I really like the look of this washer dryer combo. Looking forward to the release. Sure it will be over $5000 au. Would be a shame if it does not spray water over the load during the wash and rinse phases. I feel this should be a standard feature on all new front load washers.

Just had a look at one in Harvey Norman. No rubber boot around the drum and no port to spray water over the load. Don’t think I will get one. Might stick to LG.

Thinking it is about time I brought a new washing machine. Been looking on line at Asko front loaders at Harvey Norman. Very expensive. They look very sleek. Real mix of reviews. Not sure if they spray water over the load during the cycle like LG machines do. Anyone have any experience of Asko?

My Bosch series 6 does not detect if the water level drops. I had a similar incident when a plastic pot flipped and filled with water. I could hear the wash pump pumping air as well as water. Opened up the door and tipped water out of pot and secured it and all was well.

My LG washer which is less than 5 years old has started to pump the wash water out at about 15 minutes in to the wash cycle. The time indicator had 3 more hours to go to complete the cycle. It has done this on 2 occasions this morning. I was running the cotton cycle on 60C (140F). I ran the...

This thread reminded me of a Simpson TL washer that was introduced here in Australia a few years back. It had only a few tiny holes in the inner tub and water was constantly pumped from the outer tub to the inner tub. The rationale was that the inner tub would be full of water washing the load...

Thanks Gizmo, that is really interesting. Defo won’t be splashing out on a Speed Queen TL from Harvey Norman. Second worst machine in there list of washers not to buy. The guys from the USA seem to really like the Speed Queen TL. It certainly is reminiscent of the top load washers in regards to...

I was looking on YouTube re the “high efficiency” option on the Speed Queen TL. What a misnomer. There is a video by Laundro-Matt explaining the function. Adds 4 soaks of an hour each to the wash cycle with 12 mins of agitation between soaks. It then does spray rinsing and omits the deep rinse...

I went to Harvey Norman this morning. A major electrical and appliance outlet here in Australia. I always like to have a mooch around the washing machine section. There was a speed Queen TL. $3,295.00 Au which is $2,039.93 US. Seems pretty steep to me. Nice looking machine. Obviously made for...

Greetings from Australia. That was fantastic viewing. Thank you for posting. Looks like lots of fun.

I have a new double F & P dish drawer and instructions says clean filters every two months. I left the filters for nearly a month. When I took them out there was no chunky stuff but there was a film of slime on the filters. Rinsed of really easily. I think weekly clean is a good habit to get in to.

Hi Kevin really sorry to hear you can’t take your fantastic collection with you. Not sure if you remember me and my partner Spencer, we visited you a good few years ago when you kindly invited us to see your collection. We were vacationing in Palm Springs from Sydney Australia at the time. I...

size and G forge Interesting thread. I also understand that the size of the spinning basket will make a difference with water extraction. Something to do with G force. There is a calculation I believe. The bigger the basket the more G force = more water extraction. My F&P TL has a big basket...

I have to agree with you Launderess. FL machines are more efficient and wash, rinse and spin better than TL machines but I do have a soft spot for my TL washers especially my GE filter flo. I do use them occasionally. The main gripe people seem to have with FLs is the issue with smelly mildew...

Here in Australia we are lucky and have a fairly big range of both front and top loading washers to chose from. I have a large laundry room and I have 2 front loaders and 4 top loaders. I really like the choice. In the UK I am pretty sure you cannot buy regular top loaders any more. Only those...
