I think that the substitute of phosphates, zeolite, can cause white residues on coloured clothes, because it's not solubile in water. Daniele

°__° You mean your mother doesn't know anything?

I know! Jon, wanna see picture as soon as possible! Let me know if you also do webcam session!

I always liked the Neptune machine, and now that it has a window i even like more! I saw a picture of the soap drawer in the Maytag site, and it looks like the one of a Whirlpool machine (see the link below). Are Maytag and Whirlpool correlated...

I remember my aunt had a washer like that and Zanussi did it since some years ago in Italy. I spent a lot of time in the site you linked, i like it very much, especially the pics of the Lavamat Regina in the museum section. Daniele

Medicwash Foralouysius, you know everything about Medicwash! About the cost, in Italy it's 1.590 euro. Not so much, if you think that the "Navitronic" is little less than 2.000 :( As Foralouysius said, it features 4 special cycles: Cotton medicwash at 60°c and 90°c, pillows at 60°c and 90°c...

Thank you Louis for your pics. Jon, we're waiting for details when the Miele arrives! Daniele

Just received today a brochure from Miele with the new washers and driers. For the first time (I guess) they made 6 kg machines. They look quite like the same the precedent series, but they have special programs like "Jeans", "Shirts", "Dark clothes" that since now only the superiors models had...

And how high is the high level rinse of your Miele? Do you have pics? ^__^ daniele

Wish I... ...had the possibility to buy that machines in that period! I also love the '60 machines with soap dispenser on the top. In a Lavamat manual of the period (see the link below) they suggested to pour the washing powder while water was flushing in! I'd kill for one of that. To Louis...

About Jon's Lavamat Jon, it's great that a modern machine rinses at that water level! I was deciding if buying a new AEG or Miele washer, but now I know which direction I have to take! My parents Zanussi RJ10 (see link below), also made by Electrolux as modern Lavamat, in the cotton cycle...

About my Lavamat Thank Jon for your Lavamat-details! I guess mine is dated 1979: looking at the AEG italian site, and downloading users manuals, there was a similar machine of that year. (The link below is from the english site, the manual is about the machine with the temperature selector, it...

Wonderful finding! I never tought it was possible to buy detergents from other countries. Also lavamat_jon sent a similar link to buy from England, it was www.britishcornershop.co.uk Does anyone knows about sites like that also from other countries? Thank you, thank you! Daniele

Thank you for your anwers, I'm glad you enjoy my post. My Lavamat is a standard 5 kg european FL, it seems bigger beacause the front opening is very little (as in most old washers). The size is the same of a modern Miele or AEG machine and no, it doesn't dry clothes! It just spins at max 560...

Hi, here's my Lavamat in her high level rinse! Hope you like it.

Mister Clean aka Meister Proper Did you know that in France, Germany and Switzerland Mr. Proper is also a laundry detergent? Here's a pic :) From left to right, traditional powder (blue), compact powder (the purple one is for coloured wash), again XXL pack of traditional powder, lemon variant...

Yes Jon, and I have a few question about your baby, because I think that I'll take soon a new AEG 86800. In the meanwhile, that's my Lavamat I bought two years ago in a 2nd hand appliance shop for 25 euros (about 20 dollars). Thank Rocky for your welcome!

You don't scare me! I think you should see how many deergents I bought in one time while returning from my trip to France, Switzerland and Germany. And how many I stored in my luggage when returning from my flight to London. I'll post soon!

I everyone, just discovered the list and signed-up in no time. Didn't think that someone else could share this passion! I write from Italy, and I own two FL washers. The first is a Rex-Zanussi RJ 10 model, the second is a AEG Lavamat 602 S model, year 1979. I also collect detergent box from any...
