a tub full of suds cannot keep the Amazing Arc-Cuate 210 from doing its job. |

Gong in to spin with a suds cake, leaves something to be desired compared to a Unimatic and the same process. It's almost like, uhh, is it broken, it's just not working right. I do have to wonder if the spin between the wash & rinse fill is getting up to full speed by the time it's time to start coasting down. And it seems to slow to a stop during the coasting rather quickly. My almost total exposure was SQs in laundromats in the 1970s with the much faster spin speeds. |

Is that an overflow rinse like my mom's old Norge Timeline had? With California's current drought, if the Water Police caught you using one of those machines they'd reopen Alcatraz and get a room ready for you.

I did notice in the video that yes the suds cake went bye bye but...it went into the outer tub and the washtub just churned it up even more with the spinning action. Thats why it never reaches top speed. The solid tub SQ I had the joy of using when I was younger would have issues with suds if one used too much detergent. Tide was notorious for sudscakes followed by blue Cheer and Breeze. My mom bought what ever was on sale. I liked using All Controlled Suds and Dash since the SQ washer did well with those detergents. Today if I had a solid tub SQ washer, I would use an HE detergent like I use in my SQ washer that I have.
That said, thats a nice video and I cant get over how quiet the washer is agitating. |
