Hey ... what worked for my grandmother is good enough for me ... :-) ...

And that is why I bought a Maytag wringer washer this summer.
When the Kenmore dies, that gets moved in from the shed. Any combo of Hot-Warm-Cold we want; as many rinses as it takes; wash & rinse cycles as short or as long as we want; easy to work on.
It also has secondary uses an automatic doesn't, such as cleaning pelts for & during tanning.

That would be a washboard in my case.

I agree with almost every comment posted on this thread — and it’s a pretty long thread at the point at which I’m responding. But there’s one huge advantage of the front loaders, depending on your height. If you’re height challenged, top loaders are sent from the devil. You have the following choices in removing your clothes from a top loader: climb onto a ladder or step stool; rig up a clothes hanger and try to snag that sock; throw out your shoulder. I’ve tried all three. So I live with a front loader and when I bemoan all the problems associated with it (yup, had the guy here today to replace the gasket, which of course wasn’t in stock), I just remember to count my blessings: no thrown shoulder, no fall from ladder, no holes in clothes from rigged up hanger.
Merry Christmas!
