    Gorenje or Fisher and Paykel??

    HI Ingemar. Thanks for that. I have got the model your father has in my sights too as that is also available here. I could very well get that one because I do like all the features and looks quite sleek. Thanks Matt

    Gorenje or Fisher and Paykel??

    Thanks for the input guys. I feel I may go down the Gorenje route or Miele. The base model of the new series Miele is not too bad at $1500 so I may get that. I was thinking I would try something different but might be very worth while going with something known to be reliable. Lets see what I...

    Gorenje or Fisher and Paykel??

    NEC 4.0KG Twin Tub Washer

    Hi guys, It certainly is a wonderful machine :-) Louis, yes mine does have a pump, a good strong one too :-) The 'mini' twinnie I had for a time only had gravity drain and I must say I much prefer the pump. I do however wish this had a 'gentle' action of sorts but thats easily remedied by...

    Hi Guys, Curiosity got the better of me and I caved in and ordered some Power Pearls Intense Fresh and the Original Liquid to be shipped to Australia (so much more expensive than it has been previously for some reason). I love them both so far but did have to remove the silly pour spout from...

    Classic UK Appliances & Kitchens - March 2015

    That Westinghouse machine is an Aussie machine. Very much what would have been put on the Neighbours set in the laundry. Great machines, i think that one is the bigger 7kg size one. I quite like the look of the half panel controls.

    Your Laundryroom...

    LG Front Loaders

    Both my mum and my mother in law have an LG front load, my mums is the higher model than the MIL's and they both love them. MIL is used to top loaders but said this one does it much better, only problem is it doesn't flush out the dog fur very well. I like LG front loaders and would consider...
