Hi guys, So yesterday I took the bull by the horns and went to Harvey Norman (Aussie appliance dealer). I was torn between three machines. The AEG at $2400, the Samsung 10kg washer at $1700 and the LG truesteam at $2000. I ended up getting the LG. lots of positive comments and feedback re this...

Hi there, cosmetically the washer looks in great condition. Why do you need to replace the outer tub? The filter flos classically are prone to rust and corrosion around the sump. I got an old FF that leaked live a sieve . I removed the inner tub and patched the holes in the outer tub which were...

Who would pay $700 for a 1970,s Wilkins service single tub wringer? I picked one up last year, similar condition for $5 and it was and is in working order. Check it out. Not surprised there are no bids...

GE Filter Flo mini basket. Been after one of these for ages but the seller won't ship to Australia which is a shame. Very disapointed!

When I was a kid, back in the 70 s I was quite obsessed with washing machine and dishwashers (not much changed really). However, when ever I went to someone's house I always wanted to check out their washing machine. In those days in the UK mostly twin tubs but a few automatic washers such as...

Thanks rp2813. I think there are way too many acronyms used these days. Sometimes when I go to a meeting at work and all these acronyms are used I often have no idea what they are talking about. I get quite a lot of pleasure stopping them and asking what an acronym means. Another very common one...

Washer111 I agree that layout costs for solar are high. It was already installed in our house when we brought it. It does have an elecric booster for cloudy winter days which works on a timer to take advantage of cheaper electricity at night. Today it is chucking it down with rain but from...

Cold water washing here in Australia is all the rage in top load machines. Personally I don't like it, even with cold power washing detergent I don't think results are great and especially gym stuff comes out smelling a little off too. My Maytag TL has controlled cold where it lets a little hot...

Cheers Gary, quite obvious now I know. Simon

What does IMHO mean? Seen it and a few variants such as OTHO. Never been good with acronyms. Simon.

Great thread guys and really interesting information re power in USA. I have a Seimens dishwasher that we shipped over from UK when we relocated to Australia. Must be getting on for 11 years old. Hooked up to cold water here but uses such a small amount of water it heats up really fast. However...

Yep, hanging out on a sunny day is great. However, stuff comes out much softer from the dryer. I always dry towels in the dryer. On the line they go quite hard and abrasive. Good to have both options.

And finaly even more energy saving!

From the GE Filter Flo to the Maytag Atlantis for the next wash. We have solar heated hot water here in Sunny Sydney but I still like to not waste hot sudzy water

A variation on suds save and return, I call this suds transfer

GE Filter Flo in action

Hi everyone, I was doing the laundry this morning and felt the need to upload some videos of my washers in action. Also demontrating my bit to save on water and energy. I hope you like my short videos.

Hey Kevin, Hope you have a great time. I will certainly be checking it out via the Internet down here in Australia. Have good one! Simon and Spencer

I missed out on this one this time. Shame would have liked to have it. My partner was very relieved I got out bid.

I have been bidding on this older Maytag, looks in good condition and it is really local for easy quick pick up. Price is getting a little steep, can't decide to keep bidding or let this one go. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260985004773#ht_1146wt_922
