your question is a bit puzzling.....
your NOT actually going to 'out perform' a FLer, between its energy savings of water and detergent, plus the high speed spin.....time frames for the new ones are lengthly.....but if you stick with the first generation Frigidaires (1995-2005) or the Neptunes (digitals)....you might find the times shorter(43 minutes), and more water used for cleaning... now if your looking for hands on manual operation, yeah, an Easy Spindrier, Wringer, or Twin tub might fit the bill...... and....how much older do you want to go?.....a TL direct drive Whirlpool/Kenmore would work....as with any Maytag center dial, pitman tranny preferred.....or something as simple as a GE FilterFlo.....these usually do a load around 35 minutes start to finish.... but you will sacrifice using more water, heating that water, and slower spin speeds.... another option, as some of us have, is several machines...if you have the space.....we can tear through some laundry fast... in the space of two traditional machines, you could fit two stacked pairs.... there are pros and cons to everything.....

Thanks for chiming in everyone! thanks for all the information, I'll rephrase my question a little bit. Would a wringer washer clean a load of laundry quicker and as clean as my front loader or what is the best style (wringer,twin tub, vintage automatic) for quick load cycles and clean clothes? | ||

Thanks Is there anything other than a washtub and some water to rinse the clothes? or is it more or less just swishing the clothes around in clean water and giving them a wring? | ||

rinse tubs
I use the wash tubs in the basement, although not everyone has them. I have also used two large plastic Rubbermaid tubs also. Sometimes I was all the clothes in the ringer and put them in the automatic washer to spin and rinse.
Its cheating yes! but if you have a lot of laundry to get done it is fast. | ||

as far as the machine goes.... what do you all prefer? from what I've learned it seems like tall vanes on the bottom of the agitator seem to be needed for good turnover and the maytag square tub seem to be really good machines. Is there a brand or a specific model that cleans better or are they all about the same? | ||

wringer
When it comes to wringer washers that is like asking members what kind of car they prefer. Their were many companies that made them and different styles of them.
I personally own a 1952 square Maytag J2l non pump model. It is large enough to handle most items. My advice if getting a wringer washer to get a pump model it is much easier. I wish mine had a pump. | ||
