Good questions! A) Filter-Flo. One with the copper pan and in PANK! or turquoise. B) No American front-loads. A vintage Miele, sure. A vintage Whirlpool or Kenmore without the thrash-o-matic? In PANK or turquoise? You betcha. C) Real Maytag, preferably center dial and any color but Avocado or Harvest Gold. Some of the ladies around here who rejected the Chinese offer to keep workers in Newton because 'Whirlpool' was gen-u-whine 'murikan got a taste of the 21st century's attitude toward US workers early on. I still won't buy modern Whirlpool because of it. D)Speed Queen before 2018, though I've never been as big a fan of them as some.
Basically, though, I want more thumpers. In PANK! | ||

I don't fully understand your question.
I would not buy anything atc but I will go vintage and agitator top loader. I have many vintage frontloader from all European makers but nothing I ever used outperformed vintage-older agitator washers. Some went very close in terms of performance but still too much time to wait for my standards. In the time they do one load I do three in a agitator top loader. | ||

Oh and the new front loaders, I would never get one even if they paid me to, talking about 3hrs waterless cycles and no actual temperatures reached
I seriously would rather use one of those plastic Chinese twin tubs and that says enough (which BTW I ended up doing in my summer house since my aunt as she was using the house replaced the machine I had there with a Hotpoint since the other one broke, and that without telling me a thing)...I would have brought up one of my vintage Miele's! Probably the w427... Damn that Hotpoint won't even remove sand from a load of 2 beach towels! Even my sister next door comes to my house doing her laundry in the speed queen as she can't stand her aqualtis... | ||

Somehow my earlier entry got messed up I would choose A,B,or C.NO modern machines except Speed Queen that are not of the Agitub kind-and mechanical timers. | ||

Easyspindry
I didn't know Speed Queen FL's don't allow you to pause and add an item to the machine once it has started (without draining all the wash water out.) That seems stupid, especially because I believe all other brands do allow you to add an item on most cycles. (There are a few cycle on my LG that won't let you open the door after start because of higher water levels or water temperature.)
When Samsung came out with the mini port on the door of its washer I thought it was a silly gimmick since I believed you could pause any FL and open the door to add items. So I guess that mini port was a response to a Speed Queen deficiency. That and no heater. (Although a SQ will probably last two to three times longer than the Samsung.) | ||

If I had to choose... I'd go for the GE filter-flo or the Maytag centennial direct drive washer. | ||

If I had to choose... I'd go for the GE filter-flo with ramped activator or the Maytag Centennial direct drive washer - each with their matching dryers. | ||

My dream machines
I love my LG pair with the controls at the rear of the top and a detergent flap on top (no flimsy drawer!)...knock on wood, going strong since 2009. But...iI’ve wanted a Frigidaire Jet-Cone since the first time I saw one. Also a ‘66 RCA-Whirlpool like my grandmother had, and a slant-controll Whirlpool (avocado preferably), and I wouldn’t say no to a center dial Maytag. And for sure, a Hoover Twin Tub—little me was always utterly fascinated by the one on display at the local hardware store!

Dream Machine: Unitized Neptune with water heater. Most likely, given the limitations of my building: LG 2.7 cu. ft. combo.
