Thanks for the video Leon. Brought back many memories of my first visit to Australia in 1979. My aunt who lives in Tasmania had the top of the line Simpson washer late 70s that had hot, warm and cold temp selector rocker switch and the load size rocker switch. I loved the way it spun the water...

Has anyone ever noticed that in the US the new front load washers control panel seems to always have the spin speed listed as low medium high and the water as cold warm hot extra hot. In Europe and Australia the speed of spin is displayed eg 400rmp, 800rpm 1000rpm etc. And the temperature is...

I have both front and top load washers in my laundry. I have to say the front loader does a much better job than the TL machines and it is my main driver. In Australia we are very water conscious and FLs use a fraction of the water the TLs do I have 3 Fisher & Paykel TLs and they are not bad...

That was great! Thanks for sharing. I was trying to explain my fascination with washing machines to a work colleague last week, she couldn't really get it. Must show her the clip Simon

So, the repair guy came to look at the LG Trusteam washer and agreed the recirculating pump had broken. He wanted to fix it but I advised I had a replacement warranty, he thought I was mad wanting a new washer and tried very hard to persuade me to let him fix it but I stood by principles and...

Thanks for the tip. I managed to get the bottom front panel off and checked the tube from the re-circulation pump for blockages but none. Now the pump makes a really weird noise and no water pumping. Just remembered that I got a 5 year replacement warranty which is good until next year. Should...

I have a 10kg LG true steam washer. The re-circulation pump is activating but only a dribble of water comes out. Trying to open the back/bottom and rear but it is like fort Knox. Anyone have any tips how to get inside to check for blockages etc? Simon Sydney Australia

Hi Mike, Thanks for the YouTube of the Electrolux Dishmaid. Never seen one of those before. Looks like a nifty little machine. Pretty advanced for 1961, 55 years ago. Wow! Aussie Landry rooms doing well. I treated myself to a new F&P Washsmart TL which is so quiet even on spin. I had to let...

Sorry, Allan, not Andy,

Thanks guys for your replies and Andy yes, the Lilybet is the exact dishwasher. Love the brochure. Brings the memories flooding back. The US version looks similar, lots of interesting information. I just got back from Japan and they do not have regular dishwashers, only small bench top models...

Doe any of the UK guys remember a cylindrical shaped dishwasher that had a clear plastic dome that fixed to the base of the unit? When it was working you could watch the wash action. My best friend's Mum had one that sat on the draining board. I used to love watching it washing. Never seen one...

So I am trying to get a European top load horizontal axis washer for a friend who has a narrow space and can't fit a regular 600mm washer. I cannot find anything in Australia apart from regular frontload washers and regular impeller/agitator washers. Anyone here in Oz know if any are available...

Maytag Atlantis TL washer has to be the worst machine I have ever owned. It is really noisy, washes poorly and does a very bad rinse. It looks good but performs really poorly. I still have it but can't remember the last time I used it. I love the Maytag atlantis dryer though.

I love to watch my washing machines do the business. My partner often comes in to the laundry room to find me with my finger Jamed down the slot on my GE filter flo so i can watch the agitator and recirculation with the lid open. He thinks I am quite mad (he is a psychiatrist) which is a worry...

Guys I am curious, what is tub indexing? Is it where the outer tub is free to move during agitation? I have two F&P TL machines where the tub moves freely during agitation. All my other TL machines the tub is very static during agitation. . Cheers simon

We purchased an LG true steam dishwasher a little over 2 years ago. Not a great machine. Looks good and lots of features but we have to use the power cycle which is the longets hottest heavy duty cycle as all other cycles give poor results. So 70 days after the warranty ran out the machine...

A few years ago we started to renovate our home. We brought an outrageously expensive spa bath which we have loved. A little over two weeks ago the pump stopped working. Contacted the company who basically said it is out of warranty you just need to get an electrician and or plumber to fix it...

So, just did a load of towels in the F&P Intuitive with a final 8 min spin at 1000 RPM. Spun again in the KOH-I-NOOR at 2800 RPM and got 500ml extra water out. Had to do 3 separate loads in the spinner. Just popped the load in the dryer so should dry more quickly. It is a warm sunny day here in...

So the new KOH-I-NOOR spin-dryer arrived eventually yesterday (very frustrating). The company www.oziel-ecoappliances.com.au were great but the courier Co not so good. Made in Argentina but adapted for the Aussie market Really neat little machine with a spin speed of 2,800 RPM. Looking forward...

Still waiting on the spinner to be delivered. I only live 20 mins away from the company, would have been better to go directly to pick up, oh well perhaps will arrive next week. Just watched the vid on their website, and yes Mayken4now they seem to think only women do laundry, how very dare them...
