new kitchen Alen,,,,,,,me thinks it's time to hit the Miele showroom in Beverly Hills and give Adrian an order for a new Miele kitchen,,really dear, a house of that quality cries for Miele......!

Here is how the hole in the lid works, ingenious really. It is for a manual suds return since this machine is semi-automatic. First you spin out the wash water, this machine is like the old Frigidaire models where the pump is always running. You would need a double laundry tray so if you...

Thanks for the instruction. I will not be as bold as one third up the window however. Will post pic's upon success. Thanks

I traded in the Frigidaire smaller model, 3.1 cu ft, never missed a beat in 5 years. It did fill up however to 1 inch below the front of the wash drum. Thanks for the insight, there must be a way?

I have just purchased a Frigidaire Affinity front load washer, ATF6000ES. I am used to washing clothes with water, this machine seems to be void of same. Is there anyone out there that can tell me how to adjust the water level?

Simpsomatic here, cant wait to see the downloaded pages, Betty Cruichshank across the street had one, it was semi automatic, FLUID DRIVE and used to shake the house foundation (bad stumps) when is was spin drying. Nothing could destroy those machines.

Chris, My comment was retorical....If you remember my earlier thread I come from the generation that had to light a fire to heat water to bath and wash with. I think its great that you have invested in our planets future. We have several "green" options here but unfortunately it comes with a...

Hello Nathan, (Mail demon came back could not send, sorry guys for this communication here, email address seems to have too many letters, try emailing me again) Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I spoke to Mum on Mother's day. She thinks I am crazy but she remembers the machine and all...

You guys ain't seen nothin yet, in Australia it is very rare that anyone will use a clothes dryer. Every backyard has a Hills Hoist. Every monday was the race of the housewives. Who got their wash out on the line first and the whitest? These clotheslines wind up into the air by means of a...

Gizmo, now that a couple of weeks have passed we are all anxiously awaiting your consumer report and pictures of your Turner Sapphire up and running. Amazing, no gear box. Did you figure out the pump lever yet? On another note to Brisnat81 "Malleys Automatic 12"? Was that the horizontal axis...

Tom, For many homes in Australia when I was growing up hot water was a luxury. Early homes had a chip heater in the bathroom, you fed little chips of wood into what has evolved into the tankless water heaters of today. They were very dangerous and were only used to draw a bath. Some homes had...

Hey guys, lots going on here. Yes, Turner was manufactured in the southern state of Victoria. My uncle was a meter reader in the suburb of Box Hill. Not only did he get a discount because he worked for the electric company it was because Turner was a local company. We need to remember that...

Turner My Aunt Hilda had one of these. It was known as a Turner Sapphire. They came in white, light green or pink. It did need to be bolted to the floor and over the years before it was discontinued there were several earlier versions, namely one with a two part lid that left an outer ring...

This Hoover machine was very popular in Australia in the late 40's and early 50's. It was known as the "Hoover Junior". This machine actually became one half of the Hoover Twin tub as technology slowly advanced. Great memories.

For all you Oz fans out there todays picture of the day is an Ausralian version of the Kelvinator orbital action produced in the early 60's. It was available as an automatic and also a semi-automatic. The machines had their own heating element, hence the description "no hot water system needed"...

The Australian version had a round glass window in the lid as did the English version. The lid also had a 2 inch round hole at the back left corner for the water fill.

I cannot believe my eyes either, I am an ex aussie circa 50's, this Bendix wobbly agitator machine was made in Aussie under the name of "HEALING". They produced TV's, refridge and the "THOR" brand washing machines. The equivalent to the BENDIX you have found was the "HEALING THOR TRIMATIC". The...
