ASEA/ASKO have been sold as Maytag rebrands in the UK for ages, though whether this will continue now that a) Maytag UK has been subsumed into Whirlpool and b) Gorenje now own Akso...who knows... Also sold as ISE, and in the commercial market as Primus Bullet-proof machines however and parts...

Full frontal... I've never heard the like!! Great machine though Paul - I'm sure you'll raise the bar in terms of detail when it's done! And the tub graffiti seems to have been a feature on Hotpoint top-loaders in the UK - every single one that Rich and I have had between us has a litany of...

I am puzzled how this works with the Maytag label You're not the only one! Perhaps Mike knows what the story is with Maytag UK and the Asko-tags. Maytag UK was previously an import company based in Surrey, but is now part of Whirlpool UK, but the product line looks like a bit of a mix and...

Oh my God, Yes Rich - I thought so too...

- heres your fave!!! Hey Mike - now that's a PROPER washing machine! :-)

I think I know this picture... http://twintub.co.uk/epages/eshop188917.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/eshop188917/Products/%22Hotpoint%20Twin%20tubs%20(Fully%20Refurbished)%22

better than any Miele tested... Hurrah - there is hope for those of us with a V-axis top-load preference! Come on F&P IRL - stick a heater in them and bring them to Ireland...

I had read very positive reviews elsewhere - like every machine, it will have both! I suspect it is a 'love it or hate it' machine with its low profile, low water system (the genesis of the Maytag Bravos/Whirlpool cabrio line) - I'd love to have had it to see exactly what it can do. Maybe a...

Hi all - did anyone go for the F&P aquasmart that ended on ebay today? I had hoped to get it, but the seller had restricted bids to UK only (grrr), so my bids wouldn't register. Would have been a fun (and rare over here) machine to have! D...

Time does matter Fascinating to see the wide ranging and practically emotional response to all this - Mike what have you done to us!! :-) For my tuppence, time does matter, but this is down to personal preference and how we organise ourselves in our home - other people will be different. I'm...

really assuming you have tonge in cheek typing it Hi Mike Of course I have, can't believe you'd think I wouldn't!! What a load of drivel it is though - I'm sure they'll be queuing up in their droves to stick the 12 minute wonder RH (have we also seen these as 'Swan' too? seems all the...

Mike...do you really believe what the put in the Mail? <span style="font-size: medium; font-family: times new roman,times;">I'd have put you down as a reader of a better class of rag!  Nice marketing opportunity for the Russell Hobbs rebadgers nonetheless (what a sad thought considering the...

Is it true that Liebherr made fridges and freezers for Miele Yes it is - loads of nominal 'brands' are rebadges of others. Liebherr make very stylish products, and why not have them under their own name? As for which type, it depends on what your local market offer is. IMHO I would however...

Hey mark Check your email (assuming it's still the same!) David

Mind that in Europe "non HE" detergents never existe Except they are in the UK and Ireland and still are - P&G and Unilever both make them. Twin tubs and automatic top loaders were popular in both countries. The ratings are for efficiency NOT efficacy, so a G rated machine is quite capable of...

Gala from both branches Hi Yes, and sorry, I stand corrected - Galas by Antonio Merloni (as opposed to Indesit, formerly Merloni Elettrodomestici) do exist, and are also sold in Malta. The Maltese connection is probably an importer one - in the 60s UK Hotpoints were exported as Gala and...

Louis you fogot gala Gala is an Indesit (i.e. ex Hotpoint) brand - not Antonio Merloni...

Along came this... Firstly the Hotpoint 1509/05 appeared in 2010! It is in store for the moment, but it will go for a rebuild in due course, and then a Hotpoint Spindryer emerged too. Happy New Year to all in AW land!! David (who is up to his eyes in boxes...we move to Ireland next...

Fantastic! Rov How great and thank you so much for posting the pics - amazing find (now how many words are being eaten)! How marvelous that one of these has survived - and it looks to be in great shape. It's interesting to see elements of the other Hotpoints of the time in the design - the...

Ummm all sounds a bit iffy to me Lol - yes Keith Iffy only a piccy...then we'd know!!! Words may of course be eaten...
