my LG Turbodrum Well then I guess I MUST dispose of my 9 year old, (still working fine) LG Turbodrum, as it is made by those evil, job stealing South Koreans and I will spend $2,500 Aus dollars on a Speed Queen, because they are the ONLY washing machines which wash like washing machines!, if...

On my list When the LG T.L. meets it's maker, the 7kg F&P Washsmart machine will definitely be on my list as a replacement. Had the LG for almost 8 years and while it has been a very good work horse for us, I think I have had enough of a pulsator style washing machine. That being said of course...

Don't really know Can't help you I am afraid, G.E. were not really a big player here in Australia, in fact the only models I can remember were the Mobile 12,(I think it was called.),which was a copy of a Hitachi top loader and there was a large capacity fully automatic, the model with the...

Thanks Thanks for the replies guys, One less brand to choose from in the future then.

I was just having a look at the Australian website for Whirlpool, and unless I have missed something, there are no washing machines on it in either front load or top load styles. Does anyone know if Whirlpool have dropped washers from their range of of household appliances.? I clicked on the...

Well done Well done Matty, A great pickup, I am sure it will be a great little machine for you, and what a lucky machine it is too, in your very capable hands. I like the tumbling action it does seem to have a bit more oomph to it than other f.l.'s I have seen. Well done again. Steve.

LG GELaundry4ever, What on Earth has the LG company ever done to you?, if you find their products so objectionable don't buy them, same for Samsung. If you want to know about the inner workings of their products and the various features,why don't you ring them or email them and ask. I will say...

Hoover BOSS Have you had a look on ebay or gunmtree and had a look at some of the various Hoovers which are on there,I was thinking perhaps the Hoover BOSS which from memory was about 7.5kg,and I would expect spare parts would still be available. Hope this helps. Steve.

Memo to Washer 111 Just noticed your post about boutique type stores selling "Mother Country' detergents, if you live in Sydney, there is a store in Skygarden, Pitt street called "Treats from home", and they sell British Persil, but it is quite pricey, the last time I saw, and it was quite a...

Wont miss Dynamo or Cold Power either I agree with you Chris, I wont miss Dynamo or Cold Power either, if Henkel decide to get rid of it, horrible, thick gluggy liquid goo. I vaguely remember seeing an ad on youtube quite a while ago about a German detergent called Spee, I think, from memory...

I was looking at the Colgate/Palmolive Australian website last night just to have a look at Hurricane lemon liquid,(one of the few detergents I haven't used yet.),and noticed that as of August 31,Henkel have acquired the Australian laundry arm of Colgate-Palmolive. I wonder if they will change...

Tried yet another different detergent recently, Aldi's Trimat Advanced Formula Liquid when pouring I noticed it is a little thicker than liquid Surf and Fab but not as thick and gluggy like Dynamo and Cold Power. Washed a load of underwear in warm water with 1.25 capfuls and results were very...

Samsung washing machines You guys are probably not aware of this but Samsung have been subject to one of the biggest product recalls here in Australia, due to some faults in some of their top load washers. This recall has been going on for more than a year I was reading only earlier today and...

Beautiful machine Congratulations, that is a fine looking, well made machine, hope it exceeds your expectations. We can buy them here in Australia too, however at around $2,300 AU dollars,they really are cost prohibitive for most people I'm afraid,. Most people I know would baulk at paying that...

What about Beko Hi Matt, Have you had a look at the Beko range, I am quite taken in by the 6.5kg model, in fact if and when the LG T.L. dies, this will most likely be it's replacement. As for F&P, I tend to agree with Washer 111, the top loaders seem to be their forte, and Haier, well my...

Washing instructions Hello Malcolm, The washing instructions are pretty basic for here really, just normal wash in warm or cool water and warm iron. I had a look at most of my wardrobe just now seeing that you mentioned about the 75% or so being similar and it is pretty much the same here for...

Thanks Chris Thanks for the response Chris, you are probably right these shirts were made in Bangladesh or some such place and the fibre quality is somewhat suspect I guess. I have noticed over-riding the preset water levels in helping a bit. I think I had better start deciding to either pay...

Yellow armpit stains Washer 111, You may not have any luck with the dreaded yellowing underarm pit stains,some years ago in utter desperation contacted the stain removal expert? at Colgate Palmolive and sought her help. She told me that after washing the anti-perspirant deodorant actually sets...

No sorry No I didn't I'm afraid Rapunzel, funny though that the model isn't on Teco's website too. Just as an aside, and even though I am not in the market for a new washer yet, I think I am in love with the Euromaid 5kg front loader and the Beko 6.5kg front loader when next I am needing a new...

Some further info Hello Jim, 10kg means it will hold a 10kg clothing load, not sure what that would convert to, however 10kg is as far as I know the largest capacity machine you can get here in either style T.L. or F.L. I had a look at Teco's website and this model isnt on it yet, however if it...
