Hey all! today i got a bosch max wfl 1662 washer. very good machine but i cant find a manual and there is a mystery option button. its got the spin sped reduction button (800-400), pre wash, rinse hold,and the mystery is a shirt with 3 horizontal stripes. what does that button do? does it...

Yes I agree I really wanted to download a manual or 2 and they only had manuals for their TVs on the site :( if I ever found a used 1 or a shop soiled 1 I'd consider buying it just to play with it

Hhmmm this is proving very interesting indeed. Thanks for all the feedback

I never even thought of whirlpool But yes now that you mention it they do kind of look like whirlpools

That's a very food feature to have. The 7kg eco bubble in SA doesn't have that styling, that looks like the 8.5kg here in SA. Well I'd put a machine like that in the house for everyone to see

Hey all! A few weeks ago I saw a hisense front loader in 1 of the major department stores here and I was quite interested. It was a 7.5kg with 1000 rpm spin speed and didn't seem to be a rebadged version of anything, however it did have a bosch looking drum. It also had loads of programmes...

Congrats on your purchase! If I'm correct that's the 8.5kg model? I saw it in a store here and it looks very good! Just the cycle times looked a bit long when I downloaded the manual. Please keep us posted, I've always wondered how good the rinsing is on the eco bubble machines, as I imagine it...

synthetic 60 I wash towels on synthetic 60 in my LG because the water level is higher for wash and rinse and its a few mins shorter than cottons 60. But I wash linen on cotton 60 because the tumbles are a bit stronger. I suppose it boils down to personal preference

finish We use finish powerball tablets simply because a friend of my dads can get a pack of 6 x 30 tablet boxes at a fraction of what the store price is. And I find tablets clean better than powder. Often our supermarket has bio crystal tablets on a buy 1 get 1 free special so we'll buy those...

I like Purex liquid as I get 104 - 108 washes out of the 96 wash bottle. OMO auto liquid is amazing though! Its awesome on stains but its expensive and in winter a big bottle only lasts 2 weeks so kinda pointless for a family. Powders are just as good and last longer. I put the powder straight...

If you're willing to pay the shipping to South Africa, send it! Hahaha :p

well... i sort as follows and never have issues: summer - darks (cold), lights+brights(warm), whites(warm/hot), towels(hot), linen(hot), white linen winter - darks, lights+brights, jerseys, jackets/big tops/track pants, jeans, whites, towels, linen, white linen have never had issues wih top or...

will also never stop Here in SA the climate is perfect to line dry all year round. I tumble dry certain things but 95% of the laundry gets line dried. Will never tumble dry sheets or towels straight after washing as I love the fresh smell from the line. I fluff the dry towels in the dryer...

Here in SA, the older generation (like my grandparents) and some of thr younger generation put their dryers in the bathroom but the washer is in the kitchen or laundry. Here its very popular to have the washer dryer and dishwasher in the kitchen simply for convenience or in the scullery/laundry...

Well we used OMO auto liquid that finished today (not worth the price as the big bottle only lasted 2 wks with using 1 small cap in the 13kg samsung tl and half a cap in the LG 7kg fl) so we bought a bag of good ol' fashioned OMO multi active handwash today. Have used it in the fl before and...

@nathan How does the panasonic perform? Do you get good results? Is it a machine you would recommend? @autowasherfreak the repair man is fetching her today. twinnies and old machines are popular here and generic pumps widely available. My mom and I aren't twinnie fans but I buy and sell (and...

money shot ...

money shot ...

controls in true apartheid era style, the controls are in english and afrikaans. from left to right: pause/restart, wash function (wash, rinse, drain), wash action (heavy, normal, gentle), wash time (2,5,7,10,15 mins) and spin time (15 secs, 1,3,5 mins)

hey all! so i have seen may of these touch control twinnies here in SA but never used one but 2 days ago i was given 1. needs work as the pump sticks and leaks a bit. but here are some pre fix and clean up pics. enjoy!
