No Matt,
When my mother-in-law was shopping for a new washer in the early 80's, she bought another Maytag wringer also, even though it was about $200 more than an automatic. She felt that an automatic was a "water waster", and too complicated for her. Also, the machine she bought had to be ordered because the appliance dealer didn't keep any in stock due to low sales volume.

"Automatic washer with wringer" That washer isn't an automatic washer it is referred to as a "wringer" or "conventional" washer. An automatic washer is one that does the filling, washing, rinsing, spinning and shutting off without any supervision or intervention from the user. I saw on the CNN news scroll a few months ago they referred to someone being "put through the ringer". Obviously the writer was was too young to know the proper term is put through the "wringer". | ||

In answer to the question of why people would buy a wringer instead of an automatic, alot of people, even in the 60's didnt always have the correct plumbing, and drain facilities to be able to utilize an automatic. Especially in rural area's. Also alot of People thought that automatics were a passing trend, that wouldn't last. Wringers also were alot more reliable than the early versions of the automatic washers.
