I'm definately going to have to say that I nominate Whirlpool/Kenmore. They really got 'er done. If the nomination were for the spin ,however, I wouldn't pick the Whirlpool's lethargic spin, and would pick just about anything else. | ||

Norge-Kelvinator I'm anxious to see what Mr. Gansky is gonna pull out of his hat with the mystery washer. If its a late 60's 18lb Norge-Kelvinator with the ramp agitator, that machine has a very powerful intensive agitation. | ||

I would say any GM Frigidaire, followed by Kelvinator/ABC and Philco Automagic/Miss America. The Whirlpool/Sears/Norge type machines would be good too, but I think the first three are somewhat better in cleaning and certainly with gentleness to fabrics. | ||

.....my nomination is.... 1. The Westinghouse top loader with the swirl agitator and the indexing tub - knocks the GE version of this out of the water! 2. Kelvinator 3. Norge Burpilator. 4. Frigidaire Jet Action - it doesn't tangle! | ||

After careful consideration, including best cleaning ability and wear and tear on clothing, I would have to go with any of the GM Frigidaires. Close second would be Westinghouse with the indexing tub and/or GE ramp activator. | ||

Actually Austin, the GE always got very high marks from CR for washing ability and I think Westinghouse usually ended up as Average Washing Ability...... | ||

I know...the fact that the 18 lb. GE will always win out is what I was trying to aim ;-) | ||
