- Always wanted a KitchenAid washer and now finally have one when I wasn’t looking for it. Praise JESUS. He is risen !
Edit:
This video took a day and a half just to upload it once I was in a place with more cell towers. It finally picked up.
I must’ve been distracted because I did not realize that I set the machine for an extra rinse because I could not understand why the fabric softener did not empty…oops again ! - Розваги
These are some of the best direct drives Whirlpool ever made. I like how most Kitchenaid direct drive agitators have bigger bases that turn the slower delicate agitation speed into a strong heavy duty speed.
This is an absolutely gorgeous machine, in beautiful condition. What a coincidence that I found the KitchenAid that I've been hunting for over a decade, and it just so happens to be the one I grew up with. It makes me happy to see several new videos popping up of similar machines being given new homes.
Thanks ! You know up until just a few years ago i didn’t see too many videos of KitchenAid washers operating. It’s great to see more videos of these thanks largely to Eugene (Lorraine Furniture) doing several videos.
I wasn’t even looking for this machine . I just happened to be in the area of an appliance parts place I get my parts from and needed to get a new drain pump. By the grace of God I saw it through the window before I walked in. The guy told me it was sitting there for three months because younger folks will pass these machines up for the newer stuff. Fine by me. More for us !
Anyway, I always wanted a KitchenAid since I first saw these in the late 80s with the five vain blue sure-scrub agitator. Those machines just exuded quality. Whirlpool’s direct competition to Maytag.
Dude! Don’t get rid of that washer! That is a rare gem!
Thanks Scant. Always wanted a KitchenAid. I mean, yeah I would’ve liked one of the earlier ones with the chrome panel, but this is still a KitchenAid no matter what year. This washer is a keeper.
I had this washer along with the matching dryer back in the early 2000's and it did an awesome job cleaning everything!!! I wish they still made this machine today because I would definitely get this set again... Thanks for the video agiflow, God Bless and have a great day... Bob
You are very welcome and thanks for the kind words !
Awww, a Kitchenaid. It's an adorable washer.
I'll be quite honest. While it's nice, I think I actually like the Whirlpool Gold better
@@patcola7335 Growing up I didn't hear too much about KitchenAid because I was a huge fan of Kenmore and Whirlpool. But now that I've seen this washer in action I like the slow agitation (which I heard is fast agitation on this washer). Now that you have this washer what is your honest take on it. What do you like about the washer and what don't you like about it.
Beautiful machine Pat! Looks to be in excellent condition. Performed flawlessly!!!
Thanks Matt ! This washer performs very well so far. Gentle wash action..BUT can’t swap agitators like I can a regular direct drive. You NEED that big base for effectual turnover at the slow speed.
I wish washers were still made like these you bet if I had the chance I'd buy that model right now if I could
I believe this has the larger agitator base in it if I am not mistaken.
Yes, it certainly does Sean.
Always dilute liquid softener with warm (or hot) water, even in the dispenser.
@@DADoESofTX it’s funny because I usually do with the agitator mounted ones
Very nice job, yes, definitely a big load.
I need to give this thing an actual thorough cleaning around the dispensers and the lid
@@patcola7335 you will get there a little by little.
Final spin on Perm Press may step through all three motor speeds.
@@DADoESofTXNice. Dadoes do you know if these last KitchenAid washers still had the premium features of the Allier models ? Like were the cabinets zinc coated until the end of production ? The lid and top of this machine feels substantial.
A real washer people 💪
Nice! I love the sounds it makes during washing!
Edit: could you do a medium load of sweaters or something on the sweaters fabric select (low/high) with the permanent press cycle on the dial?
I can run a small is load since I don’t really have any sweaters
@@patcola7335 alright that’s fine
@@pony7124 getting ready to record the video now for you.
@@patcola7335 okay thanks!
that machine is cool
Ty
@@patcola7335 you're welcome
It can easily handle a few more items.
Hi ! That’s what I had for that load. I was talking to another friend about the very same thing.With that big agitator these things could be loaded up. Just not overloaded.
Yes a kitchenaid washer
Wanted one of these since they first came out in 86-87
very nice very nice awsome performance
Thanks Dom !
@@patcola7335 yup it uploaded at 1230 today
Please please please!!! Do not remove the agitator in this one! I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never liked the Straight Vane agitators. It just looks like they’re too rough by twisting back and forth and not circulating around like the dual action ones.
The straight vain agitators are fine. I won’t switch the agitators in this. This needs that big base to work on the slower speed and have effectual turnover..
If you have the 2nd rinse option selected, it'll dispense the fabric softener during the 2nd rinse.
I didn’t realize I had set it for the second rinse. It’s nice to know it does that though.
Where’s the high speed agitation?
The high speed agitation is this first video I did with the full white load. These KitchenAid washers “Fast” speed is actually what would be low on a Whirlpool direct drive. The agitator base is much bigger than the standard agitators in Whirlpool or Kenmore machines. As you can see it takes up nearly the whole bottom of the tub. This is the fastest it goes.
It was not needed on KitchenAid models because of the larger fins of the lower agitator. The low motor speed for a Whirlpool/Kenmore is actually the high/normal agitation for a KitchenAid. The result is a quieter, more gentle yet thorough wash, and overall less strain on the transmission and agitator cam/dogs so long as the machine was never overloaded. If this agitator or the original turqoise version is ever transplanted into a WP/KM variant, it has to be a model with a speed control switch so that it's never set to fast speed, because it will ruin the transmission.
@@kingofspades531 Ok
@@kingofspades531 congrats on your KitchenAid washer !
@@kingofspades531 The transmission won't be ruined by running the larger KA agitator at high motor speed. There's no difference in the gears or materials of the transmission of a KA compared to other direct-drives. The motors on the KA models are the difference, with more robust windings and a stronger capacitor.
Nice machine but looks like it uses an enormous amount of water.
@@Martindyna So what ? It's a blessing of God to have the water to use. For the amount of clothes that's in there, there's nothing wrong. I don't know why people panic over the use of water.
@@patcola7335 So what …. Because it means a lot of energy to heat the water & a lot of detergent.
@@patcola7335 I'm not anti top loaders per se. For example the first GE top loading Automatic introduced in 1947 had a sealed inner drum which in itself saves a lot of water (the outer tub doesn't need to fill) but also it could save the hot soapy water for the next load of clothes.
@@Martindyna Yes those early one did. Many early automatic advertised how they had ways of saving sudsy water.
@@Martindyna …but I’M the one who pays for that energy which is pretty cheap….so far.
This is overloading not good for machine it will put a strain on it .The agitator not moving very fast
@@sebertstover2788 No this is not overloaded.As you can see it turning over fine.
That is the normal speed the agitator runs for a KitchenAid washer.
It actually could’ve fit more clothes in it, but I didn’t have more clothes to put in
