Looking great! Looking great there Mike!   John L told me he was there. I hope to start work on my laundry shed soon. Got the electrician ready to go and plumber after him.   Cheers Leon

Lovely! That looks very nice indeed.   This was one of the machines I had brought over to Australia in 2016 and John Lefever was very kind to wire it up for me when he was here last year.   It certainly is a fun machine to watch.   I hope you'll have lots of fun with it.   Cheers Leon

With John and Panthera on this.... Keith, I'm with John and Panthera on this one. Until such a time that you can show evidence of how good this Speed Queen cleans (in your opinion) such as getting your friends to show us some before and after pics and / or video evidence like Eugene did, you...

Thank you message Hi Brad.   Thanks! I actually said: 'I tried my best, that's all I can say and wanted to thank everyone there (being the audience) for their support'   Cheers Leon

February 21 The air date was Weds February 21. It's still on iView till August. Cheers Leon

Hi everyone,   I recently appeared on an Australian Quiz show called 'HARD QUIZ', with my 'speciality topic': 'Vintage Australian washing machines!'   As you can probably guess, my topic created quite a stir on the program.    So you can try to understand the show: each contestant has a...

I just received a response from the Regional Sales Manager of the South Pacific region of Alliance Laundry. His response was that the current 240V models we get here in Australia with the gearbox will continue for the 'foreseeable future'.  I can only deduce that Speed Queen will have two...

Fisher & Paykel As Glenn has stated, here's my 10kg F&P Washsmart in action. You can still choose a manual water level and deep rinse fill. Cheers Leon <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Export models for Australia still with transmissions I contacted our Speed Queen distributor here in Australia and this is the response I received:     <span style="font-family: Calibri;">In answer to your question, we have not planned to change any of our current models in the <span...

Thanks! Thanks to the majority of you all for your nice comments, much appreciated!   A couple of answers to some questions:   Chris (gizmo): The shed is from Titan so their red colour is called 'Heritage Red'. If you look at Colourbond's chart, i'm pretty sure it's 'Manor Red'   Justin...

Hi everyone, For the past 18 months I've had my partner David ask me to move in with him, so after 4 years together I'm making that committment. The sticking point has been what to do with 60+ machines, as they certainly couldn't all come with me. So, a solution came about when asking my...

Control Panel Hi Eugene, Thanks for the pics, much appreciated. Is the control panel colour actually black or a dark brown? I've actually emailed Alliance this morning asking if this is design all export markets will get, considering we in Australia don't have the same stringent energy...

Speed Queen with heaters I queried Alliance some time ago about the current models with a heater. If you look at the parts diagrams there are definitely versions with a heater for the export market. The answer I got was it was for the 'Chinese domestic market' so even Australia doesn't get a...

Looks fun Thanks for sharing Mike   Looks like a lot of fun!   Cheers Leon

Cycle times John mentioned to me today the cycle times have been increased.   I'm sure he can correct me, but the cycle time for the Regular cycle is now 45 mins apparently   Cheers Leon

What a change! Hi John, Well, that's certainly a BIG change. Like you, I'm wondering just how effective will the wash action be? I was just thinking: isn't it going to be very 'splashy' with a full tub of water going backwards and forwards? You'll certainly need to show how it washes when...

HE Speed Queen Hey Greg, This is one of the two models we get here in Australia: See the Speed Queen Oz website link below. It has a 'HE' or 'Normal Eco' cycle which consists of a number of soaks and a series of spray rinses rather than a deep rinse. Cheers Leon...

Lint filter Hi John, It is a recirculating lint filter through the lint tray. You just don't see it working due to the angle of the camera. Cheers Leon

Hi guys,   David and I spent the last week entertaining John Lefever (Combo52) while he was in Australia.   While John was staying at my place, he took a keen interest in my collection and did most of the work in getting the Maytag Neptune TL that I brought out in the container up and...

Gorgeaus Don ABSOLUTELY gorgeous Don   Congratulations!   Cheers Leon
