My family had a Maytag model E wringer washer from ‘69 to ‘73 due to water shortage and because Mom had fond memories of using a wringer washer.  And my first washing machine was a Maytag model J that I bought used for $35.

I never found the process of doing laundry with a wringer washer particularly laborious.  To me it was meditative, and I could easily complete washing and rinsing 4 loads of laundry in an hour or less.  We never needed to do a second rinse, but would change the rinse water after the second load was rinsed in it sometimes, but not always.  And the laundry was always super clean.

The outline of the process in reply #3 isn’t much like I recall the process.  I guess some people may have done it this way.  And granted our wringer washers were not in a cold basement and both Moms and mine had a pump so draining wasn’t much of a hassle.

I live in a two story townhouse with a dedicated closet that will only hold an automatic washer and dryer, no room for a laundry tub and the bathroom is configured in such a way that it would be impossible to use a wringer washer in there and rinse in the bathtub like I did when I owned my Maytag model J, and the kitchen is too small for using a wringer washer. But if I had the room for a proper tub to rinse I’d have a wringer washer as my daily driver.  I like hands on work that goes from start to finish with the fruits of may labor visible.  

Different strokes for different folks.
