LOL I was going to say that the agitator looked like a Maytag agitator, but I thought it would sound kind of bizarre. I am glad I am not the only one who was of that opinion too. |

In Roanoke Va had one, it actually washed pretty well, kind of like a Maytag on steroids, but the water extraction was abysmal, a wringer would do far better!LOL |

Now that was fun to see! I find it really hard to believe that this extraction method passed as good enough to sell. So interesting, that they thought pressing against the agitator would take out enough water...
The coolest thing about this Economat is just having it and installing a display window(nice going Robert)..to demonstrate a rare (to me) kind of extraction. Thanks for another cool video from "Washer Theater" - and the history. Phil |

Could we see your Economat, washing and rinsing please!!! My parents had one, but got rid of it when i was a baby, as if stopped squeezing the clothes out well enough. it ran 5 years with a family ranging from 4-6 people over its short life time. it was replaced with a 1957 60 series, 2 speed, Kenmore,with a preggie rotoswirl agi, and a waterfall filter. Would love to see the Bendix in action.
