Thank you ! I have always wondered how these work .. I actually thought you have to crank it by the handle for the clothes to go through

Great to see wringer washers from different countries, those Speed Queens are like our Servis models here in Britain, very well made, longlasting and part of history, Cheers, Mike

I would rather use this than my modern washer.

I would simply love one of these.

"I really love these old washers....they work GREAT"........."now I'm gonna go put these in my new washer and rinse them".......yeah

Why is anyone interested in a ringer washer in the 1960's,? We had drip dry permanent press wash and wear clothes .. a long with special cycles in 1963 I think it was .Much easier way to do laundry.

I have one. No, I am not willing to part with it even though I don't use it very often. I keep it for emergencies and also because it's pretty to look at.

4 1/2 cups all purpose flour 3/4 cup dried milk powder 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 table spoons baking pdr 1 table spoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt Water as needed

Oh no no no don't overload , add more water for a good turn over, I am a 61 year old man, you fail by putting far too much in the tub, this strains the motor, I have a Bosch series 4, I don't have any issues with it, I don't overload I ensure a balanced load is put in, it's so darned quiet I have to go check it's on, spinning cycle is fantastic thanks

I love these my dad brought one home yrs ago I was so excited it was great. I still do like these. Brought back some childhood memories

You need more water!!! The clothes should roll over.

You could add a little pinesol or dish washing liquid to help degrease the clothes and not using cold with the greasy closes may also help, room temperature or warmer may help break down the grease. When wringing, you could try folding the clothes and sending them through more than once for more water removal.

When I was on the farm, I had a cow, milked her and made butter....Also having fresh milk... It was a wonderful life... Thanks so much for your podcast...

This brings back so many memories.... Thank you

Nothing cuts grease like adding a cup of ammonia to the wash, BUT, you better have good ventilation or you will nearly choke to death from the fumes. It rinses right out, however, so there is no residue. It takes a bit of getting used to, however, back in the day ammonia was the go-to for grease. I get the jug of "clear" ammonia at the grocery store.

I remember helping my gram with it! Cool.

just found your site and my mom and i really enjoyed this video..she remembers getting her forearm caught in the wringer as a young child..but she did say they worked wonderfully. we visit ohio amish country often and i do enjoy seeing them at the farms or shops..thx marie from canada

I live in Florida I'm 56 years old. I just saw a washer like this on a show called machines that made America. i was amazed I have a regular Maytag bought from Best Buy in 2016 (One of those energy water savers) I mean my machine has agatator. but most of them you buy today don't even have that. My machine makes clicking noise and my roommate said oh that is normal for the newer machines. The door locks when it's washing so I can't see what it's doing for the most part my close come out clean, But looking at your video you can clearly see even though some of the functions are primitive you can clearly tell the quality of cleaning was better back in the day. I was told Speed Queens are the best. Even with the model after that in the 70's or 80's with the plumbing and rinse cycle they are heavy duty. Mine with that clicking always sounds like it's going to break if you blow on it. Thanks for the video.

I do remember helping my mother with the washing. After watching this video, I have a new appreciation of what my mother did in order to do laundry for a family of eight! So glad I have a washing machine that doesn't use as much water or time.

I use dawn ×4 on stains

I used to help my Gran with a washer like this here in the UK. I would love to have another go at using one. In those days washing was done once a week not every day like these days. I’m sure they’re more environmentally friendly than today’s machines. I’d have another in a heartbeat. I see them for sale but don’t think parts would be available in the uk.

You don't need a machine that looks like the inside of an F18 hornet fighter jet

The More tech advances, the more many of us want to to stay with the old skool items

I remember as a kid i put my arm in the wringer to see how it felt. My stepsister did the same &still wears the scare. I dont have 1

Very interesting

Thanks for a very good video. I would like to get and old Maytag but out here in Sunny Arizona I haven't been able to find one. Any idea where I might be able to contact a Amish store where I might be able to find one?

I was born in 1948. Some of my earliest memories where being down in our basement with my mom helping her wash the clothes. What she had as far as I can recall was very much like yours. So, that was about 1951 or 1952. Thus, I believe your washer is about a decade older than you believe. In the early 1960's Mom had one of the more modern looking boxy square machines much like what we have today, and it was avocado green. I helped her put the clothes in the washer and pushed the button to turn it on. Then I pulled out the damp clothes as she ran them through the wringer. After the wash we went outside to hang the clothes in the sunshine. I will still do that to this day. But my machine is a front loader and modern.

Where can you buy one?

How did you drain the tub? I just bought one very similar. Need to get it going. You are the best part of the video. Old fashion , wholesome and gorgeous. Thanks.

If you're having so much trouble with modern washers, it sounds like you've been duped by WhirlPoop Corporation into buying various incarnations of their dreaded VMW top-loaders... Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, doesn't matter, they're all dreadful cost-cut tin cans with fake "agipellers" designed to appeal to American consumers who will buy anything with a flap on the top and a plastic prong sticking up in the middle 😂. There's a reason every front load washer outperformed every top load washer in cleaning performance and stain removal - more concentrated detergent *actually cleans better* than more water! Americans are so obsessed with making 70 gallons of tepid laundry-soup because when you use a 100+ year old design of washer that no other developed country uses (top loaders) you need that water to float the clothes around. It's not to clean, it's to float. Try a modern LG front load machine and you'll see why they're rated better by every independent review outlet - they not only save thousands in energy costs, they actually clean better.

I would absolutely love to have 1960 amazing washer.💝🤗

Where did you get please would like one

They're very durable... the best,my mother had one❤

The good ole days... life so simple and laid back

Great mix! Will have this on-hand from now on. Thank you, for sharing!

Helpful. Extremely useful info. Much needed advice for melennials like my self. 💣🙌🙌

I love this place. I live like 1 1/2 south of here…

Pardons, this be requested, by one other. Seeking a proof scientific, that who many freely accept be true. Albeit, none walk the path who be anothers. This revisited filmreel and comment: he be firstl met near March '99. A harsh repentir be made. It be earnestly hoped. That moment of meeting be not made again. Since, that place was a life's mesa. That was a driver's choice. And, the events who be a happenstance of a railroad's semaphore turnt near '78 or earlier. And, a few more forced turnings by dispatcher's. One of whom be touched, by the day's sincerity. And, that offered thereafter. The ironic recurrences since '03 or before and a renavigation. Who gradually shed the old and saw a fresh light's day. It be interrupted by those same folks unseen. Issuing demands without an conscious empathic or sympathetic inkling sparking. That same rising trail with a pale height be seen amid distant landmarks. It be dreamt that that meeting never be again. And, those who seek proof might those who firstly demaned, fully aware, that it might reach a possibly lethal terminus, for someone involved. Let, them meet what others have. Along with, he, she, and they: who be using such for financial, political, and other gain. Especially when, they be aware they truly be aware the long passed costs. And simply, they sincerely believe. The shall never be known. This might reached beyond these regional caches. It most probably should be more restricted. Engineering be what it be. And, the '09 - '13 visit upon a doorstep will resolve itself. One might consider returning any funds sent. As, a self-chosen levy whom covil courts did not demand? That be how life settles itself. When, other adults allow such. And, that sentiment, he offered a despised prosperity. And, such be not women, money, or those other carrits. Whom led one along a deathmarch, like Snow White's troupe. ? - TV

What a pleasure? It be remembered. When, an older cousin dared me. And, the digits on my left or right hand were caught. When, the rollers would not unwind. Oh, that hurt. Well, that be not so hard. On a youngster under five; who has small hands. That release would have been great on that Sear model. If, it were available. It be likely. It be not used, as a lesson. That be about a rememorable as the flatware in the vents of the old cathode ray tube television. All that be recalled was someone screaming lookout. The spoon patinaed quickly. Then, it flew across the room. The magnetism, bulbs, and something collided. Then, it launched, hit the wall, and left a permanent divot. Well that, it says that one cannot detect brightness; it be strangely spontaneous, at times. And, at nearly 54, this March '24. It be nice realizing. That something that old might still work reasonably-well. It ne believed. That old set rest on a second floor screened porch.

🤔 two rolling pins and what…….. wringing cloths out by hand is, rough to say the least. I don’t have a truck and log chain to drag my new washing machine across town, even when it works it only fills 1/4 the way up with water, literally you can’t wash much more than 3 days of outfits at a time. I mean you can but they’re ls still detergent on the cloths. The amount of hand scrubbing in the bathtub and sink I do is ridiculous, and all the washing machine around me are ‘HE’ highly exaggerated/high efficiency. Can’t find one like my old kenmore from the 2000’s 😢 it was built like an ol chevy

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love your Video sooooo much!❤❤❤ Such a neat washer machine. I too grew up doing it that way with my mom in Puerto Rico. She too would say watch your Fingers!! A lady in that neighborhood lost a whole hand because she wasn't careful. 😢😮 As an adult I really appreciate the simplicity and craftsmanship of these early model washer's. I agree with you that they should of never stop using them and producing them. My current highly advanced computerized washer is Garbages in comparison to these beauties. I want one of these really badly😢... Have fun washing in the closet washer ever😊❤️

Old my goodness I wish I still had one God Bless

My grandmother has a HOOVER AutoMatic 820 it's lasted over 40 years, and all the repairs it's ever needed is a belt and some duck tape over a rust spot.

My grandmother had a machine like that and I always wondered how it worked. Thanks for demonstrating it!

At a time, in the bustling city of Stankwell Falls West Virginia in the year 1908, a brilliant inventor named Louis Grabwell unveiled his latest creation to the world: the Grabwell Washing Machine. Standing proudly in his workshop, painted a vibrant shade of yellow with the Grabwell name emblazoned on the front, this contraption promised to revolutionize the way households handled their laundry. Unlike traditional washing machines of the time, which relied on manual labor or primitive mechanical methods, the Grabwell Washing Machine was a marvel of innovation. Powered by an outboard boat motor, it used this unconventional source of energy to propel its agitation, ensuring that clothes were washed with efficiency and precision. Louis Grabwell's invention quickly gained popularity among households across the country. Families marveled at the machine's ability to clean their clothes with minimal effort, freeing up valuable time for other tasks. Soon, the streets were filled with the cheerful hum of Grabwell Washing Machines as they worked tirelessly to keep laundry day a breeze. For over three decades, from 1908 to 1939, Grabwell Washing Machines became a staple in homes across America. Their yellow exteriors became synonymous with reliability and convenience, and the Grabwell name became a household name in its own right. However, despite their widespread use and popularity, the Grabwell Washing Machines faced a grim fate. In 1939, tragedy struck when it was discovered that the gasoline engines powering these machines emitted dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. As more and more households fell victim to this silent killer, authorities were forced to take action. In a heartbreaking turn of events, Grabwell Washing Machines were banned from use in homes across the country. Louis Grabwell, once hailed as a visionary inventor, found himself facing scrutiny and backlash for the unintended consequences of his creation. And so, the era of the Grabwell Washing Machine came to an abrupt end. Though they may have faded into obscurity, the legacy of Louis Grabwell and his yellow washing machines lives on as a cautionary tale of the dangers of innovation unchecked.

Watching this in 2024, I guess it came up in my feed as I’m usually looking up vintage audio and music equipment. I’m 47 so this is before me, though from old tv I’m aware. I think it’s great that you still use it! I still use audio equipment from the 80’s. It was way WAY better built, much easier to use and the only thing that stops me from using it FT is that other people aren’t. This computerized stuff is for the birds, damn cars putting the brakes by themselves, it’s just too much. If the internet died tomorrow half the population would be be clueless. If you can keep a good piece of vintage equipment working, why not? I’ll take old school all day.

I was fixing our early 2000s Maytag. Talking with my dad he mentioned wringer washers. Thats pretty cool.

Wow I thought twintubs was a faff but I'd rather go back to a twintub than use one of these

Interesting. I've seen those in junkyards, or wasting away on people's properties. Wondered how they worked. Too much work for my taste but glad to see they being preserved by some. I love my speed queen. I think I got the last model before they started using circuit board/computers.
