This is a real vintage classic. Considered to be one of the top performing washers of its time. Most new washers can’t hold a candle to these past work horses.
The rollover on that machine is the best I've ever seen. Almost instant suds too!
It is the chemical reaction that cleans. Not how many suds there are.
@@bsgarey It's a combination of several factors. Mechanical action being one of them.
Where's the agitator lid
Not sure how I got to this side of UA-cam, but I’m glad I did.
Thoroughly enjoying watching these vintage washers.
Loved seeing the vintage detergent used in a video too.
Absolutely fascinating
Eugene, thank you for posting this video. This was my mother's first automatic washer. Prior to that, she used a Maytag wringer washer. The Unimatic did an excellent job cleaning, especially my denim jeans and t-shirts.
What is it about these videos----I can't stop watching them. More, please!
This machine was designed and built in an era where we produced "Durable Goods!" Now we are in the time of "Disposable Goods!"
Love the unimatic. Now we need more ketchup tests in vintage machines!
Cool washer. I love the up and down wash motion. The speed of the spin seems faster than any washer on the market now. These machines were built to last. All metal parts no plastic. That's why they don't make them like this anymore. They'd go broke cause they never hardly broke down. Thanks for the post.
I love these machines! The old Frigidaire washers when made by general motors with the best machines ever made in my opinion! ❤💯
You should do ketchup test in a direct drive
"If it's gotta be clean, it's gotta be TIDE!"
My grandma had one of these ! Up until 1987 them bought a Maytag . These would clean really well ! That washer has good roll over action !
The couple of times I saw one of these machines running, my friend Austin was also using vintage laundry detergent. The machine was a beast, and everything came out SPOTLESS. Just like my Kitchenaid dishwasher, it prefers a more aggressive detergent. I’ve noticed detergents with enzymes do well with the dishwasher, and in limited experience it did very well in washers too.
Wish they still made the Unimatic.
I remember seeing something similar on TV in the early 90s that was shown as if it was some sort of innovation. Nope.
We had 1 of these machines back in 65; a great machine indeed. I used to call it a plung-a-matic.
That rollover, omg, even to this day, you just can’t beat these old classics
My mom had one of these when I was very young. This machine gets clothes clean.
Great washer but like GM cars of the time it is power thirsty. These had a 1hp motor with direct drive for the spin. They haul ass but it needs a solid 15amp circuit or better.
I like how it agitates after it finishes spinning on the coast-to-stop.
I want one of these so bad
me too
I've heard that these are pretty hard to find.
I think this machine would do better at stain removal if the detergent was changed. These machines came from an Era where the machine and the detergents worked together to accomplish cleaning in little time.
Gsohoover the EPA has done its best to neuter both the machines and the detergent, sadly!
@@compactc9 I'm old so I remember this stuff. It was in the early 70's when the EPA told the detergent manufacturers to 86 the phosphates from all products (detergents, dishwasher detergents and liquids for hand washing dishes).
the guy that runs the channel has some classic soap... phosphates n all.
Amazing washer. I could watch this all day!
How the hell does it drain so fast? 😳
Alex Lange the water disappeared in an instant
@agiflow But is must have a large pump!
The only vintage washer I find interesting.
Love it. If you come by a oldie but goodie please let me know. I would real love to have one. Great video.
Eugene, just a little more careful with the sound effect volume at the beginning text there! Yikes! :P
Not bad. But it looks like the transmission SQs still have the best results! This is why it's good for machines to not only give vertical action (rollover) but strong horizontal action as well! Did you try this in a direct drive yet? I actually forget.
That kind of agitation you describe was also Whirlpool's advertising when they came out with the slant back panels in the late 60's with the introduction of the SUPER Surgilator agitator.
Not only rollover but sloshing back and forth. The belt drive Surgilators certainly had that nailed.
Haha nice! Well, it sure worked well!
Wow that is a great agitation system!
Too bad they don't make machines like this. I think the agitation is really well designed.
This is great for an old machine.
Man I'd almost kill for one of these washes. I'd take it over any front loader, top loader that'd on the market now. Always loved the pulse agitation, and that spin speed is incredible. No other washer at that time and onward had a spin speed like that. A truly unique washer, could care less about the ketchup test as I would've added bleach
That washer was ahead of it’s time ! It’s sad today’s stuff doesn’t hold up as well as this
My only gripe is Tide pods. I can’t stand the way detergents like Tide and Especially Gain smell like toxic chemical perfume.
Wow.... Thanks for sharing.
Never ending turnover!!! VERY NICE!
Lint Chaser Ring should not be on that Pulsator. It's just not Original to that year. The ring below (Not Labeled) later to be named "circulator" was added the next years. I bet if you had used Persil and some Stpp and 5 minutes before the end before theOverflow Rinse started added a cup of Clorox, you might have had a better results. Unimatics clean incredibly well.
Go Persil!!
It’s not a pulsator it’s a agitator
Great ASMR video!
Hi Eugene, im gonna try this with my 1951 Unimatic with Persil and OxyClean, lets see what happens !
I want one! Amazing
wow that drains fast!! or did you speed the video during the spin drain? also looks like it has a real fast spin? pretty neat old machine
Yeah spin drain. Love that feature!
@@UrOpinionsSucc are these the machines that just sprayed all their water into the outer cabinet where it then got pumped out?
Spin speed is 1,140 RPM ... same RPM as the motor itself. This is a direct-drive design in a vertical orientation, the motor mounts directly to the bottom of the transmission, with the pump on bottom of the motor. The machine's cabinet is the outer tub (place a hand on the outside when spin starts, can feel the water hitting it from the inside).
@@eldoradoboy yeah something like that.
Lorain Furniture, I need you help BAD. I am a truck driver and should be visiting your shop soon, but I need help finding a Fridgidaire jet action machine from about the early 80's. Can you help?
LO MEJOR
Seriously, that's the washer of future!
No its from the mid 50s
Hi Eugene...... This particular washer. Fridgedare unisonec washer is it for sale?? When this machine goes in to spin.... Does gravity force the water out. Or is it a pump? Thank's Eugene!
How about a ketchup test in a "Super Roto Swirl" Kenmore? or one of the old straight-vane Kenmore 400 or 600 models, circa 1964?
That's really impressive. What's the oldest washing machine you ever got working?
Why is cap off? But i like unimatics
Now this an example of how a washer should clean clothes.
I can see why you Arent using normal soap the cap is gone
Do you have any of the old SQ units in your store (or know anyone who does?)
what camera did u use for this video?
what happened to the agitator cap that was to keep the water from shooting up the top.?
Same question here.
Too bad youre all the way in Ohio! I'm in Washington state! I would buy a washer from you if I could! Lol
This is a real Washing Machine.
Final spin dry is SPIN DRY!
Where can I put my fabric softener with thanks in advance
Don’t use fabric softener. It “softens” fabric by coating it with a oily, chemical filled residue. Don’t use dryer sheets either, because they can cause drier fires and contain phthalates, which are hazardous to your health because they can cause birth defects and potentially even cancer.
Edit: “coating” was originally misspelled “coding” so…
@@unconventionalideas5683 Exactly. I use Vinegar for softener which works very well and is 100% natural.
more of this washer please!! shame the HE crap machines nowadays are not capable of performing this good!
ummmm did the machine fart after it stop spinning
No, it's the torque spring unwinding
18:17 at 77 mph
super fast!!!
You seem not to like Samsung washers they seem to clean good
That's because they have shitty quality
Failsungs are nothing but trouble.
@@timsouttahere Exactly. Samsungs are junk. One neighbor asked me about fixing her front loader. I looked at it, and found the face plate wiped clean of all the important markings and indicators. So, you had to remember the position of the dial in relation to the cycle you wanted to select. Plus, the white plastic had yellowed and the dispensers were gunky. The Whirlpool Duet from Germany was a far better and longer lasting machine. I am hoping that Speed Queen discontinues their 2018 models and goes back to the proven system. Because then, they will be the only manufacturer left that makes anything decent.
LG is a better quality machine and has better results. Even though Samsung and LG are "sister" companies, LG quality is hands down better than Samsung. When my LG front loader goes out, I will either go with the 2019 speed queen, or another LG product.
@@ericpippen7915 And then, there are these old direct-drive Whirlpools and Kenmores that repair like Zippo lighters and last for many, many decades like the Frigidaire on this video. I don't think these new front loaders are made to be fixed. They are made to be replaced.

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
When washing machines did exactly what they are supposed to do......
Exactly, these washers cleaned Laundry.
From this video, it looks like the 2019 Speed Queen nor this machine is good at stain removal. I didn't expect much from this one but the 2019 Speed Queen is very disappointing.
How is the 2019 speed Queen disappointing??
