 Just discovered the LO speed !! It works like a Maytag and still that 210 arc-cuate action rolls the wash !!
See the pools of water swirl !! See the Looonnnng "Reveal" in spin/drain !!
Here the gush of real water !!
The long gurgle of drain !!

Interesting note on the "Short Cycle" where time is reduced on all cycles, the rinse has an feature: the first increment is cold water only then the next you get the water temp you selected for rinse then at the end the overflow is forced back to cold instead of what you selected. Also I may not have the correct balance of fluid in the drive as on the short cycle spin and regular cycle spin between wash and rinse the tub cannot completely empty. Fascinating as Spock would say !!

ha ha.....
very cool!!!
NOW I WANT ONE OF THESE!!! hm hm hm..... i like the way the fins are a solid on piece to the agitator bottom. theres no way that thin straps can get trapped under the agitator fins (a problem i have with the maytag "power fin" agitators). thank you for sharing the video. how exciting! i can't help but smile as i watch the "gentle/lo" agitating!!! i like the way the spin cycle starts out, where you can barely hear the water start to run over the side of the inner tub. you can actually visualize the starting of a waterfall effect as the tub starts out the spinning. very cool. not only does this machine give great visual effects, but the sounds are pretty cool too!!! :o) | ||

Love seeing the Arc-Cuate 210 in action be it fast or slow. Long live the Arc-Cuate! | ||

I don't get the "Maytaging" reference. Did you put a Maytag motor or trans in the Speed Queen? From what I saw the only thing remotely connected to a Maytag was the slow agitation. Maybe you put in a Maytag wash basket? A Maytag timer? | ||

brian....
thanks for the tip beekeyknee.
i've thought about this, but i figured the lack from rubbing of clothes to clothes action, would mean less cleaning action. so i didn't use the mesh bags. but i am going to get a few of them so that i can put maybe 2 in each bag so that there will at least be some movement in each bag. thank you again for the tip brian. ;o) | ||

Low Speed
Are you saying and demonstrating a Maytag on Low speed compared to the Speed Queen or Regular Speed ?

I "Maytag" my Speed Queen AWN542 quite often, especially for small to medium-small loads. I'll use the Heavy Soil setting on the Regular cycle but use the Knits fabric selector (slow agitation/fast spin). Saves wear and tear on fabrics; and on smaller loads there's still plenty of clothes-whipping wash action/turnover at the slower speed.
This is one of the reasons I recommend the AWN542 to potential buyers. It's the only machine in the line that gives you the option of constant slow-speed agitation on every cycle. Having that option is with the extra bucks, especially since most people in the market for a SQ plan to keep it for a long time. This post was last edited 08/03/2014 at 11:48 | ||

Good thinking Eugene that is what I'm gonna end up doing with the regular cycle on Willie for delicates, set the speed to Lo and let it go . I think the short cycle with the 'shortened agitate Time Button set to 7-4 Speed button set to Lo setting" would be a great option combination for woolens and knits. This machine can do it all - which for 1957 I find very progressive.
No Eddie I'm saying the opposite, this Speed Queen set on Lo = a Maytag set on Regular. And after experience I'm thinking this Speed Queen set on Hi = a Unimatic in turbidity of water and turn over of clothes.
