Difficult question for me-its also like what is my favorite vintage vacuum cleaner.Sadly no room at my place for vintage washers-except just a few.Presently WP-KN BD and a Hotpoint-has rim flow and the ramp blade agitator. BOL Builders model.

I've had SF Westinghouse, large and small tub Maytags, WP BDs, a Filterflo here and there, a Frigidaire and a Panasonic twintub, all vintage and all worked perfectly well. None was a dog for wash/rinse ability. The Panasonic spun best by twice. The Westy and Tags were easiest to work on for routine upkeep like belts, the WP was a curse (literally), changed the pump coupling on a FF without too much gnashing, the Panasonic needed no repairs. The Panasonic also had a unique bottom-offset washplate that created VERY active turnover without much knotting despite non-reversing.

Current machine is Panda (China) twintub. Best solution for the space and laundry volume I have. I'd rather have the Panasonic back but that's impossible. The latemodel Maytag coinop TLs and FL downstairs are inflexible to the point of unusable. No options, not even pause/soak. The only thing they do right is fill adequately. Tough laundry would require 3 cycles to do right and rinse well.

Well... if given a preference, I would choose any of these models pictured below.

All of them built like tanks, and therefore, any of them can/would be used as a Daily Driver at any given time given my preference, mood or what I need to get done. But being I have grew up using Belt-Drive Kenmores, I tend to have a soft spot for those.

My Favorite Vintage Washers will be pictured, as well as the Dryer.

Thanks and I am looking forward to seeing the favorites and others on here on this thread.
