I'm not experienced with wringer washers at all.  How does one wash -- and rinse -- seven loads of laundry in a single tub of soapy water? 

Thanks for the info.  So a two-basin laundry sink is assumed. 

I can't say I'd find that whole process attractive.  At all.  Ever. 

And Martin is right, based on his description.  Seven loads per hour was a highly exaggerated claim.

I'll take two loads per hour where all I have to do is set and forget -- with a traditional top-loading automatic, that is.

I don't think I ever pulled 7 loads in an hour using 3 Maytag wringers at the same time (Wash/First Rinse/Final Rinse).

Wringers are fun to use for the occasional load or 2 but will drive a person bonkers in long term use.

In their defense, wringer washers did have their place and were beloved by many. 

I remember as a kid, visiting more than a few family-friends and relatives on their farms that had wringer washers, not always by choice.  Wells were expensive to drill, electricity was expensive to run the pump and it wasn't all that uncommon to have a well go dry in times of drought.  Sometimes the water from the well was so unsuitable for general use that it was good for little more than flushing a toilet which made even a wringer washer seem like a luxury.   Water was a precious commodity and still is for many even now.  An automatic washer that used many gallons of water was a luxury that one only saw in magazines and in homes of the "town" relatives.  

My grandmother had several automatic washers in her life but swore that her Maytag Gray Ghost washed better than any she'd used after.  "Wish I'd kept that.."

All that being said, I've had a few wringers in my collection over the years and have let them all go.  Too much work, too messy, too time consuming, the hands dry up and look like dehydrated claws, ugh! 

 Now, if a stainless tub SQ came rolling up the driveway, I wouldn't turn her away.  Never used one of those.
