    Favorite Dryer

    That's what I miss about my ED56 - whatever setting you put it on, whether it be low temp/light dry or regular temp/med-extra dry, every last item you put in there, is perfectly dry at the end! Its replacement doesn't do that - claims it has an auto dry sensor, but most clothes are still quite...

    The Great Debate. Gas vs Electric Dryers

    I live in Australia; we pay some of the most expensive utility prices in the world. Because we've been exporting most of our natural gas reserves for decades, our domestic supply has begun to face shortages, although that's only one contributor, in a myriad of factors, as to why Australian...

    The Great Debate. Gas vs Electric Dryers

    Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but it all depends where you live and how much you get charged for utilities... Where I live, natural gas prices rise faster than electricity, and have been for the past decade or so; before this, gas was the cheaper one! For comparison, my power bills are...

    Gas ranges with electric broilers

    If it's an Electrolux brand, then the Frigidaire may have been manufactured at their "Cooking Plant" in Adelaide, South Australia. They used to make dishwashers and top-loader washing machines here in Adelaide, possibly compact dryers too iirc? My mum bought a Simpson Encore 756 (hence my...

    Gas ranges with electric broilers

    That's been a thing for many years now here in Australia; I currently have a Westinghouse 625 "stove" (range) with natural gas cooktop and oven, but electric "griller" (broiler) I find the electric griller slow to heat up, but once it's reached temperature, it'll burn everything within 1.5...

    Favorite Dryer Design?

    Compact vented electric dryers that can be wall-mounted above a top loader; y'know the ones that sort of look like a small front loader washing machine? These were the most common where I live before condenser and heat pump dryers were introduced, and you can still get them at most stores. Just...

    Favorite Dryer

    Fisher & Paykel ED56 front-load compact sensor dryer I'm not sure if they're considered "vintage" yet, but I still have one in my house, wall-mounted upside down above my top loader. It was in continuous service for 20 years, until I "replaced" it with a cheap, shitty Aldi special dryer a few...

    Looking for info on Simpson Encore top loders (AU/NZ)

    @grnappliance WOW, you've definitely unlocked some hidden childhood memories there! Mum had her Encore until about 2007-8ish, when she bought an 8kg F&P AquaSmart (she got some government rebate on it for good water rating) and ended up giving away her Simpson Speaking of my mum and washing...

    Haier -- F&P -- GE

    @mattl idk if this is a thing over in the states, but singular "tall" DishDrawers are available in Australasia from F&P... I have the same issue as you, and would never buy a standard-sized DD I have included a link for reference...

    Looking for info on Simpson Encore top loders (AU/NZ)

    Hi all, I'm looking for information on a specific washing machine that my mother had growing up. It was a Simpson Encore 7.5kg top loader; has the Esprit body but full electronic controls featuring a time remaining display instead of knobs. I've never seen another one in the wild here in...
