Beats me why Sears would want to put a Whirlpool machine in the ad (I can tell by the lid handle) if W-P makes Sears' Kenmore machines...
Perhaps putting a Maytag in the ad (& keeping the GE; I recognize the lid design!) might make a little less competition within a brand, as is so depicted... -- Dave | ||

Interesting Ad.......
they all used their largest capacity models, Regular/Normal cycle, the only one that may have been cut short would be the Maytag at 10 minutes, while the rest were closer to 14....... its hard to tell about any certain load, where as always, bulk is more of a factor than quantity, towels would be a big issue on this one..... I remember the commercial with the see thru tub, and for the DA, they would place a black sock in a all white load, and thru time lapse, would show the sock moving around, in a very packed machine, claiming it would rollover the load about 2 or 3 times more with the DA versus any other agitator......this worked well for the belt drive version....you would not pack a DD like this, then you would have clothes damage..... I added the DA to my Whirlpool, when it was available in the catalog, just to increase the capacity and rollover, especially with blankets or jeans........the spiral help make sure the load turned over.....and it did not mean you had to pack the machine, and the spiral only kicked in if needed.... | ||

Tom -
The Normal cycle in all full-size Kenmores that I can remember from the early 60s forward max-out at at least 12 minutes. In some of the early 60s machines, they denote no more than 12 minutes wash time on the consoles, but the fill/wash period starts a little before the markings, so I'm guessing they had 14 minutes total. From the later 60s forward, they all had 14 minutes available and marked on the dials/consoles. Whirlpools I think were usually similar, except some better models had the Super-wash option in front of the Normal cycle. The load size in the ad is very subjective. "Three sheets"? Like you said, they have to be twin sheets. Six towels? They must have been small. Six towels that I use can more than 3/4 fill a large capacity Kenmore, but my towels are those big body sheets, which go from my collar bone to my feet. There is no way that I could get all this on one of my machines without all the fill water ending up on the floor. Two tablecloths too? Are we talking airplane tray-table covers or a dining room table? I have always made the assumption that each of the other machines was also a TOL model, which in every case would be their biggest capacity. I think the manufacturers would have had a strong case if the comparison was biased in such a way in Kenmore's favor had they not used large capacity models for all four machines. The GE appears to be a Dispensall. Is a large cap. GE's tub larger than Maytag's? I have always assumed that the GE's tubs were smaller than MT's, but I could surely be wrong. Sears always showed load sizes or load contents which were much larger than anything I would ever load in one. In a subsequent DAA ad, they showed that the DA rolled-over a load X times (I can't remember how many) in 14 minutes...by this time they were specifying wash times, when even their own Penta-Swirl would only roll over the load once in 14 minutes. One roll over in 14 minutes, even in a PS, is one giant load. The machine must be stuffed, slammed, and crammed. Gordon | ||

Thanks Tom I was going to get into a Thread about Dual Action Agitators.
And will when I gather more Material. The first genaration augers to me had the longest curve to the top and bottom. To me was very affective at turning over laundry. Bruce it is true that it can turn over laundry in even 5 mins and a half here in this video look at the BLUE plaid Gingam pattern shirt... in the end it should make... 7 Turnovers. This was A VERY LARGE LOAD. This machine is now in Martin's home ( Yogibear ) lol. Darren k This post was last edited 04/07/2012 at 22:12 | ||

Well thank you for sending a movin' pitcher! What's with the weak stream dispenser water? Calls to mind commercials for prostate medicine or the put down for the totally incompetent: "He couldn't manage to get water into a lake if he was pissing off the end of the dock." | ||

Good, because the one on John's Frankenmore used to really gush the water. | ||
