We are in the middle of buying a new washer right now and this video shows exactly how great the old machines used to be. Powerhouse work horses!!!! Now they are all 4 to 5 year lifecycle before you have to buy a new one..... Sucks!
All this talk of gentle...gentle...gentle..sometimes you have clothes that are very dirty and better made like denim which need a heavy duty wash action like the washer on the left. People need to remember that when that old Hotpoint was made there were still a lot of manufacturing jobs in this country and many people worked labor jobs. Today's washers might be fine for some hipster yuppies but these correctly made classic washers were meant to get dirty clothes clean period. Look at the control panel between the two. The classic Hotpoint has the Heavy Duty designation while the newer model does not. Tells you all you need to know right there
My favorite washer dryer set I ever owned were my Hotpoint pair. I never had an issue with them. I think they're still in the house I sold 10 years ago.
I’ve been debating for a while now if I should “upgrade” my whirlpool 2003 set to a new one. I think it would be a down grade! My clothes are so clean always because of my Direct drive washer I don’t need anything to be gentle on dirt.
I had one of those old Hotpoints once. It was great until the agitator broke away from the shaft, couldn't find a replacement agitator. But my only complaint with it was there was no way to level it and what they had suspending the tub was almost nothing. No matter what you did it was out of balance. It would spin and shake the entire house, dance all over the floor and knock the dryer around.
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 :)
Not only are newer washers gentle on clothes, they are gentle on dirt. I guess if the dirt stays in your clothes you aren't polluting the earth as much with dirty wash water.
It’s like night and day. Look at the power behind the old model and how lame the new one is. Well on a positive note the new one is more gentle on the clothes.😂
The one on the right is like " Hey, let's be friends and work together on the problem". The left is like come here , I gotta get you clean or they'll throw me out"!
I have one of those ew fangled H.E. maytag washers. 4 years old. It's a love-hate relationship. There are things I truly hate about it, such as I hate the door lock well it's a lid lock because it's a top load. If you pause the machine and any mechanical part of the machine is in operation the lid will not unlock until every single part has completely stopped moving and sometimes that can take two to three minutes which is really frustrating when all you have to do is throw in that Rogue sock you found behind your bed. Another thing I really don't like about it is because it's a so-called smart washer it will agitate until it senses that the clothes are clean. So one load of laundry might take 20 minutes to wash, another load and seriously I have had that machine take an hour and a half to wash a load of assorted light blankets and towels. It senses how dirty the clothes are and washes according to that. Now on the plus side. It does clean the clothes really well. That's about the only good thing I can say for this washer. My clothes and most of the time my blankets and towels do come out very clean. The spin cycle does not extract water out of heavy items as well so I normally will open the lid rearrange the clothes and move the knob to drain and spin and run it on another spin cycle. If I had my choice I would rather have one of these washers that is featured in this video. A good old-fashioned full of water good agitation , hard spinning washer that is mechanical and not electronic and computerized. You know I say this on other posts throughout TH-cam the government just ruins everything it gets its hands on. Washers, toilets, thank goodness the regulations on light bulbs was reversed and we can have incandescent again. Just ridiculous I don't need the government to tell me what kind of products I can have. If anyone is stupid enough to stick their hand in a wash machine while it is agitating or spinning then they kind of get what they deserve. Who's with me?
Picked up an old one today. I see no reason to purchase a new age washer ever again. The old one here uses $20 more energy a year. The new one would have to last 20 years to justify it's purchase over the old one, regardless of how well either of them wash.
You should see the 2021 crap. These new ones won't even let you have enough water to cover the clothes and the lid locks so you can't look in to check on your soap or add an item without pushing a pause button My neighbor has to unplug hers because the computer will start it up out of the blue during the night like the stupid washer is possessed. Refuse to buy new. Spend a 1000.00 if you have to rebuilding the old ones. We need to raiseHell with GE, Hot Point, whirlpool whoever. It is ridiculous how far down the crap hole they have gone. I replaced my old 80s GE 4 weeks ago with a new GE. There is no comparison. With the new one you can still smell perspiration after you wash them. They try so hard to be communist with the water allowed that you can not see the water in the wash and your clothes stink after washing. It doesn't get them clean. These 2021 models are💩
The washer on the left looks like it's goig to take all the stains out while the washer on the left will leave all the stains on it ans maybe even add some just on how slow it goes.
The 1980 washer is doing a much better job a washing and getting the clothes clean than the 2008 washer... The clothes are barley moving, the agitation is weak... The progress on washing machines has been the WORST!!! The new ones are Crap and don't get your clothes clean in only two cups of water, and that take to long.. I have a few friend that bought refurbished/rebuilt conventional top load center post agitator washing machines instead of the terrible H E WASHERS!!! To bad progress took a turn for the worst on modern washing machines..
The old one has a delicate setting (which is not being used for this presentation) where it will use less agitation (for clothing not heavily soiled or subject to tearing). So...you can use it less vigously and still get lightly soiled clothing cleaned. The new one has no heavy agitation ability so it cannot clean heavily soiled clothing and it uses less water on every load, and lets face it the more water used the cleaner the clothes. It is more environmental to use less water but... is putting a washer in the landfill every 5-7 years environmental? NOPE it just mental and greedy.
i love the power of the old washer its like oh yeah we gettin these clothes clean big time. The new one is like im getting these clothes clean but it will take an hour or so, no big hurry. the newer washers don't get SHIT clean they suck.
the 1980 and 2016 were probably made by different hotpoints and what i mean by that is the original hotpoint company probably got bought out by a new owner and they just kept the name
You need mechanical action . By the time this 1980 washer was made these machines were at their peak of maturity. Everything since roughly 2010-11 has been going downhill since. Though I think today's Amana washer is pretty good and the Maytag commercial.
People love to talk shit on the newer machines but use the most garbage detergent on the shelf. The detergent is really what gets 80% of the dirt off of your clothes. Regardless of the era your machine is from.
Those older machines cost 2 - 3 times what today's machine's cost (use inflation calculator). The 2019 one probably cost no more than a few hundred. Those machines from the 80s started at $1,200+
But, they last 2-3 times longer than today's machines, and were cheaper to fix, too. A pump for a Whirlpool direct drive washer sells for around $10-15. A pump for their modern machines cost 2-3 times as much.
@@Schooney60606 I agree with your reasoning. I guess my point was that the general public these days are unwilling to pay $1200 for a washing machine. At least not in large enough numbers to sustain it from a profit perspective. People like cheap stuff nowadays, sadly.
No they did not cost more they were built better. You think you know It all millenials My first set in the 80s was 600.00 total and washed better and lasted until now. This new set of 💩was over a thousand dollars and does not wash the damned clothes. I'm sick of some dumb kid saying these are better or the older ones cost more. You don't know about what things costed 35 years ago because somebody was still changing your diapers.
@@terrorblossom4829 yeah I'm not gonna believe that, not in 1,000,000 years. For me, it's: Out with the old crap stuff, and in with the epic New stuff! Its simply not possible to change my mind.
We are in the middle of buying a new washer right now and this video shows exactly how great the old machines used to be. Powerhouse work horses!!!! Now they are all 4 to 5 year lifecycle before you have to buy a new one..... Sucks!
I’ll take the 1980 washer anyday
I like the older one so much better!
That old Hotpoint is rock'n
I would prefer the 1980 Hotpoint washer.

Tells you all you need to know right there
pat cola My sister had a similar one many years ago they have a dual Agitator it was a great washer
Exactly! Same for GE! Even the GE post filter-flo I had could clean better than that stupid 2016!
@@jeromedavis8575 When this washer was made all washers were considered heavy duty back then.
I miss my old 80s washer. With the new ones you still smell perspiration in the armpits of shirts after you wash them.
Vintage washers always win. 💯🙌
My favorite washer dryer set I ever owned were my Hotpoint pair. I never had an issue with them. I think they're still in the house I sold 10 years ago.
The older washers always have done better
wow that 2016 hotpoint really fills up nice,the new ones dont anymore😕
The 1980 Hotpoint washer is by far the machine that cleans better!
Exactly! I'm sick and tired of counseling the dirt out of my clothes! This is so stupid!
I’ve been debating for a while now if I should “upgrade” my whirlpool 2003 set to a new one. I think it would be a down grade! My clothes are so clean always because of my Direct drive washer I don’t need anything to be gentle on dirt.
Stay with the one you have it wouldn’t be an upgrade it would be a downgrade getting a new one.
I just bought a new washer and I'm very unhappy with it. I would have rather spent that money on a mechanic to fix the old one.
Keep the ones you got the new ones are they ain't nothing but pure junk

I had a GE version of this machine.
They just don’t make stuff like they used to anymore ☹️
@cameronkilli: That's for sure. Due to our government imposing COMMUNIST LIFE!!!
I'm keeping my 1984 Maytag !
1980s machine any day of the week, new machines don’t cut it anymore.
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 :)
Not only are newer washers gentle on clothes, they are gentle on dirt. I guess if the dirt stays in your clothes you aren't polluting the earth as much with dirty wash water.
The new ones just counsel the dirt out, whereas the older ones will give the dirt an ass whooping it deserves.
Old one over the new one anyday!!
It’s like night and day. Look at the power behind the old model and how lame the new one is. Well on a positive note the new one is more gentle on the clothes.😂
Yeah, gentle to the point that I doubt that the damn clothes ever get clean.
Exactly. And the new machine encourages excessive perfumed soap use because it doesn't actually clean. The agitation is terrible.
Great video, I just bought a new washer and I'm very unhappy with it. I wish I would have spent that money for the mechanic to fix the old one.
The one on the right is like " Hey, let's be friends and work together on the problem". The left is like come here , I gotta get you clean or they'll throw me out"!
for a better clean, I would suggest the amana ntw4600yq1 or the speed queen tc5000wn
My new home came with an Amana washer model NTW4516. For a new machine it has the classic DAA and actually washes well.
The old one is doing way better cleaning job
They still make a great range

1980 Hotpoint doing what a washer should do.
1980 hotpoint washer all the way
OMG does someone have they model number of the 80s machine?? I have the same one but can't find it on it anywhere. Please help!
is it me or did they add more detail on the old things now the new ones they just care for the money ):
No contest! The 1980 outperforms the 2016!

I vote for 1980!
"Yes, Ill take the one on the left."
Clear like crystal the older one works much better!!!!! No BS involve jajajaj
Keep it old school. 1980
i love the power of the old washer its like oh yeah we gettin these clothes clean big time. The new one is like im getting these clothes clean but it will take an hour or so, no big hurry. the newer washers don't get SHIT clean they suck.
I saw the 2 washers and starling at the GTW460ASJWW
This goes to show you. Washers with no transmissions don't work!
Even the plastic tub GE's that came after the filter-flo were better than the 2016 and that's saying something!
I ment to say the 2016 washer is the worst, not 2008...
The left one is far much better than the right one.
I aww what they mean by “ energy efficient” .....LOL....it has less “energy..”😹
That hotpoint us washing up Jacob astorm.
You need better detergent for one the only ones that come close to the old ones are ge washers
the 1980 and 2016 were probably made by different hotpoints and what i mean by that is the original hotpoint company probably got bought out by a new owner and they just kept the name
Not yet they hadn’t
GE and Hotpoint relationship goes back decades.
In 40 years, there won't be any 2016 Hotpoint washers.
GE needs to go to the 💩hole with them. I replaced my old 80s GE with a 2021 model and the new ones are 💩
The 1980 one is the best one
The old machines were built to last.
Well, The Federal Bureaucrats tell us what to do and how we should wash out clothes. :(
Water savings mandated by government. Bought a tumble washer 3 yrs ago, my graying microfiber kitchen towels are now free of graying.
Older gets clothes cleaner new one looks like a ge same agitator
A suzy Homemaker toy washer would wash clothes better then that 2016 Hotpoint.
the corporations want you to buy a front loader.
Hotpoint wins
A demonstration of how washers went from quality to crap
I'll take the 2016 one..... makes your clothing last longer and fade less.... also its the detergent doing the heavy cleaning not the agitator
Lies
Detergent doesn’t clean it just makes ur clothes good ur stupid

Lies #2
Are you sure?
I can almost garuntee that the 1980s one was set to heavy duty and the 2016 one was set to delicate
Nope, that's how they wash on normal. Their delicate cycle is the same agitation speed with long pauses.
People love to talk shit on the newer machines but use the most garbage detergent on the shelf. The detergent is really what gets 80% of the dirt off of your clothes. Regardless of the era your machine is from.

@@powersww1reset And my point still stands.
