Wasn't the Coronado a Franklin made machine? |

Dropping a Spiralator into my SQ to create an "Easy Queen" creates some very aggressive agitation! Some of the best roll-over I've ever seen! My folks up in NY had Blackstone's and Easy's. Not a big hit in the deep-south, however, the Easy Manual machines much more so. |

I've had two direct drive Velva-power Easy Automatic Washers. I would rate the sprialator Easy-made Easy automatics washing performance as excellent. Handles large loads with good turnover and seems more gentle than other back and forth agitators. However water extraction ability is not good in these machines. The spin speed is very reasonable at 650rpm, but it's poorly designed clutch and only a 4 minute final spin is a poorly designed cycle. The problem is the clutch was designed to slowly bring the tub up to speed and it takes nearly 2 minutes to reach 650-rpm, with a 4 minute final spin only giving 2 minutes at top speed you come out with clothes spun no better than a belt-drive Whirlpool/Kenmore unfortunately.
I have had two of these machines come through my collection, a 1962 Model: and a 1964 Model which I still have and use, this machine is in near mint condition as it was very low use: Here is a video of it washing: CLICK HERE TO GO TO Unimatic1140's LINK |
