Hi. I had an GE, old school, one speed V-14 it ate shirt buttons, but shirts came out as sparkling, they use a lot of water, and no internal heater. FL are just better machines, eg AEG, Miele, Bosch, Bauknecht.
Back when washers used to get your clothes clean! And you were in charge of the washer the washer was Not in charge of you.! I miss these washers. Nowadays washers have so much Overkill
The GE washers and dryers of this era were tanks, and probably in more American homes than any other brand. My parents had the matching dryer and it lasted decades.
My grand uncle was an engineer for Maytag, out of Newton Iowa, and designed the first straight vaned dolly. The Dolly is that twisting spindle in the center of the tub. There's been hundreds of copies and a few improvments sice those days.
I just picked up an 80 series Kenmore washer from 1999. Any washing machine made after 2010 is complete garbage and won't last long. Now that it's 2019 is your beautiful washer still working? Please let me know :)
When I was a kid we had a 1992 model. That thing had great agitation even when it was overloaded. We unfortunately got rid of it in 2004 when we moved. I really miss that machine!!!
When we bought the house in 1990 there was a washer as seen in this video along with it's dryer. To this day, even after tearing down the old house, we are still using this washer daily. The dryer took the trip to the metal collector but I must admit the 86' GE Heavy Duty (looks identical to one in video) is a real good deal. The only problem is sometimes when I've got a large load I'd need to go down and move things around because the thing would move all of the cloths or rugs to one side and start banging like nuts.
I had a 1993 model and it could clean anything from lingerie and delicates to the dirtiest blue jeans. We got rid of ours and bought another GE matching pair in 2001. The one after the filter-flo sounded and felt cheap compared to the one before it. Granted, it could clean anything too.
McCormick Norris Liquid and powder detergents are each better for different types of stains. Powder is much better at getting whites white (because you can’t have oxygen bleaching agents in liquid detergent, because the other ingredients degrade it, whereas oxygen bleach in powder form is stable), while liquid is better at things like grease. So using a bit of each often gets the very best results; it’s what I do with my whites and lights.
Such a memorably characteristic sound if you had one growing up - the rather echo-y water fill noise, followed by the agitation which begins in a lower, "slow" gear for a second, before it moves to the faster normal agitation. I'm sure we all remember the percussive sharp "double tape" noise of the transmission brake when the spin ended or was interrupted.
super filter flo!!!!! The absolute best washers of all time, Pity they stopped making them. These are now collector items. It you have one, hold on to it!
Jackie S They have been extinct in Europe for forty years. Most people have never seen one. Front loaders wash better, use a fraction of the water, spin faster so reduce drying time, use less electricity, heat their own water so more economical, can do a genuine boil wash, use less detergent, are quieter, take up less space, can go under a counter. There is literally no reason to continue to use top loaders, century old technology that was surpassed decades ago.
@@theclueguy3388get a high efficiency unit. The amount of water you safe from The unbelievable. They also will dry your clothes better as they spin faster thus speed up drying times and saving you on electricity. The capacity is also a larger as well. I would ditch the agitators.
I remember repairing these washers. From replacing the transmission with the boot and 2 clamps to the water pump held above the motor/clutch assembly with the web in the middle. Great washer from then. Definitely dont make them like that today.
When I started working on these years ago the other service men would tell me they didn't like working on G.E. Washers because they were too complicated Me myself I think the worse thing to fix were those Clamshell Timers
@@martinbirdwell7986 Those cosmetic shells sucked working on. You had to disassemble them the correct way without losing the tiny pieces inside or you were screwed.
BroccoliQueefed lol man you really love washing machines I see your comments everywhere lol wait that means I’ve watched a lot of washing machine videos too lol
I still have one and love it ! Had to replace some parts due to leaks and do some preventative Maintanace but boy does she run the wash and rinse on these machines is top shelf
You had to use Persil, didn't you! AWESOME. Betcha that load turned out perfect! The best washers demand the best detergent. I love the old GE Filter Flo models.
I use cheap Roma Foca Ariel and other mexican powder laundry detergents with great results way cheaper than persil and tide. The secret is to have a good washer!
Had one when I first came.to the Isa 25 y ago, coming from Europe and front loader it was shocking, 12 min for s cycle. Unable to do a boil washer of 140 f and above. Why did you used an European detergent? Liquid and powder?? Together, never saw it before. Plus that machine need a big scrub.
My parents had one from 1970. I replaced it with a GE in 1992. I'm sad that GE stopped making this kind of washer with a lint filter. My 1992 is simular to this one. My grandma had a GE from 1976. Mine won't operate with the lid open.
I grew up during this era of washers too. They run circles around todays machines. Although I never could understand why someone would choose this crude GE over the quiet hum and better features and aesthetics of the Kenmore washers of those days.
You know I still have this one. Let me tell you we have two of everything at my place. Two fridges, two washers, you get the point. The older usually was built better. I've gone through two new washers (Maytag Neptune and Samsung which is giving me problems with it's stupid electronics) but all along the trusty (and rusty) old 1986 or eighty-idk GE Heavy Duty washing machine keeps going. It rattles and sometimes all the cloths move to one side and it starts to bang like a crazy one but it's been reliable and never gave me any larger problems. New or "quiet" is not always better. The same goes for the fridges. The new ones are acting up but the old mid 70's GE in green is still buzzing away keeping all of the food in the storage room cold.
At this point anyone who is still using a Whirlpool/Kenmore or GE from the time this was built is blessed. Save these old workhorses. Nothing today except for a Speed Queen comes close to this quality or longevity.
Um doesn’t a washing machine usually have the door on the front and the top......I don’t know because I’m Irish and all of our washing machines have a front door....
Hi vacboy88, there we had coincidentally and independently of each other, almost the same idea. :) - funny - My machine, however, runs in a self-cleaning program, so you can see the water rippling. In the end, however, you can clearly see that in a washing machine here and there times such a self-cleaning is due. Make broth from clear, clean water. Best regards, WERNER
When i lived at my inlaws we had the same exact machine except it only had the timer. No water level indicator no temperature selection.. I wonder if it was an older model because they said it came with the house when they bought it in 2001. It was still working until last year.
Hey im late these washers came w/ the link filter you see but also a mini basket.... That changes the normal capacity of the washer to about half. It went on the agitator it was literally a small basket with a hole for that agitator. It was gentiler and used less water than a full cycle. Search it here on youtube ge mini basket filter flo
My good man your letting the side down by not keeping the machine clean, you need to set to and clean the corners of the machine by the lid and other filthy area.
BroccoliBeefed Yes I am, the washer was used almost 3 times a day and a couple of the suspension springs had snapped and caused the bracket to slam into the cabinet and ecplodr
My folks had one that was very similar. Purchased new around 1965. The filter basket would actually collect lint. Don't know if it mattered, but it is fun to watch. Theirs had a 'Suds Saver' that would pump the detergent wash water out into a laundry tub, and then pump it back later so you could wash another load with the same soap & water. This machine is were I get my 'washing machine beat' epithet meme from. It's my private insult toward pop music with a boring, monotonous beat.
Me han bendecido con una lavadora Antigua ge del and,1986 filter Flo agitate and spin y nose si se USA transformador o no y si que voltios seria muchas grasias
This is when a washing machine was actually a washing machine. The mediocre top load washers that are on the market these days is more computerised that anything and they don't wash very well. To get en effective job done, you have to wash a little at the time with these new HE top loaders. Very nice video. The only washer that still maintained its rigid and robust all metal mechanical transmission is Speed Queen washers.
Was told by my sales guy last time we bought appliance that they intentionally make appliances that do not last long anymore but old school still better than the new crap technology out there. We ended up ditching Whirpool Duet set, (mold, clothes just not clean) and getting Speed Queen set, we are happy with it but still think what my mom had was far better.
what do you mean by little at a time, the average HE washer drum is about 40% times bigger than standard, HE can also hold an average of 32 pounds, i wash a lot of things at once with a low agitator and water saver and everything gets clean
I remember a couple households having this type of machine, while I was growing up. I liked the filter, which attaches to the agitator, as seen 🤔 here. The water 💧 endlessly cascades into this filter, the entire length of the wash cycle. These washing machines have a GREAT 👍 spin cycle. Ours was a circa 1978, but I'm not sure if it was a Filter Flo
It's called a retainer ring it kept clothes from going over edge but it didn't always work,if washer was overloaded usually small items would get over and clog the drain or pump
Lex's lime liquor Kind of creepy how YT keeps track of your viewing habits😬 I started with vintage automobiles and somehow ended with vintage appliances?.
I think this is a great washing machine. If I get a new washer to replace my 1993 Whirlpool Direct Drive unit I'm definitely going to buy a Speed Queen top loader.
Have 80s GE filter Flo laundry set replaced All the transmission seals along with the cork piece and replaced the oil with fresh air compressor oil detergent free replaced the pump as it started to weep And the top tub seal treated that with aerospace protectant motor and clutch seem fine and still hum right along have a fresh one when the time comes great machines easy to work on
These are the last models that GE made before they started making junk... One of the best washers ever... Although this guy needs to clean it up has a lot of dirt on the inside lid of the bleach dispenser and the rubber seal...
I would say these are one of the best washers ever made to bad they are no longer made if i had to buy a washer tommorow would try to find one of these classic ge models of course i would find one that canoffer warm wash warm rinse as well as a cold rinse if needed
Still agitates solidly too. If you buy a new one, the agitators lopsidedly turn. Like they will fall apart. Why they had to change a design that worked is beyond reason. Also look how solid the spin cycle is - outside doesn't even shake!
I have a simpler version of this GE machine from 1986. It's held up well. Still working in 2019.
Update in 2024?
@@jexanderarvelo3277 yes, it is still going.
This is pretty similar to what I grew up with. My parents has a similar washer to this until I was 7.
A. O. Garcia, I grew up with Kenmores.I guess they were more upscale
🙉🙉🙉
Today’s washers are absolute crap in comparison .....
So true, the best washers are long gone.
My mom had this washer and one of the best features was the “mini-basket” wash for small or delicate items. It slid down over the main agitator.
My 1993 pair had it too. I miss it to pieces.
Hi. I had an GE, old school, one speed V-14 it ate shirt buttons, but shirts came out as sparkling, they use a lot of water, and no internal heater. FL are just better machines, eg AEG, Miele, Bosch, Bauknecht.
Howard Daley exactly. That's why nobody under forty in Europe has ever seen a top load. Crap, antiquated, inefficient.
I agree with you. AEG is the best of all😅( and Electrolux too)
I found the Bosch washers a little bit harsh on clothing.
Back when washers used to get your clothes clean! And you were in charge of the washer the washer was Not in charge of you.! I miss these washers. Nowadays washers have so much Overkill
Today's washers and dryers are so overteched and overpriced, just like cars today

Weird isn’t it?. It came onto my feed.
But I’m obsessed with those appliances👍❤️😊

You clicked on a washing machine you tube vid and this played.. ; )
Lol
The GE washers and dryers of this era were tanks, and probably in more American homes than any other brand. My parents had the matching dryer and it lasted decades.
Filter flo was a great idea. Had it growing up. It caught a lot of lint. Why dont new washers have them?
I agree 100%
Seriously! I wish GE would bring it back!
OMG! My Mom had one of these She bought used and it worked for over 25 years!!
This my favorite washer ever!!!!!
My favorite washers too! Why they stopped making it I do not know.
I like this GE washing machine
I have always love the classic slow start due to the slow engaging clutch. Love all the distinctive sounds of a GE.
My grand uncle was an engineer for Maytag, out of Newton Iowa, and designed the first straight vaned dolly. The Dolly is that twisting spindle in the center of the tub. There's been hundreds of copies and a few improvments sice those days.

Can you please wash more WITHOUT the lint filter so we can see it washing
22:47........and look, a REAL SPRAY RINSE
I don't understand why the gentleman has added liquid and powder detergent to the wash.
Mom did the same thing, powder and liquid soap too (It was a one, 2 punch on cleaning clothes).

What does that timed Spotscrubber dial do, (the one that reads "use with min-basket only") ?
The spotscrubber cycle helps with stains on clothes. As the water drains out of the mini basket, the clothes rubb against each other and soap too.

Hello out there in Washing Machine world . Does anyone have a Simpson Fabulous 89
I think this is a great washing machine. If I get a new washer to replace my 1993 Whirlpool Direct Drive unit I'm definitely going to buy a Speed Queen top loader.
Have 80s GE filter Flo laundry set replaced All the transmission seals along with the cork piece and replaced the oil with fresh air compressor oil detergent free
replaced the pump as it started to weep
And the top tub seal treated that with aerospace protectant
motor and clutch seem fine and still hum right along have a fresh one when the time comes great machines easy to work on
These are the last models that GE made before they started making junk... One of the best washers ever... Although this guy needs to clean it up has a lot of dirt on the inside lid of the bleach dispenser and the rubber seal...
The washer mom had lasted for 15 years, then the transmission went out. Went to get a new one and they stopped making the washer by three months.
Product built to last
I would say these are one of the best washers ever made to bad they are no longer made if i had to buy a washer tommorow would try to find one of these classic ge models of course i would find one that canoffer warm wash warm rinse as well as a cold rinse if needed
Very nice

That's actually the lint filter. This machine didn't have a self cleaning lint filter as most of the washers at that time did.
My mom had this model washer when my brother was born she washed baby diapers in it
I like the Maytag washers with the electrical buttons and with an agitator
What model number is this with thanks in advance
Just subbed!! Your friend, Jeff!!
Our old hotpoint washer had a filter ring around the tub that water flowed through.
I don't know if it still is, but Hotpoint is/was a subsidiary of GE.
