Maytag all the way! (Pre Whirlpool buyout of course!)

The history of washing machines before our eyes! Impressive collection.

[@charger19691]

I respect people that preserve the past. Maytag was a great company that prided itself on quality and great engineering. Thanks for sharing and you have a lovely place.

Excellent! One of the best produced videos I've seen on KZbin. I really like the washing machines too.

[@jonathonrossebo1783]

I didn't know wringer washers were made until the 1980s.

I actually saw one like my mom's old machine that we inherited when we bought a very old home. It had a rotating wooden drum inside a metal tub....on and off was simply plug/unplug. We used it for a few yrs before my dad broke down and bought a modern 60's era machine....after it almost electrocuted her!

Almost all of the machines in Lee's museum still work. He refurbishes them before adding them to the floor.

Great video! Maytag has a new Bravos washing machine coming out and it looks really similar to some of the older square models. It's also a TOP LOADER of all things in this day and age, but Maytag says it's capacity is 5 cu ft, larger than the front loaders. I'm wondering if Maytag improved on the front loader technology with this new machine.

[@DrDaveBilliards]

@ufoengines Thanks. That's very kind of you ... even if it is a bit of an exaggeration.

[@Organgrinder1010]

My grandmother had the exact machine at 1:05: the first electrified model.

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

Notice all these vintage collectors are getting old. They are a dying breed. Someone needs to step up to the plate

[@lindashortt3631]

This is so interesting! Do you still have your collection & have you sold any?

[@DrDaveBilliards]

@MissPickletoes Thank you for the "shocking" story. ;)

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Thank you!

[@DrDaveBilliards]

You're welcome!

My parents had a Maytag World's Fair edition washer, harvest gold with fluorescent lamp behind the controls. I was just a kid, and when our family moved, we gave it away. I didn't like that idea at the time, but the new house had a new one. I wish we still had that one. I do have a Maytag Model 72 twin-cylinder Multi-Motor utility engine which I got from an antique shop for about $15 and got it running. It has been a real conversation starter with my shop visitors. Ahh the good old days! :)

[@PlausableApple4]

@MissPickletoes What a shocker! xD

[@davidbrown8303]

They went down hill when it goes to washing machines. I mean my washing machine won't turn butter and frankly I'm getting pissed off.

[@frienddarr182]

To a mechanical engineer, they are beautiful.
