great ease. Yes Rich, I have a Norge semi-automatic, an ancient war horse, with an open chrome wringer, though not quite as dramatic as the Visimatic. | ||

Great pictures, and I too am relieved to know you don't always wring the whole load in one pass! LOL

Love the pictures! Wringing race is it? Well, after I get to know my new digital camera better, I can do that only I will use the 1955 ABC wringer and see what you think about that? It has smaller rollers than the Maytag or Visa matic but does a good job too. Have fun. Gary | ||

Very exciting! I totally peed! If I could ever find an Easy Spin Dry Conventional (which has always been my fave) I think I'd end up using it more than my Hettie! I love getting involved with my laundry. | ||

Hello Steve, Sam, Dave, Ross, Scott, Gary, Gene, Tom, and Gr
So glad you noticed the bling, Steve; sometimes the things the camera catches are truly astonishing. Sooooooo, Brother Robert, If you didn't want skin, theeeennnn........why weren't you wearing your nun's habit instead of the "muskle" shirt ? : - D The spray made the day! What a nice thing to say, you beautiful Hawaiian! Thank You Ross, but you have a THOR, the ultimate conventional, and such a beautiful studio. Have no fear, Scott I was just letting the lady play to the camera. Are you wringing or sitting? I see you fill to the top like Geoff does, and you have the Maytag Cadillac. Gar, I'd love to see you collection, and maybe we could have a prettiest rope contest with Geoff--after the race! Gene, you peed, Yippee, another load to do. And you made me laugh really hard. I'll save my other less able Easy for you, indefinately. Maybe you can torque her up. A lot of work AND a lot of fun, Tom. Once you get used to them, you enter an effortless flow. Like baking, wringing is very forgiving, and the rubber yields to the buttons rather than snapping them into your eyeballs. Greg, waiting for the day when you get into Conventionals they way Combos are on the horizon for me. Gentlemen, sorry for the delay; I was totally freaked out by Glenn. You know why if you've read the thread. I genuinely appreciate your taking time to talk to me. It is so nice to hear from people you've grown so fond of; that's the magic of this club. | ||

Never brought it forward into consciousness, Phil, but it wa
It's a scrubber cap, or collar reamer, and you could hold your heavily soiled item up to the head and give it good rubbing. Originally, the Visi was missing her cap, and the uber-generous John, Coldspot66, had the kindness to send me a NIB Roto-swirl Scrubber Cap. I think of him every time I use the Lady. Nice pix of both of you Scott. Is that our Roger? I almost know everyone now, | ||
