I reckon they're gonna be sitting on that one for some time. 2000 Euros is somewhat optimistic. However, I'd leave them my contact details for when they are serious about selling that machine.

Thank you for posting about this awesome find. What a beautiful machine.

For people who want a 'traditional' top loading agitator washer, the SQ is that in construction and function. I've been doing laundry with a SQ top loading washer for almost 30 years now and I am onto my second SQ washer (purchased in 2007). The first SQ ran for 20 years without a hitch. The...

I've seen Kenmore washers and dryers being sold at Harrods during the 1980s.

How much are they asking for it?

Looks like they were mucking around in the above video, maybe there is a problem with the fill. There is clearly not enough water to allow that pair of jeans to get washed. These are regular impeller top loaders, not HE machines and they do fill water to the top of the basket usually. As long as...

Yup, Fisher and Paykel are among the best washing machines out there.

Growing up with front loaders and powder detergents in childhood, mold and odors didn't exist. Maybe it is the new enzyme formulations and low wash temperatures that promote biological agents to build up inside modern machines. The use of plastic outer tubs may also contribute to this problem.

I'm leaning towards the idea that the corkscrew on the center post (which is not an auger anyway), is a cosmetic device to give consumers something that they are familiar with. Few people will question what it does and assume that it works just as it was intended in dual action machines. A plain...

"....we are never going to go back to the way things were..... " We may not go back, but people are choosing to hang on. Over here reconditioned Speed Queen washers sell for more than a thousand bucks and come with a 2 year warranty. There are enough consumers, absolutely desperate for...

Of course, and the familiar corkscrew design does look more impressive than a plain center post.

In other words the corkscrew auger serves little practical purpose. The agitation system is an impeller plate with a center post; not unlike what Fisher & Paykel as well as other brands have been offering to Australian and Kiwi consumers for a few decades. It is a good and efficient wash system...

Oily clothes If I am not mistaken that Bubbles laundry dude is scooping powder from a regular Kirkland detergent container. Maybe the stuff in the cardboard box is some kind of commercial laundry degreaser.

Shouldn't the auger be continuously turning clockwise during agitation? What is the point of it going back and forth, when the corkscrew is meant to push clothes towards the bottom of the agitator, but with every anti-clockwise turn it does the opposite.

At the time and after having paid a handsome sum of money for that 'disposable' television, I imagined that it would be repaired; which was Samsung's initial response to the problem. The replacement television developed a similar issue with the control board approx. a year and a half after I...

In the past, when the world was good and everything was rosy, big appliance manufacturers had their own service departments, where they trained and equipped their repairmen to be competent, professional and friendly. Now its all subcontractors and there probably isn't even a proper vetting...

Re. Gentle Cycle Not useless at all, but designed for delicate fabrics, knits, silk and your wife's wash'n'wear dresses. When you wash stuff on gentle it is better to wash smaller loads in lots of water. You want the clothes to be near the bottom of the agitator where the washing takes place...

If you were to marry into that family you would care a great deal.

Somebody call the ASPCA That's the saddest looking cactus I've ever seen. HOW COULD YOU?! I'm gonna be sobbing all day now.

To my utter shock and amazement Costco, of all places, introduced chained-up carts. Now, most people here don't use coins much and I've been caught out twice without an appropriate coin to release the cart. I had to go all the way up to their service counter (three flights and the elevators...
