Here are a few pictures of my Easy Spindrier in action. I am using Sears detergent and borax. This is a load of sheets. I hope you all enjoy. Gary

After all of the wash is done, including dirty cleaning rags. No dirt escapes the Spiralator. Emptying the washer; the spinner has been removed for cleaning. Thanks for viewing. Gary

Another Easy

kenmore58's profile picture
Since we're showing off our Easy's, you know this proud Daddy has to show his off. Even though I posted pictures before of this, I have to show it again. As some of you may remember, when I found this several months ago, it was pretty much in new condition, although dirty. I'm still in the process of cleaning it up, but it runs like a champ.

I am trying to scan the paperwork I did get with it. Give me a day or two and I should have it posted.

Ron

HI Ron

HI Ron, Love your machine. Do you know the age of your machine? The controls are different than mine but I think yours probably works better without a lot of maintanence?
Thanks, Gary

Easy Spindrier is my favorite washer of all time. Grandma's looked like Ron's but without the timer. Open on the bottom, right? Can anyone snap a well-lit pic of the works? I have peeked under one but that had to have been before 1953.

From the small amount of research I've been able to obtain, I believe this machine dates back to 1951.

MANUFACTURE DATE ON EASYs

combo52's profile picture

I have found that if you look at the cast bottom of the transmission the date is cast right in, I have one that looks like Ron's that was made in 1952 and the one that Jon and I have with the demonstration windows was made in 1948.

Hey Brad,

Actually, my invitation to come to Rhode Island was my feeble attempt at being funny
since there is so much distance between us.

However, I would never turn down the chance to show you my Easy. So, give me a shout the next time you're in the area!

Ron

handle in the middle

kenmore ron:
your Easy is exactly like the one my aunt and grandmother had...I posted a few years ago that I was fasinated with the machine as a child I was FORBIDEN to touch it..so when no was was looking I'd move the timer around...anyway my question is..what is/does the handle on the bottom between the 2 gear shift looking handles..is it a filter? About how much do you think your machine cost new in '51?As my grandmother aged and my aunt and uncle became better off in the money department( and the dirt road to the hwy that led to town got paved) they went to the "washer" in town. My aunt is now in her mid 80's; she and my unlce never threw anything way..I suspect the Easy is still setting in the basment where it has been since the late 60's early 70's. I'm sure when she passes her 2 children will make dozens of trips to the county land fill and the Easy will probably be on top of the load...yeah sad.thanks/mark

Mark,

The handle you're referring to engages the pump. I haven't been able to find what that machine sold for in the early '50's. Maybe someone else in the group can answer that one. I'd be interested to know myself.

These are still in production!! Not as fancy and the Spiral agitators are now made of cheap,thin plastic. I saw them,new,at a store in Houston ready for export to Mexico.What's weird is I think that's where they're now made. Why would one go and purchase one here to ship to Mexico when they already have them available there???

IIRC the handle had only 2 positions and the pump ran all the time. The drain hose had a ball-valve nozzle you had to open and close. Like with the handle down the pump was set to empty the spinner. You shut the ball valve to move the hose from the drain tub to the wash tub for suds save. Or to fill the spinner for prerinse. The other handle position drained the washtub. My 1973 Panasonic was very similar, except it had another position which electrically turned the standalone pump off. The Pana was also much simpler thus more reliable. No transmission. 2-speed motors for wash and spin. Wash was direct belt drive and spin was direct without belt or clutch.

What I don't remember is, on the 2-spigot models, what selected between spigots.

Easy Spigots

macboy91si's profile picture
Hey arbilab, the small spigot is a fresh water spout, it connected to the sink or other tap source. This was used for filling and rinsing and swung around over the spinner cone for a spray rinse. The larger spout was the drain and swung over the sink. The deluxe models had the dual spouts, basic models had none.

thanks!!

Thanks Ron for answering my question...I never thought of the handle for turning the pump on/off. Forsome reason I envisioned that handle releasing some kind of drawer that had a filter trap inside one could clean after use. Thanks again!!/mark

Grandma's was roughly a 1951 and the drain was a hose with a valve on the sink end. Working the valve and the clutch handles was my job. Don't recall any water valves on the machine itself, believe it was controlled from the washtub faucets.
