I'm really impressed by the condition of this machine, it looks and performs like you could have just bought it new from Sears yesterday. Love that avocado green color as well.

Beautiful model

I never cared for the Penta Swirl. Go ahead and swap mine out with that Dual Action agitator or Whirlpools Double Duty Super Surgilator.

WOW! What excellent rollover!

Loud click at 17:00 is the bleach dispenser solenoid activation to lift the stopper and send bleach into the water at 4 mins remaining.

What happened to the permanent press cycle video?

How does the pitch of the "woo-woo" on this machine compare to that of the Whirlpool machine. Is it higher in pitch, lower in pitch, or about the same?

I miss top loaders old school ones they washed comforters so well and look at that water! This was relaxing to watch

That gold agitator could be a sculpture! Beautiful lines.

Pat I think it did a great job with this comforter, Combined with plenty of movement and water circulation made for a clean comforter!!! What more then that would you need right??? I miss my Kenmore with this agitator so much!!! Thanks for the video Pat and have a great day... Bob

It really did a good job. You got yourself a winner there. I love that the tub opening is completely even with the cabinet opening. The suspension set up is spot on.

That did an excellent job

Better off getting a vintage top loader with a free moving agitator that is able to take a full tank of water. Those clean so much better.

Is this basically whirlpool's version of the speed queen tv2000?

Thanks for showing this off Pat. I remember these back in the day. I believe some early model direct drives had the balance buzzer too. This agitator is probably one of the best ever made IMO.

Nice washer man. Good score.

How does this machine compare with vibration to a Direct Drive? My Direct Drives tend to shake my little trailer home pretty good until they get up to speed.

That "grind-click" made me jump on the 1st spin cycle!!! 😳

You were wise to partner with Pete. From what I've seen on his channel, he is gifted with supreme intuition regarding mint vintage washer finds. Kudos to you, agiflow.

The water motion is a little more violent on the lower water level.

Machines are made like this anymore.

Thanks for videoing the off-balance buzzer! I had a late aunt and uncle that had a late 1970’s Kenmore washer-standard capacity, white Super Roto-swirl agitator-and it had the off-balance buzzer-sometimes she’d do a load that got off balance and it would shake and then it would stop and the buzzer would sound.

Ahhhhh The good old off balance buzzer, I experienced that sound many times especially when I washed jeans!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane Pat and have a great day... Bob

Looks darn near new old stock. Very happy for you!

What a lovely gray sheet there. I've been looking for one that color. 😃 It seems as if this machine is breaking in because the agitation seems even faster.

God bless you!

God bless you! Finally a full cycle!

I have really enjoyed your videos!! Love these old belt drives and Kenmores in general. Most of all, I love how you spread the Gospel of Jesus! We are to plant the seed and let Him nourish it!

Nice find! That's a nice washer. The Drum is larger on this machine than the 85 WP. This is 26 VS 21 Gal. If you wash a very full load with this Agitator and then put the DD Surgilator in you will find a marked difference in turnover.

Wow that is amazing im so glad the washer is working great for u im so happy for but i hope u will find some of the washers i suggested too and try them out too but god bless u my friend and i hope for the best for u

Cleans well. Personally, I'm a fan of GM Frigidaire, I grew up with them. Going into Sears you would see their home appliances like washers and dishwashers operating in store. Something I will never forget. I'm actually south of Albany; the Catskills and Adirondacks got hit with snow, most of ours is starting to melt. Once you go north of Rockland into Orange County north, it is like stepping into another state. I have travelled, I would rather be in Long Island than where I am now. Albany and the Capitol District isn't bad, but nothing compared to being close to New York City

Hey Pat, when you can, I'd like to see the Permanent Press cycle washing a mixed load, 6 minute wash, hot/cold, medium water level with an extra rinse.

Wow features galore, I wouldnhave loved. A second rinse on my old 1989 whirlpool, which was a wonderful machine, but rather basic on options. This anchent beauty has it along with the legendary, Hot/warm water options. Cause we all know, cold water doesn't clean. Let alone it doesn't kill bacteria or virus. But hot water does wonders for both stains, and disinfecting soiled items. Something the rest of the world considers but us Americans seemingly aren't allow to sanitize our cloths anymore, based on modern machines and their options and bullcrap settings. Which is say are almost gimmicks anymore. Modern machines have one mode, normal,which means about 1/4 th full with either cold, or warmish water. Sure you might have, like 11 temp settings, but realistically you got cold, all. The way to warm. The hot setting usually gives you a lukewarm 110* f tub of water which isn't even a hot shower. The agitation settings are, gentle. Only . Sure you may have 21 "cycles" and their all the same. Agitation doesn't change, nor does it even really deivate, ubless you haven't lg. Which has countless strokes of varying speeds, including a 1/4 speed spin which goes off during wash cycle. Alas it doesn't really change much . If your rocking a whirlpool or Maytag, agitator or wash plate, your getting water that if your lucky night immerse your items, which better not rise more then 1/4 th of the tub height. Deep fill, doesn't deep fill. If seemingly does nothing. Maytag extra power.. again does nothing, save for activating a light on the center knob.. you get a weak ass spin rinse. Which is about 14 seconds of low flo cold water spraying the cloths as it spins. Hope you don't have sensitive skin.. this is elevated by selecting fabric softener. Then you get a partial fill. But no second rinse option.

Pat thanks for the great video. The washer is absolutely Awsome I wish they made these today - Best of Luck Peter

I wonder how the Whirlpool/Kenmore Ramp agitator will work in that tub? 🤔

Wow Pat what great shape this machine is in, This looks like it hasn't been used much at all??? I think this machine will go on another 10 years!!! You were blessed with getting this machine... 🥰🥰🥰 Bob

Kenmore. Solid as Sears.

It looks practically new.

Here’s one thing I’ve been doing, is I’ve been recording quite a few videos behind the scenes (haven’t recorded any videos in a month, but still lots of stuff), then I schedule them to be released every Monday and Thursday (though it’s going back to every Thursday starting next year). When you upload, you go to visibility (private, unlisted, schedule), you select schedule, then you select the time and date you want the video(s) to be released (can only do it by the hour, not minutes and some odd seconds), might be a thing or two I left out, but that’s how you can schedule videos to be released.

The sounds of an ac induction motor , i meant to mention how is the whirlpool commercial washer

Really heavy duty, um mean look how big the agitator blade is

Wow, it really does look good. Just amazing for its age, to look like it came out of the box.

Primero 🤑👌

The agitator literally looks like a star!!!

That was probably Sears second best washer unbelievable condition

I love this machine. This is definitely a worthy replacement to that Whirlpool Gold. I think I like this machine more honestly.

Wow, what a smooth running machine this one you could wash in the middle of the night and nobody would know. What is that a bleach and fabric softener dispenser?

Looks like a very gentle agitator too.

No woo-woos. 😞

I am allways realy wondering, why these type of washers do only one rinse! it must be left lot of detergent residues in the fabrics, as i can see in the rinse water,how soapy it is. frontloading washers of this time in europe do 4 or 5 rinses to wash every detergent proper out of all fabrics.
