    My "new" Miele Toploader

    I have moved recently, so I needed a TL because of place issues. I did want a tank built washer but the 1450 € for the Miele W 605 in the store are way too much for my wallet. Otherwise I didn't want to trash 300-400 € into Indesit/Candy/Whirlpool stuff that lasts just 4 or 5 years. So I...

    Vintage Miele W1070 issue

    Hi Eric, don't worry. It fills even with the power off . This means it's just a stuck hot water valve and it's not a major (e.g. electric/electronic) fault. Sand and/or other debris (rust ?) in the water line sometimes are so small : the screens on the washer pipes can't stop them. It's not a...

    looking for an old Philips dishwasher

    Salut J.M. Humeau ... has it anything to do with IGNIS Alice design ? The partnership between Ignis and Philips had started long before Ignis merged under Philips wings, maybe .... BTW have you got any picture/depliant of vintage Arthur Martin dishwashers (avant d' Electrolux)? Merci...

    Something a bit different from Ebay UK!

    @ Kevin It spins @ 400 rpm . The drum has a 25-27 cubic decimetres volume and a standard cotton load is just 3 Kg. As a clue : a single cotton load in the WP Duet/Dreamspace equates 3 or 4 loads of these Smurfs IMHO the Electrolux one was better, as it span @ 800 rpm, although current Candy...

    Something a bit different from Ebay UK!

    Another Smurf ( a Scandinavian one) Great restoration ! Congrats Paul !! This is a case where "older is not better" : the Aquamatic 3 was a far better machine than the first model. Those fake baffles were a nightmare for "minimum iron" and "delicate loads" : the laundry just floated on the...

    Something a bit different from Ebay UK!

    hi tub, 1400 W ... I bet it's that smurf aka Aquamatic : A 1400 W heating element is too weak even for the italian market, Candy washers has ever had 1850-2000 W elements. So i bet it is the Aquamatic [UK version] The Aquamatic version for the italian market has just a 1100 W element, but...

    Cold water washing- WHY?!?!?

    these "cold wash only" people are those very ones that write on forums looking for help cause their washers are possessed by mold & mildew :))

    Do condenser dryers really get clothes dry?

    So Nathan, I' never complain again about my wet climate Gabriele we have to remember it and stop complaining about the thick fog in winter and the humidity in summer : somenone else on the other side of the world has a summer climate far worse than ours in the Padan Plain :) in case I'll fly...

    A glow in the dark...

    Lavamats and Favorits today... Hi Stephan, die Nuernberger factory was dismissed in 2007, so at first production "wandered" here and there in EU. My brother and SIL had the bad luck to buy that very year a fully integrated TOL Favorit DW that was made in Spain. It has nothing to do with Louis'...

    Miele W4800

    again check it : latest manufacturers trend for european markets is rather to make washers with bigger drums in the standard 60x60x85 cm outer cases. Last summer Electrolux started selling the Affinity in Italy rebadged as Rex to check the sales feedback. The fact it is not sold in any other...

    Miele W4800

    hi Marco, no, I haven't any account on you tube. Despite the W48XX / T98XX series have some settings in the programming modes that are intended for european markets beyond evidence ( first of all, higher wattages on the interal heaters), meaning this they are ready for euro markets, my guess...

    Candy Softwasher 1994

    my guess is it has been discontinued cause UV rays are harsh on colours (expecially reds, it's very common that red shirts in shop windows turn to pink) anyway there is on on sale here in italy on subito.it (kinda ebay)...

    Why UK machines usually different from US

    OMG !!!!!!! Here she is !!!! Thanks Louis for posting that Constructa dishwasher with the window :) She's the very one we were talkin' about time ago AquaCycle, what about that slimline Zan-o-Lux dishwasher ?? Is she nice at washing pots and pans even on the fast cycle ?

    Zannussi Washer

    Thanks Tom ... so it's actually .. true : Zanussi used cast iron spiders like Miele till late eighties. Now one can make up why many of them are still working while lots of current models are in the curb ...

    A glow in the dark...

    Thanks Joe for all these infos ! :-) Another question : what about those series rebadged as Telefunken ? Here back in the 80ies Telefunken models were pretty the same as those Lavamat with the big silver dials @norfolksouthern : these two Lavamats are at least 15 years older than your...

    AEG Favorit: Not something I'd expect at the thrift store in California

    Herr KochWasche, sprichst du Deutsch ? ;-))))) "S" heisst "SPARPROGRAMM" (ohne vorspuelen und nur ein zwischenspuelen) "S" means "Economy cycle" (without prewash and just one interim rinse) This Favorit is a true AEG one, unlike current ones that are Zanussi made in Italy , close to Milan...

    New Retro Whirlpool Dishwasher

    not only BSH and WP EU, even SMEG the funny fact about BSH is that Bosch, Siemens and Neff offer machines already having the cutlery rack, while Gaggenau customers are squeezed like lemons as they have to buy that rack separately. But you know, Gaggenau customers are a sort of Hen that lay...
