Here is an example of an automatic impellar washers, except this one spins:
I know of twin tubs, and stand alone impellar washers, but all of them are manual fill and drain, and those with an electric drain pump require the user to manually set the washer to drain. I'm thinking of one that is fully automatic. |

I could not agree more EEMac! I love, love the washer in this video. I wish there were full size versions of this machine. From very BOLs, to TOL programmed cycle washer. 80s Hotpoint font would have made everything all the more better.
Manufacturers could easily build a machine like this today at minimal cost. They already have the wash plates, motors and drive mechanisms in place to do so. The solenoid and a brake band used on Whirlpool portables could would rid of the lid locks, and a slightly smaller impeller could remove the gears from inside the VMW mechanism. If anything reliability would go up. @cfz2882: Can you post pics of the Haier in your collection? You make a perfect real world example of why electronics should not be in these simple washers, or really any washer for that matter. A good Midwest timer is all you need and will last for years without trouble or none sense. And you hit the nail on the head- people fall in love with PSC motors when they try them. They are simple, durable, economical, efficient, cool running, can be reversed/cycled many times, accelerate slowly without a clutch when putting a basket into spin, and no centrifugal switch to fail- among a laundry list of other advantages. |

Avanti has been selling fully automatic impeller washing machines in USA for ages.
www.avantiproducts.com/pr... Black and Decker branded machine... Magic Chef branded... For various reasons fully automatic top loading washing machines using impeller instead of central beater have long been popular in Asian countries. As with the GE ,Hotpoint and other sort of machines of old that landed in North American markets, most of modern offerings either come from Asia, and or are based on their designs/technology. Impeller washing machines long have been considered easier on laundry than using central beater. Hence reason you see such designs going back to semi-automatic washing machines. There is also by removing central beater allows greater tub capacity. This being said at least in many parts of Asia these machines aren't without issues. Japan and many other Asian countries laundry is done in cold water, and these washers lack heaters. Even hooking a washing machine up to tap hot water can be an issue because many laundry areas lack dual taps. Some resort to installing washer close to bathroom where hot water can (hopefully) be found. Consequence of doing washing in cold water, and leaving lid of washer down is tendency of machines to get a whiff after awhile from being fouled by mould growing inside. Hence there is a vast and bewildering array of antibacterial/disinfecting products sold in Japan and elsewhere. These washing machine "cleaners" are meant to cope with said issues. |

I so wish they would do that. I have a old but bullet proof 2003 G.E. Harmony washer that is still going never a problem with it but the stupid options are madding .. If I use mixed clothes setting there is never enough water . I know this is a eco washer but how can clothes get clean if half of them are dry and don't get wet , I have found clothes at the end of the wash that has tide still on them. There is no low ,med , high water button . I have gave up and wash everything in blankets that make the machine fill all they way up . Damn that washer is almost 20 years old it just hit me. |
