ok I have a question. check out this video:any of you got a washing machine like this? I was like wtf, it's just filling with water, squirling around lazily for a while... are those things still sold?
My parents and relatives still have washing machines like that. I don't think that I have seen a newer model washing machine outside of my house.
hm couldn't find a video of the washing machine I have. here's a similar model to mine, and how it gets laundry clean. man this feels industrial compared to the little swirly wirly thing above, how that could get anything clean is a mystery to me.wow this is baffling me more than it should * Valodim goes read up on how washing machines work.
Yeah, you have a regular washing machine lol.The other one ... what the fuck is this shit !?At least it won't ruin your clothes.
Are you on the ball? It's new OxyClean Detergent! Get on the ball, and you'll never have to pour or measure detergent again! Just place the OxyClean detergent ball in the new toss and go dispenser- Just toss, and go. It stays in your washer while it cleans over 25 loads- Laundry! Just got easier.That's right! It's so easy even your kids can do laundry! It's patented formula delivers oxygen and detergent throughout your wash cycle; whitening and brightening your clothes. I know what you're all thinking, "What about the rinse cycle?" Watch this.Yeah, they still sell these washers. I haven't seen anything better, but I'm old as fuck and never go outside my parents house.
My parents had one of those swirly wirly thingies (I think my mother still has it).I never thought much about that washing machine; never felt there was something 'weird' about it nor tried to compare it with a newer model. For me it was just a machine that swallowed water and spitted clean wet clothes.
My grandparents have it. I don't know how it works, but I'm hardly ever there. We have modern ones at my mom's house and my dad's house, the only downfall to them is that they both lie to you. They NEVER finish when they say they will.

I do, they're pretty much the standard around here.Since I personally found out how those worked, I realized I could "wash" by hand just by putting a few item in a bucket, and doing the old "IN AND OUT" (washing version, of course). Since I've heard continuously that Oxygen is much of what actually what gets the clothes clean, I get them out of the bucket high, and push them FAST back into it, so more bubbles form with the detergent.In the end, never forget (!) that washing clothes is none other than the chemical process of removing the salts and natural fats that exuded from your skin pores, to avoid the fabric from getting weird yellow/brown stains. The real key here is not the washer model or how it moves (it may define how fast the fabrics may get damaged) ... it's the detergent you use. The perfect balance between clean, good smell, and not ruining the fabric for being so strong. Less money in fancy Washing Machines, more money into fancy detergents.Spoiler: How I found out about stains u_u (click to see content)I wore a white shirt to a wedding, which I barely attended for about 1 hour + 1 hour transportation there and back. I considered myself I was clean, didn't really sweat or anything, so I took off the shirt, and stored it in the closet. "Dodged that bullet" I thought to myself, "No need to wash and iron this baby again until next time".The shirt wasn't used again until a few months later, and when I needed it again, much to my surprise, the neck and cuffs were stained. My parents (both Chemical Engineers) laughed at me for not knowing how the human body works, and how I should always wash the clothes if I wore them for anything more than half an hour. THE END
My personal preference leans toward the top loading washers. I just got a side loading not that long ago and it doesn't clean as good as the old one I used to have. Yeah, side loaders do look pretty but they aren't worth it in my opinion.You can use all the detergent and boosters you want but if it can't wash it thoroughly then you're just wasting time and money. But again this is my personal experience on it so others can tell you differently.
We still wash our clothes in rivers,what the fuck are washing machines?Anyway,why are we discussing washing machines?Anyway vol.2,i have the second one valodim posted,but it leaks water like every 2 months,so we gotta call the guy to fix it.
It's funny how you guys are wow'd by washing machines. I've had both the one that Valodim posted and the more "modern" swirly washing machines.Not much of a big difference IMO.

The perfect balance between clean, good smell, and not ruining the fabric for being so strong. if you completely disregard the environment... yeah. read up on the subject a little, those bottichwaschmaschinen take about twice the energy and are less efficient getting your laundry clean, which means you need stronger detergents to get similar results.I asked around a bit lately, only one of the people I asked about even knew someone who still uses one of those swirly things, they are pretty much extinct here since the wall came down
Props on the quoting.Yeah, I'd expect nothing less than that from Germany.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_Germany_rank_in_the_world_economy
In here you just see that type of washing/drying machine in laundry businesses. It´s pretty uncommon to see those in a house, just when you´re pretty wealthy I think. The, filling with water then go, washing machine are pretty much an standard over here. The tropical weather and standard temperature almost during all the year make the drying process completely natural
I've had both, but haven't seen the older kind for a while now. Front-loaders are much more common here, at least in the last 3-4 decades.
