I would like the top loader designs available in Brazil sold here. They have some pretty nifty designs and the styling is very contemporary. We get top loaders from Asia, why not Brazil? I still don’t understand why Fisher & Paykel have discontinued their top loading washers in the US. Their...

Just one question. If this dishwasher performs so well why do you hang a deodoriser in there? Does your machine smell?

I find that as well with modern front loaders. They don’t rinse quite as well as they once did. The Speed Queen does a better job of rinsing out clothes. However, that said, my SQ is from 2007. I don’t know if their newer washers perform as well.

Bosch and Speed Queen will deliver. The SQ doesn’t need to heat it’s own water, but for very dirty clothes you can do a pre-wash in cool or tepid water and a main wash in warm or hot. You can also soak your clothes to allow detergents more time to do their enzyme thing. The Speed Queen will...

Those machines look sensational. They are real head-turners. It is wonderful that you are still able to find such treasures.

3200 rpm 😱? Your towels must be permanently fused to the drum 😜 It’s hard enough pulling stuff off the sides after being spun at only 710. What brand is your extractor? SpaceX? 🚀

Here in Oz... 20 Mule Team Borax is still available through IGA supermarkets.

20 Mule Team Borax...yes, absolutely

"The toploaders on the Australian Whirlpool website certainly don't come from Europe. More like China or Korea or so." You are right. However, some years back Whirlpool eliminated top loaders from their line-up over here and the two washers that are now offered are a recent addition. Their...

40 years ago Malleys Whirlpool made excellent products. Our first Australian fridge was of that brand and it remained in the family for more than 30 years before we gave it away. The interior tub was fully enamel lined and the door liner was of the highest quality plastic, which showed...

Thank you Leon...I do hope that someone else may have some knowledge that they can share with us. It is such a shame that these vintage appliances have almost completely disappeared.

Can you help identify the large appliance in the screen shot and share your knowledge, if you know what this is. This comes from a short film on YouTube called 'Life in Australia - Geelong' dated 1966. [this post was last edited: 3/22/2021-21:24]

I have an AEG now with the power lift basket that replaced my F&P Dishdrawers. I find that the wash cycles have been dumbed down. Even on the longest and most intensive cycle the first rinse is very short and it doesn't even heat the water. I still put in liquid detergent for the pre-wash, but...

Enjoy...

I get you...this is how I feel about front loaders. I guess you and I are not a match made in heaven then. ;0)

Hate is a very strong word Bob. You don't strike me as a hater.

"@rapunzel then you want the TC5. The TR series are the ones we're complaining about whose tub and agitator slowly turn back and forth." No, I like neither machine. I want the options of the the TR7 with the transmission of the TC5...either of the current iterations are not satisfactory in...

I'll have model TR7, but with the regular 210 degree stroke transmission.

Damn, that is one cute hat...<3 Great washer BTW, hope you can fix it. You look like somebody who can fix anything ;o)

Beauty is subjective and I quite like the look of most RVs - they are purpose-designed and built. As for maintenance and costs, well, it depends on how much use and enjoyment one gets out of something. We have had three Winnebagos over three decades and without much issue. Because we enjoy RV...
