- This is a demo of a 1963 Maytag A700 washer at the "full" water level. I acquired it last summer, but now 7 months later, this is the first time I've hooked it up and used it. No leaks! Needs belts though.

Love the timer clicks.Always 💘 Mom's good 'ol Maytag.Miss it.Big time.
Whoever was the stylist designer for these machines just had a really good eye. They just look right... Clean, simple, correct. Even the tub and agitator are beautiful.
The things I love about the maytags is that they are just beautiful machines... the design is so clean, minimal and elegant. Even the inside of the tub and agitator... It's like the designer said, we want something that just says clean, hygenic,and durable.
My grandma had this exact model. I love the "click" of the timer as it proceeds through the cycle. I thought it was every 60 seconds (each minute - as minutes are displayed on the timer) so I learned something new. My mom always had Speed Queen and they made the same sound - ahhh, memories :-)
My grandma too!!!
I've rebuilt and sold a ton of these in my lifetime, well built and dependable
my mother has a pair of 1969 speed queen washer and dryer still works great after 46 yrs amazing how long they last and work so good
That machine has QUALITY written all over it ,
My 1976 Maytag washer is still going strong. Replaced the motor at one point, and a fill switch, but that's it. Looks and operates much the same as this one.
that is a sturdy machine! it will last forever
My Grandmother had a Maytag the she bought in the early 60s. It replaced her Maytag wringer washer that she and my grandfather bought when they were married in 1925! I remember being afraid of that wringer washer! I think my grandmother's new automatic Maytag was a BOL model. As I recall, temperature selection was determined by where the timer was set. Or maybe it was fill level. I'm not sure, but it was very basic. That Maytag lasted her another 25 years until she died. I think the only thing ever done to it was the replacement of the hoses.
Incredible suspension. The outer casing appears to remain utterly still. The English hotpoints cudnt manage that!! Nice post
Maytags had the most fantastic smooth as silk sound unlike any other washer.
When I was young my parents bought a Viking washer it had all the bells and whistles on it including a lighted control panel it was all pushbuttons except the the rotary dial for turning the machine on. We had it for about 14 years when it died.
Beautiful white noise from an excellent machine....
built in America with quality components. my 1969 maytag still humming along.
a happy sounding machine, beats the new stuff made by whirlpile
No leaks: excellent :-) fantastic vid :-)
you have a great washer keep it as long as you can don,t make them like it anymore
The spin cycle is spinning those clothes into the 7th dimension...
Speed Queen washers are still built like the Maytag in this video. The new Maytag washers (manufactured by Whirlpool) are 100% JUNK!
Amazing washer still going. Total quality back then now they are all plastic junk except Speed Queen. I had a Maytag in harvest gold sorry I got rid of it for a touchpad GE because I had to have a touchpad machine stupid mistake.
Nice washing machine for being almost 50!
My grandmother had a Maytag washer back in the 80s and never had a problem out of it that I can remember. I now have one that is 3 years old and have constant trouble out of it. I currently can only wash in bulky cycle because in normal, it will sense the clothes, tumble a little and shut off, not coming back on. I have to drain it and lose all the detergent. SUCKS.
Very cool washing machine
That's a great washing machine!
Why is it Maytag's with this type of washing action never produced massive amounts of suds? I used machines like this at a laundromat I went to when I lived in El Paso, and they never "sudsed out" no matter how much detergent I put in it.
Nope...I've used Tide, Wisk, Cheer, Gain and a few other non-low sudsing detergents in these machines and all produced the same result.
Good night gracie!
Awesome
Almost one half century old! One can only wonder if the machine will still work in 2063. By then global warming will have become so bad that the Cold cycle actually will be the Warm cycle.
really nice washer excellent shape where did you find that
My parents had a 1961 Maytag (model #, not sure) my sister took it when they moved and its still working for her. The matching dryer finally gave up in about 2004 (my guess is it was fixable, but it was a bit of an energy hog.
Exhilarating.
Why does it need belts? Seems to run just fine.
I never knew that timer advancement was every 30 seconds in these machines. Were there two increments of spray rinse at 60 seconds or a single increment at 30? Cool machine.
In dry mode, do you know the spins per minute??? Its a huge question for me!
Did you buy this washing machine new or used?
Woah Phil was right o-o
they certaintly dont make em like that anymore. my god though that uses alot fo water!
How do you get your whites so white when you put coloured stuff in too? And on hot! Your whites are whiter than mine and I only do only white washes! Yours was glowing
Kind regards

Cant beat a real washing machine. these new low energy water efficient ones are useless. they will be washing with air and dust soon!
year of 2011 or newest, top load washer are junk except of the speed queen!
The new washing machines are not built better,they are cheaply made and turned around and sold for a high price for example there are several videos on here where the newer machine's explode and use less water where the clothes don't really come clean compare to the older one's and who care's about being eco-energetic i like my clothes clean not to where they are torn too shreds by the newer machine's and the older one's will last longer!!!
Modern Maytag's are (Kenmore/Whirlpool) plastic junk!
The new ones are TRASH and you're lucky if you get 5 years out of them. How "eco-energetic' is that? Here's a 50 year old washer still going strong. DUHR!
I read you loud and clear. Theses so called New Washers tend to shredded your good clothes!
I must be bored if Im watching a guy wash his clothes on youtube
why would someone buy such an old washing machine? aren't the new ones better and more eco-energetic?
Sorry ...news one are built to break down old ones keeps were built to last.
