my laundry room Hey Mike, yes I do have some pics and here they are. I am pleased with the way the laundry room has turned out. I have a second room also in the basement with the older GE and Simpson and Maytag washers

Hi guys, Just finished renovating my Hoover twin tub. Pump had seized up and a few minor leaks. Got this one on eBay a few years back. The Australian model with no water heater. I used to love using my Mum's wash dog in the 70s in the UK when i was a kid. The one with the built in fill hose...

Thanks for the explanation Al. I was wondering if the pump runs all the time the motor is running, does the water recirculate back in to the tub during washing? I wouldn't think that when the empty pipe is attached at both ends it would be like a dead end. Surly that would not be good for the...

Hoover single tub emptying Hi guys, this is a really interesting thread. I have memories of neighbours having the single tub and spinner side by side. My mum had a hot point twin tub with the same solid arm that pumped from the spinner in to the sink. How does the single tub empty? I know...

Tide Downey in Au. Well Rod, you are correct, Tide Downy down to a little over $10 brings it in to line with Aussie products. Sorry Rapunzal, I admire your sentiment re the Coles / Woolies monopoly here in Australia but I had to buy a couple. I suspect Coles will stop selling it soon. I do...

Thanks for the info Rod, I will have to check out my local Coles. I do love the smell of Tide Downey.

Hey Leon, very nice machine. Aside the control panel looks virtually the same as the F&P intuitive which was the first washer I brought when I arrived in Australia. Great machine and still going very strong. Yours has a faster spin and bigger capacity I believe. The recirculation and the little...

All very interesting replies. I think cutting cost of manufacture and other options for removing lint lead to the demise of the filter flo. I have two fisher and paykel tl machines with no filtering aside lint getting trapped in the outer tub. They wash really well but not as exciting as the...

I have two old GE filter flo washers from the 70s and 80s, they are great washers and I love the filter flo action. Why did the whole recirculating water thru a filter go out of fashion? I have a Maytag Atlantis and it washes really poorly compared to the older filter flo washers. And it is...

Cold water washing I think the poor description of the drum size may be a translation issue. I have the brochure which is mostly in Chinese but some English which is a funny translation. I find that the instruction manuals I have for my LG washer and LG dish washer read a little strange and am...

Hi guys, Spending a few days in Hong Kong and just come across this very interesting washer manufactured by Hitachi. Looks really cool. Over 10 kg load with 1600 rpm spin. It has a gravity drain with no pump which is odd but it is a very advanced washer dryer and would love to get one but alas...

So I have this really cool new LG steam washer. The water and soap from the soap dispenser enters the heart of the wash directly thru a portal by the door rather than directly in to the outer tub. So I was wondering why no one has used spray rinsing in FL washers. As the tub spins water poring...

Hi Kevin, The tub is solid. There is a screw plug in the tub. When it is time to empty you unscrew the plug and move the hole in the tub to lowest position. Water then drains with gravity in to a lower tank and then the pump pumps out in to the Landry trough. It is a very basic macine so I hope...
