In this country anything with "Hawaiian" in the title normally means a lump of pineapple in/on it, and some silly tart in a grass skirt gyrating around

Lovely machines, smooth and well built sounding.

Nicely put together vid

Soundtrack to DIE for !

The real question I have is

Jon, why weren't you using Rosalie's Zero Suds in your wash? I saw that big bottle of Persil you were using. :)

While I've passed the point of committing to a top-loader in the laundry room, I still love to seem them operate---especially vintage machines. Your videos are always a blast to watch, Jon.

Mahalo nui loa!

Well...

Christopher, I always test new products to see that I am keeping ahead of the market. And the Persil was a gift from one of our New England members. I did study the Persil formula when Louis introduced me to it years ago. Its a good performer.

 

Gene, thank you I am glad you enjoy the vids, they are fun to make. I'm saving my pennies for a GoPro camera for live in tub shots!! Henri the Cameraman from CBS took some movies this way, I hope they make it into the segment for you'all to see.

@Frig

One ought to exercise extreme vigil over any lustful thoughts of top-loaders. 

 

You may have been resolute in removing such a machine from your laundry room, but regret often worms its way into things often seen as innocent. 

 

It starts with the videos. Before long, you'll be perusing catalogues, and magazines! Heaven forbid, if you start seeing them in person!

 

I'm warning you, its a very slippery slope t'wards the top-load-kingdom (tolodom). 

 

tongue-out

 

Jon, great video as always. And you ought to know, two machines are surely better than one! LOL

washer111-- I have zero skills to repair/rebuild washers, so a vintage machine is out of the question for me. But I honestly think I'm completely done with top-loaders, even as a "second machine" in the laundry room. I've had three different top-loaders in the last nine years, none of which lasted long. Of course, as soon as I say that, I'll get interested in one of the new impeller machines, which seem to have improved since their introduction...

Jon-- Segment on a CBS program? Refresh my tiny fevered mind, please... I wouldn't want to miss it!
By the way, you have, without question, the most adorable profile pic at AW.  Absolutely charming. I'm assuming that's a young Jon popping out of the GE.

Who wouldn't love doing their wash in a Frigidaire with Persil?

Great video as always!

Cant beat a beat n thumper action. Only you can Oola Hoola, loving the can,

Nowthen: is that Persil Henkel or Unilever because it seemed to take a long time to dissolve in the filter tray!!

Tolodom!!! Washer111 Holla thats funny!

jetcone's profile picture

I'm gonna use that one.

 

Mike that Persil just hit our markets. Henkel bought The Dial Corp to get a foothold into the US market. So this Megaperls Persil is marked The Dial Co. It did take a long time to dissolve !! The 12 minute wash was into 9-10 minutes before it was completely dissolved in the GE FF.

 

I had bought the German Megaperls Persil and I found I don't like megaperls! They escape from the scoop and when they hit the concrete they seem to bond to it ! I liked the powder much better that I got from Germany. But we now only have the liquid and perls on our market. 

 

I have to say Persil does a nice job cleaning, I studied their formula in depth when developing Rosalie's - we parted ways when it came to bleaches and optical brighteners though.
