Of the many vintage washers among us, which has the best spray rinse? Of course, we can't say any one washer has the best, there are too many factors like, how effective it is and how dramatic and splashy it is. But, if everyone could choose their favorite spray rinse, what would it be and why? My personal favorite is that of my late 60's BD Kenmore both for it's drama and sheer volume of water it uses! I have never had a clearer rinse in any of my washers than in the BD Kenmore!

Hands down has to be the 1-18 circle spray. It takes no prisoners ! | ||

The early Hotpoint I believe had two long spray rinses, perhaps lasting a minute and a half each if you're into volume. I read here that in total one load uses 55 gallons of water, the most of any washer. It was also a solid tub and has that neat overflow rinse and spin. | ||

The first time I`ve ever used an American toploader was an old Speedqueen perhaps from the late 60s in a Laundrette on Gran Canaria. After the wash, this machine altered a few times spinning, spinning with spraying, slowing down the tub while still spraying, and accelerating again without spraying. Done this at least 3 times, can`t remember exactly how often because it is about 15 years back, I found the deep rinse was excellently clear and not slippery at all. Now I also know a few newer DD Whirlpools, which was a big dissapointment to me when playing with one for the first time, because I thought there is no spray rinse at all. So I was quite suprised when I detected the spray while the final spin. It`s kind of strange to me to add fabric softener to the deep rinse onto just spun out soapy clothes, that haven`t been rinsed at all. Just doesn`t feel right to me because Europeans are used to add softener only to the final rinse. I also washed with an older Maytag with one long spray in the spin after the wash. I found that nice, too but my vote goes for the Speedqueen. | ||

The Maytag. 2nd would be the uniform 3 spray rinses of our 76 Whirlpool belt-drive washer, and other belt-drive models. | ||

Hi John, I know what you mean about the Westinghouse top loader. Roger and Greg both had one for a time and it did a fantastic job of rinsing. That long spray rinse really took care of the suds. | ||

Jamie: I often wondered about that myself. I guess the best spray rinse offered by a manufacturer in my opinion would the the 1-18. I like the way it has so much volume and is distributed around the entire tub while it is spraying. Often times when I am too heavy with the soap cap, I will spray rinse with "Warm" water and rinse with cold to get more water on the clothes during the spray rinse. When the 1-18 is done with the spray rinse, I often add a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit of softner to the machine to cut any left suds. Maytag is good too, but not the same. Steve | ||

I agree that the multiple sprays on the mid 70's Kenmore/WP machines were pretty effective. Steve, I used to do the same thing with my center dial Maytag. Once it filled, I would select the hot wash button to make sure I got a warm spray rinse with the extra water volume, then push the warm wash button to get a tub full of cold water for the deep rinse. The SQ rinse mentioned above sounds kind of like what my Duet does. I wish they had retained that system for my '97 Amana. That machine was the worst spray rinse I've ever known, just a short 15 seconds, one time, which wasn't nearly enough. | ||
