Bosch toploaders are relabeled Whirlpool/Indesit machines.

I guess things vary rather much between the European countries. Overhere in the Netherlands the second best sold washing machine is an Indesit. Hotpoint isn’t even available here.

Whirlpool and Indesit are the two biggest names here in Europe. Whirlpool bought Philips appliances in the past to increase their market share in Europe. Now it looks like Bosch wants a bigger percentage of the American market. Unfortunately that was the end of the very innovative Philips brand.

“And if it did not originate in north America, when did it cross the pond?” This quote gave me the idea you wanted to know a bit more than that.

You will have to go way back for the first machines with wash plates/pulsators. In Europe Hoover had one, but on the side of the tub. AEG had machines with one on the bottom. We’re talking machines now before automatic washers were introduced. Asia had impeller machines too. See here for more...

Oh dear, I thought this is a public forum where everyone can give his or her opinion about appliances. Since when has someone to be asked about that? If you don’t like a certain opinion then skip it and perhaps write your own. Cake anyone?

To Jehova Witness’s Roman Catholics are worse than heathens!

Congratulations on the new set. It looks great in your laundry room. Happy washing!

Let’s stick to the topic the OP started. Automotive subjects are welcome in the Super Forum.

Yes, I’m a control freak too. I like my Siemens very much, but I hate the fact that it can only do a cotton spin. You have to baby sit it and prevent that it will spin too long. And no “dial pushing” lol

The noisiest one I know of was an Indesit from the 70’s.

Glad you are doing okay Bob. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you that you will not have to experience another one of those.

My thoughts exactly! It will fill up my balcony so much that will not be able to sit there. But I bet it will sell. Marketing is more important these days than the usefulness of products.

This is a new product here. A rotating clothesline, faster than a stationary line and cheaper to use than a dryer.

Great solution Paul. I like these dishwashers with a tank that you can fill. What brand is it? Do you have a solution for laundry too?

Thank you Eddie for sharing the car and your story about what roll it played in your life. Glad it’s over for you. I hope it brings some good memories of your father back too.

Louis Ill switch to HOT When you come visit ! Hugs ! Only Superhot is enough for me! LOL

Oh dear! White laundry mixed with colours, washing in cold water and who knows what else. Such abominations! I am proud to say I still use the highest temperature available and still separate my laundry. Appalled in the Netherlands...

Hi Bob, I assume the1953 didn’t have A/C either?

Another question here is if our dear member Jetcone has started using laundry pod’s considering reply #6. Hiding somewhere in Europe.
