Nice My aunt bought a US T/L about 12 yrs ago, she loves it and wished she had been able to get one when her kids were younger. Heavy on the detergent though unless you use handwash/twintub detergent.

liamy1 Glad you eventually got things sorted. What USA T/L machine have you got?

Brilliant, thanks for posting. Have always been eager to see operating instructions for the spin washer.

Thanks Mike Looking forward to the restoration pics :-). Apologies for being impatient.

What an amazing job you have done Darren, well done!!! Wonderful machine, looking forward to the videos.

In the 80's my mum had a friend who worked for Heinz. He told her that at that time that the got 2000 cans of soup from one chicken....now that's making food stretch!! :-) Sainsbury's in the UK is running a big ad campaign at the moment getting people to buy a roast for Sunday and giving...

Called the stain eraser ......... ball, it's actually quite handy

I haven't seen one of these since I was 8 or 9. Mum's friend has it right in the far corner of the kitchen with the units build all around it, Great find, super machine.

Those washers are going to end up stinky, the 30min cycle will be abused no end. Misleading of her to say washes a full load in 30 mins when in fact the max load for that cycle is 8lbs.

What a wonderful kitchen, we had similar units when I was a child although they were free standing ones. The washer has come up a treat.

In the 18 months i've owned my BOL Indesit dryer I've only once had bedding roll into a ball, this was my fault for not shaking the load out. My dryer has two paddles also but they are wave shaped and off set from each other so as to move the load in a figure of eight movement, this coupled with...

Thank you...... .......for posting the video. Truly the strangest final spin I've ever seen....must say I'd have thought the machine faulty! Loving the motor sound though, reminds me of noises from my childhood.

When Persil liquid (Unilever) first came out in the UK you used the caps as the dosing ball, that made a hell of a noise. I think with the US traditionally using T/L machines dosing balls for liquid would not be required, even with F/L becoming more common the US, machines have dispensers which...

Well done on getting this lovely machine up and running again, really looking forward to seeing the video. A neighbour had the Indesit version but never saw it in action.

Aquarius1984 Persil capsules do state on the packaging not to use in washer dryers, I phoned Unilever to ask why not and was told there is a possibility that the coating on the capsules may not fully dissolve and get melted onto clothing or the drum during the drying process. I have to admit, I...

Suzie Homemaker vacuum Looks amazing! Mind you, I would have loved the washer too, have seen some youtube clips of it in action.

Equator Hybrid I know this has been discussed before, the full size H/A topload washer dryer. Will run on 220v and be build in the USA, is now on the website. http://equatorappliance.com/?page_id=543

Pre-wash You could always use the Fast 30 as a pre-wash cycle. I pre-wash white loads that are exceptionally dirty, however this doesn't occur that often.

Looks to be a Haier machine.

I bought my mum her first automatic in 1986 when I left home at 17, it was a BOL Ariston similar to the picture except it had a brown facia and two option switches. (Picture originally posted by ariston4life). The first automatic I owned was a reconditioned Bendix 7133.
