I can't believe i just sat here and watched someone do their laundry for 7 minutes. I think i could listen to you talk about anything, you have such a soothing quality!
My Granny used a Maytag like this one. She did her laundry out on the porch. Wonderful memories! So glad you are reviving the art of washing clothes in a wringer washer!
That's the way to do it! Nothing washes really dirty clothes cleaner than a manual washer. I still use a clothes-line to dry as often as I have the time to do it.
You’re one of the first I’ve seen on Y.T that used the machine correctly. Soaking dish towels in a bucket..thought I was the only one! 😂 Don’t forget to set the rollers apart when not in use!
O my gosh-- your fine video raises many good topics-- I don't know where to begin, could write a very long comment. Will just say way to go! You are right👍 congratulations on your good sense (which many people seem not to have). Modern washers-- expensive, stupid front loaders, leak, stink, mold, slow, on and on. Why do people do this?!! Give me an old washer any day. Thank you 🏆🙂👍
I bet that machine lasts another hundred years! You are so right about people not knowing their worth anymore these days. Too many folks are so hooked on their phones that there don’t look up anymore. Especially the kids. They all sit there hunched over staring at the tiny screen while it’s a beautiful day outside. They are all sick and have diabetes before there turn ten years old. I miss the days we grew up in
I have one. I love it. If it had a new power cord, I would spend the entire day doing my laundry and hanging it to dry if I could. I love my Maytag so much, that someday I hope to have the old girl repainted and the motor rebuilt. There's nothing like it
Thanks for posting this. I love the truthfulness of the commentary. Just shows how far backwards we can go with government regulation. They think they are saving water. However, when the modern washing machine basically just plays with the wash instead of working out all the dirt and grime you are wasting time, electricity and water whenever you have to run the same loads multiple times. Thanks again!!
Fun to watch the wash process, especially with someone well experienced on one of those beautiful examples of American manufacturing, from many years ago. Gee, I thought my 1984 Maytag laundry set was old! I bought them new, never touched a screw on the washer since the day I connected it. The Maytag gas dryer finally needed a belt 3 yrs ago. Except for that, and regular cleanings, no other repairs so far. Maytag quality, before imported parts infiltrated our country. Thanks for sharing your classic Maytag. “…watch your fingers” my grandma used to say to me as I watched her use a Maytag similar to yours.
I totally agree with what you said about people nowadays not knowing how to do things. About a month ago, I asked my video gaming son to remove our old kitchen counters, put in temporary plywood counters, and put in some new drywall in a few places in our kitchen. He has helped a lot over the years with various handy man things but has never done much on his own. Since then he has mentioned three times what I said to him on that day, and I know he mentioned it because it was a source of pride for him because he did it completely by himself. What I said to him was "You're on your own, figure it out." And he did. And we were both proud of him.
When I was a kid, I helped my grandmother wash clothes in this type of machine. We rinsed our clothes on a concrete style washboard. Sometimes we took clothes to the river and washed our clothes on large stones. I am grateful I grew up learning and enjoying to do things for myself.
I was raised on a wringer washer and we also had a twin rinse tub. Then we would hang the clothes to line dry even in Utah winters. I thought it was cool when my Dad bought a Kenmore Washer and dryer and save the effort. Now 60 years later I want to go back to that way of doing clothes but can't because of where I live now.
I've always enjoyed the personal involvement of the old washing machines. I have a modern Hoover front load automatic which is fine if you don't want it done quickly. It leaves you free o go and do something else, but the old Hotpoint twin tub was an enjoyable experience. It was quick, did a great job and was fun to use. I bought an old 1970s one a few years back from ebay and after having a small repair job 2 weeks ago I did a wash with it last week. I did my bed sheets and pillow case, then a large bath towel and 5 hand towels. the whole lot were washed, rinsed, spun dried and out on the line in 35 minutes - clean and smelling great from the old Persil soap powder I used. A real blast from the past with a happy ending too
Believe it or not, the wash times Maytag recommended was 3 to 5 minutes for colors, 3 to 5 minutes for whites, 5 to 10 minutes for heavily soiled items like work clothes and such. Btw, see you have a harvest gold Maytag A806/ DE/DG808 in your profile picture :)
Nice Maytag Wringer square tup. The only thing is your pressure knob up top needs to be engaged . Turn it to point towards you. Then you will get a more efficient wringing. For delicates or button shirts leave as is. Happy Washing .🌀👋🏽
@@Loadofwash No pun on you. I'm not sure if I'm saying this right. But first let me say that your video is very Nice . Washy . The @rt of washing with textiles has been lost in America. Not All. As your video brings laundering fun and hands on as well as getting your loads together with like colors and fabric types. And efficient for sure on water and soap. I'm and appliance enthusiast . Since I was a very young and my aunt said holding me in her arms I would be mesmerized by the water action of agitators. Which yours is very unique in color stainless aluminum it seems. The famous skinny pole piece with those 4 lines that Leeds to those patented massive dipped in VANES starting from the inner bottom and that line moves up med high Creating a semi long tipped L pointed up shape Fin vane . There first patented GYRO*FIN™ 4 . MASSIVE TIPPED UP FINS . Which makes the water CURL HARD at the edges of the SQUARE TUB models. As well as round tub models. There where in a bakelite black color ...and a red one ...and the plastic baby blue. Last production I heard a Tan one was presented. That agitator as thin as the column is those VANES CAN MOVE WATER LEFT AND RIGHT AND with GOOD ROLLOVER ! with the right water level and NO OVER FILLING. That agitator was in my grandmothers one cycle Matag. Looked small in a withe porcelain basket. Lol. But it it was a staple in the house for over 18 yrs. Then went with a classic Wig Wag 3 cycle Kenmore. Then the round tubs had them also. I owned one Maytag Square tub that had the crests fully placed in silver M A Y T A G . Letters you could see and feel. Then they started printing the name . Those models where produced still in 1982 -84. before the complete stop of that series production. The Amish where fans of that model especially converting them to gas powered engine So my question to you is the top of the wringer there's a to tipped long knob up top. I was saying when you turn the knob at the ends that should swing half the turn pointed to you . And that's in full pressure mode for wringing regular cottons towels jeans t shirts and socks . Much drier then it not engaged. Is what I was saying. So I'm not sure if where on the same place..feel me..? But I LoooVe that you hang out clothes. Your white line looks so Nice . And they smell like heaven on earth . Especially sheets . We did not use the dryer much in the summer. Except for socks and underwear. Sometimes maybe a couple. There's to many to hang . Lol So stiff towels.. jeans ..socks.. even using fabric softener for outside . Still might have a roughness to the garments . So I transfer them to the dryer on a med to low heat for 10 mins. And bamm there just as soft and feels perfect. The same with the others I mentioned. That's the only time we use timed dry . And for De Wrinkling t shirts.. polo shirts..jeans.or whatever. It is good for that. Or something is not dry enough. Automatic dry is the best . For full efficient drying. But I think THAT THE Whole country would benefit from hanging clothes out . And not make it horrible because one hangs clothes in the city . Or making it a low class way of drying goods. I hope to see better lines and poles and nicer looking drying lines . By manufacturers . Saves in dryer Wear... Clothes wear... and efficient on savings gas or electric. Well I collected washers and still have a full interest in and how machines change and see the latest in wash technology. Some for better or worse. I like all machines excellent to the worst. Please check out my machines on RUclips under Paykelboy. If you like. Thanks for listening and reading. Perhaps. H@ppy W@shing 🌀💦
@@Loadofwash Hello no response... That is disappointing. Anyway I just want to say that the wringer was not CLAMPED DOWN for pressured wringing. I see a lot of Maytag owners by pass the essential method of pressure wringing . And this is on GE ..SPEED QUEENS .. KENMORE ..wringers . There's are knobs for setting pressure. It's hard to find manuals for these late machines. But Automatic Washer should help. A great site as well . Peace. 👋🏽🍃
Good concept though I wouldn't reuse the soapy water. I'm the crazy one that always does a double rinse cycle as I do not care for soap residue. I rather do smaller loads and use clean water. Also, washing powder or liquid is better than the pods that create microplastoc residue in the water system. Some of us just clean differently... as long as it does the job and you feel comfortably with it, then it's all cool...
I think I actually saw a machine like that once many years ago. I think it was in the backyard of an abandoned house. It had leaves on it. I opened the lid and it looked exactly the same as yours. If I remember right the wringer had cracks all over the rollers due to age and exposure to the elements. Ironically around 2006 in Overton Texas I actually saw a new washer that was round and had a wringer and a lid you lifted off in an appliance store. The salesman said it was made in Mexico and that yes, some people actually preferred machines like those.
Long ago we had a wash board and a tub then went to a wringer washer and a rinse tub to a wringer washer to two rinse tubs and then to a portable auto washer which hooked to a sink faucet that washed and then rinsed . To today's crazy automatic washing machines that lock up and go nuts and cost a small fortune etc Last I checked a "Wringer washer" can run anywhere from $350 to near a thousand dollars depends on condition, A worn out non-working one is even hundreds of dollars.
We used to have a Westinghouse top loader with suds saver function. It saved heaps of water and time. Why this feature is no longer available on top loaders I don’t understand.
You'll need a laundry sink adjacent to the washer to hold the saved wash water during the rinse cycle. I don't know of any new washer with recirculating pumps for lint removal, another great idea that used to be universal.
I know electric dryers are so convenient but they will never compare to hung out clothes that dried in the outside air, especially sheets. It's kinda pitiful not even any country folk I know hang their clothes out anymore. But when I get my own little spot of land that's exactly what I'm going to do.
My father was skeptical when I said I wanted a clothesline in the backyard . We live in a suburban community of perfectly manicured lawns so he was worried it wasn’t allowed . But we don’t have an HOA and our state outlawed prohibiting clotheslines . I’ll often hold onto laundry so I can hang it all out on a nice day .
Farmers' Furniture doesn't seem to have access to that model. Superior washing action, but I'd rather use a tumble dryer because of dust, pollen, insects, and other animal activity. Nothing nastier than finding bird droppings when you're taking clothes off the line.
Im apprenticing to be an appliance repair technician. The newer machines are dumber and dumber. I couldn’t believe how little water they use and you dont have a say! It senses the load as opposed to you choosing the water level. I need to get me one of these beauties!!!
I can't believe i just sat here and watched someone do their laundry for 7 minutes. I think i could listen to you talk about anything, you have such a soothing quality!
Love it. A sense of worth and accomplishment. Better than a front loader. Great voice too. Very relaxing.
My Granny used a Maytag like this one. She did her laundry out on the porch. Wonderful memories! So glad you are reviving the art of washing clothes in a wringer washer!
Maytag made machines like this up until 1983!

Loved our wringer washer. We used it outside, fill with a hose right by the clothes line. We used the rinse water to wash the next load.

I believe the water extraction of a ringer is equivalent to 250rpm in a washing machine, modern-day machines spin around 1200rpm

3, maybe 4. They’re usually partial loads. Believe it or not, this is how the washing used to be done - with rinse tubs. lol
