Oh, you mean a REAL washer. Belt drive WP forever.
No washer built today can clean as well as this machine.
This is what a washing machine should be.
I can remember having a very similar model as a child. I remember standing on a chair with the lid open fascinated watch the wash cycles.
Why don’t newer top loads, even ones with agitators, have the recirculating water system anymore? That constant cycling of water is ingenious
Because it's not just a recirculating waterfall--- it's a lint filter. Today's washers have them, but they are self cleaning and you can't see them
When every household finally had a dryer the lint cartridge became obsolete as the dryer got the lint off of the clothes. Everyone liked how soft their laundry was. Personally, i love how there were no lingering odors because sunlight kills so many bacteria. Hanging laundry is my favorite way. I especially love how crisp my jeans are.
If I could find one I would buy it.
Now this is how a washer cleans clothes.
That whirlpool is washing them clothes.
Watching this machine work along with its rival, the GE filter flow never gets old.
i love my filter flo ge thats unbeatable as this whirlpool surgilator
If they don’t come out clean after that wash cycle then it’s best that you throw them in the garbage! Nothing will clean them better than that. Could you imagine an HE wash plate trying to do that?
the crazy US Government made regulation requirements on the newer equipment.
Actually LG did better on the whites lol
Is this better than the speed queen??
fargeeks I would think that there Comparable.
Alec Bailey LG did not even exist when this machine was one of the best washers around.
Here in Brazil they were made by Brastemp (Brazilian Whirlpool subsidiary), excellent washer!!! I'm looking for one Brastemp Super Luxo or Plenomatic to buy but it's difficult, who own one doesn't sell...
Acho que a brastemp sempre foi da Whirlphool apesar de ter gente que fala que passou a ser da marca só nos anos 2000

Brastemp washers have had Whirlpool mechanics since the late 1950s. Just in smaller cabinets. Here in the U.S Whirlpool made 24"wide as well as 29" wide washers.
@@patcola7335 nice
Great job Eugene. Thank you ! Classic Whirlpool at their best !
Great machine! Whirlpool had it right ! Back then ! Now they are crap
Eugene, I owned this same model of Whirlpool washer. After many years, the transmission failed. Best washer for the money. Thank you for sharing the video.
PLEASE bring these back!!!
Hi I live in the UK and we always have front loader's, A front loader will wash just as well, but is this rough action on your clothes doing damage and wearing them out quicker!!,
Do you think the engineers who made this were ignorant ? These machines were among the best .
We have always had front loaders in the USA since the first fully automatic was a front loader , but Bendix tied up the patents on things like the suspension and many manufacturers had to work around that .
Besides all that, the progression to the automatic was a natural switch from the wringer washers that were prevalent before manufacturers ramped up automatic production after the war .
Traditional top loaders cleaned better than front loaders for decades according to Consumer Reports over here. So there was that. Besides we as Americans don't want to wait all day for laundry to get done.
We also had traditionally bigger families here than in the UK or Europe so I'm sure that probably played a factor as well.
.
The high sudsing detergents we had here were no help in the early days when synthetic detergents were being introduced.
Front loaders just never really gained popularity over here until relatively recently.
@@alextilson5809 silly about what limey ?
@@patcola7335 What a laugh, Limey, If it was not for the British Empire America would not have been discovered and you would not have had such great presidents and you would not be speaking english, you could have ended up speaking korean or mongolian so there you have it
@@alextilson5809 ...I love the Brits being I have ancestry from there....there has always been a love/hate relationship with the Brits...hate is a little strong....maybe just arguing cousins.....that sounds better 😁
@@patcola7335 👌❤
Now that's when Whirlpool was a Whirlpool. The only weakness was the slow spin speed.
Their spin was not slow. Remember we are talking 1970's & 80's. Over 500 rpm's.
The tubs were wider in these machines also.
In Brazil Brastemp luxo
Very nice. What a beautiful beast.
SUPER SURGILATOR AGITATOR!! THE BEST!!
This particular three vane was the greatest!
@@LlyleHunter YES!!
same agitator Brastemp super luxo!
Smart like two colleges you are Eugene!By adding bleach five minutes into the wash you excite the detergent's enzymic and molecular action boosting performance beyond a standard bleach application.
Bruce Solomon actually bleach denatutates enzymes
that is why it is suggested to add it at the end of the wash. because if you add it at the beginning you lose the enzyme action.
The rule of thumb was to add the bleach 5 minutes after the wash cycle begun.
Omg please bring these back, that's amazing, best agitation ever wow!
Why does the water pour in from the side while its washing ?
Jenna Black it's a lint filter.
Lazy Menace Gaming Oh thank you, wow does it continue to filter the entire wash cycle ? It's refreshing to watch the water pouring out lol
Jenna Black yes it does. I think it's the water from the wash tub. It pours it out. While all the lint is in the filter. Pretty neat huh?
Lazy Menace Gaming yes it is very neat! I just bought a Kenmore (Lg) front loader and I wish I could say I was satisfied but I long for this good old fashion agitator!
Jenna Black Old school will always be the best. I have a maytag front loader and it's been washing clothes like a champ. Though i do miss the Hotpoint filter-Flo i had back then.
Good solid machines. A little fussy to repair in its installed situation. But I do like them.
Can anyone please tell me where I can buy the vintage white Agitator and cap for my whirlpool top load washer. I live in Australia I can't buy those parts here anymore because whirlpool brand isn't made in Australia anymore so I must look elsewhere for these parts
Oh this is so satisfying! I need this washer.
sounded exactly like my old green washing machine. except yours is white
Excellent machine... Fantastic washing action... These type of vintage washing machines were the best... I really miss them.. They got clothes clean the first time and they got stains out too... H E washers don't allow enough water for the detergents to work, and No water is being forced through the fabrics to get them clean either...
The vintage Whirlpools and Kenmores sound freakin' amazing
Great video! Would you happen to know the cubic feet size of a Whirlpool washer model LA 5700XM? I can't find any info online - it's from around 1985. Thanks, Frank
Early-Mid 80s washer.
This was the first ever automatic washer sold in Brazil through Brastemp, which some years later became Whirlpool's brazillian branch.
Muita gente fala que a brastemp foi vendida pra Whirlphool nos anos 2000 e que antes era comandada pela Multibrás. Acredito que a Whirlpool já era dona da Multibrás ou pelo menos tinham uma parceria.
Isso porquê se for analisar essas lavadoras são praticamente idênticas a brastemp de antigamente (antes de 2000), e de algumas dos Eua até a mecânica é muito parecida. Se elas não tivessem algo a ver seria plágio ter máquinas idênticas de marcas "diferentes"
Do a blanket with two pairs of jeans
I'm not even sure that would fit. In one of the previous videos he said it has only 1.95 CuFt of capacity.
GarageDoorGuy89 yes it will fit. I have a ff from GE
We had this same washer when I was a little kid in the late 70's. I used to play with the lint filter lol. I remember staring at that Whirlpool logo too!
Does the clothes turn over?
Several times
As Pat would say “ Like dolphins at SeaWorld.”
THEY DONT MAKE WASHERS LIKE THIS ANYMORE EVERY THING NOW IS WEAK AND SAD PLEASE TELL ME WHERE CAN I GET ONE?.
I want 1. We had a WHIRLPOOL that lasted well over 30 years.
@@818Dimples Craigslist, Ebay, the curb, sometimes people make videos on UA-cam of vintage appliances there selling. Keep an eye out and good luck! Dont buy new junk it's actually not more efficient
A good sense second hand appliance store
