Does a even better job knowing you can select a gentle wash with fast spin :). For whatever reason, Whirlpool never really offered that on their TOL machines, only own that is like that is the TOL Mark 18 made between 1976 and 1978.
I miss the older washers, 24 going on 25 and I know what a quality washer is but sadly most people my age don’t really care then start complaining when their latest and greatest washer is having issues from the get go. I’ll keep my machines which have a proven track record.
@@seana806 I like that washer and the 80s version and the Dependable Care washer. Quick question: did Speed Queen get their ideas from Maytag?? Because I noticed that the older models from the 80s look exactly like Maytags.
@@seana806I almost never use the slow agitation with a fast spin. I just don't see the necessity for it. If I'm washing delicates then I wouldn't want a fast spin speed.
@@andrewg593 if you think about it, if you have to dry something for longer, it will cause more fabric wear since the friction of it rubbing will cause more wear. Usually, the less time something spends in the dryer, the less fabric wear.
@@seana806While that is true, some items don't retain enough water where the spin speed would make much if any difference. Many delicate items don't benefit from a fast spin and I always spin my bed sheets on slow speed because there's just no reason to spin them on high speed. They're not heavy enough to spend extra time in the dryer. Also if you're line drying an item, it may not make sense to spin it on fast. I could get by with fast agitate/fast spin and slow agitate/slow spin. I very seldom use slow agitate/fast spin.
@@andrewg593 I might run a stop watch to see if there’s any difference in drying time with a slow spin vs a fast spin. Willing to bet it’ll dry faster with a fast spin. Another reason I do a fast spin is the high limit safety thermostat in the electric HOH models is quite sensitive, even with a upgraded 180F-40F thermostat (some models came with a L155-20F or L170-20F thermostat) it’ll kick off the heating element and that’s with good unrestricted airflow and a lint screen cleaned after each load.
I'm just glad I am not the only one that enjoys a old school machine at it's best. You Hear Me..
I can listen to these operate all day long. Never get tired of listening to them go through the various cycles and such.
These machines always did a great job, regardless of what cycle was chosen.

Anyone else miss the days when they didn't have this HE water saving garbage that results in most modern machines not cleaning that well?

Yes I do!
Very nice wash action.
Good washer 😊
Thanks! Will be many more videos of this machine over the upcoming months.

DUH OF COURSE that's why the competition begins between them @@erg844
Thanks for my request! But, next time try this again with the slow spin option to see what that’s like
Maybe, but probably won’t dispense all the fabric softener plus, it’ll take longer to dry with a slower spin speed.
@@seana806 you could use no softener and once the video is done, do a faster spin.
@@seana806The fabric softener dispenser should work fine with a slow spin speed.
@@andrewg593 doesn’t really work with the power fin agitator since there’s some still leftover in the fabric softener cup afterwards.
@@seana806That's odd. I figured the dispenser should work properly no matter the spin speed.
Can you do a cycle in this machine with a slow spin?
Possibly, but it won’t spin all the water out increasing drying time.

Twenty minutes. Compare that to a one and a half hour HE machine.
Usually Maytags get done fairly quickly when you are washing smaller loads of laundry with a warm wash and warm rinse.
