Hi Paul Well, I guess you may have seem my Aqualtis and Zanussi vids (plug, plug, plug LOL)! I have no issues with the Aqualtis, other than, the pump can vibrate (but they may have repaired this), it does have a rather fussy out of balance and lastly the 1200 does not tell you how long it has...

Hi guys and thanks for all your opinions. Hoovermatic - Well you are certainly correct, my Electron is 22 years old and still working. In fact as it is cosmetically in such mint condition I tend to forget how old it is! So perhaps my comments are rather harsh. Gary - you are right I need to...

Welcome Steve (Lurkalot) Great thread Paul, despite my nostalgia thread I love these machines, such a shame these have rotted so much. It somehow reminds me of the West Pier in Brighton, a thing of great engineering and design left to rack and ruin! Hi Steve, thanks for the low down on the...

Hi all Well the concensus definately leans towards the more old fashioned machines. People seem to like the no nonsense programs and I definately miss the old fashioned dials that I can move on but I do have a few questions - Lee (and every old Hottie fan) my mother had a 9530, which I loved...

Hi Jon, and thanks for your comments, I hope you are well. For those of you that are interested I have done a quick vid of my old Whirlpool. Rob

Here is a picture of a Zanussi produced a few years ago. This shows the internal construction. Rob

Hi all you wonderful people! I know similar threads have been created but haven’t seen one for a while, certainly not for European machines. I’ve been wondering if new machines really are worse than the rose tinted machines from yester-year? Don’t get me wrong I love vintage machines but really...

Hi Darren Great to hear he took you seriously! At least it will be repaired. Maybe a sell on ebay with a reserve would be the thing but I understand money is tight! I must admit having had 2 of these machines (WD640 and Aqualtis) Electrolux is preferable. I think Indesit cut too many corners...

Hi Jed and thanks, although I absolutely hate my voice on film. It's rough old south London LOL! I must say I really love this machine, it's a lot of fun. Not sure if the distribution rinse or jet helps but who cares it's fun. BTW I did check and the the pump does not go on and off, the jet is...

The second, is the distribution rinse and interim spins. This may not work, otherwise go to my channel Rob

Video's Here are some videos I did yesterday. The first is an overview and the wash.

Hi Jed I can certainly see your point about the very heavy loads these machines have to take. In the UK the standard size is about 13-14 pounds, although they come bigger and smaller. They used to be only about 9-10 pounds (dry load). How the bearings will fair today, is a guess, the sometimes...

Hi all Paul - Please be aware that the Zanussi may stick out, you might want to check this first, they are quite deep. Nick - Remember that the Inspire is also Jetsystem, only it goes by another name. Also the Zanussi and I imagine Inspire have a beep at the end. Reevoo customers have moaned...

And of course the Liberator ad!

Hi Paul This was on Ebay a year ago or so!

The Jetsystem Hi Paul I can definately recommend the Jetsystem. I'm not sure if the Jetsystem does make any real difference but it does seem to help and the wash is fantastic! You can also add extra rinses and the levels aren't too low. I love this machine because It's fun with so many...

Believe it or not, mine has the same back as yours! Hi Rob and Paul Great thread, and great restoration. I love these machines and it's interesting to see that this machine has a profile spin! I think this was a better system than mine. Believe it or not my machine has a replacement back...

Hi Paul and Rob Congratulations on your new acquired machines, they look lovely and mint. I wonder, does this have the interim straight to top speed spin? I don't actually know how to tell how old my 18580 is, can you help at all? Rob
