Am so excited I could<span style="color: #993366;"> SCREAM!!!</span> Attached is a pic of my soon to be (in long distance transit as I type this) 3 belt Fuchsware 5.5 kg Multispeed washer. It has been in use up until recently, the elderly lady ( bless her heart) whom it belonged to has since...

  Here are some pics of modern machines which are permanently plumbed in our laundry/garage.    Must admit these machines have surpassed all my expectations and proven me so very wrong in that I considered them nothing but junk from when they first arrived. Predicted they would only last a...

This machine is in storage and so I cannot make a clip of it in action, but I did manage a few pics. It works like nobody's business and with only one motor to drive the wash agitator and spin can both simultaneously. The spinner never stops and operates with the wash side on, I'm sure that its...

Seasons Greetings This very early Hitachi was advertised on gumtree for a song. Was suprised to find it in such great shape and in very good working order too. BTW I remember a fellow SA member thread about very early indesit washer, I know of a place where there is such a machine and more and...

After reading a thread in which Laundress explained (in such riveting detail) washing a pile of cotton sheets using a Hoovermatic! After reading the thread I suddenly desired a twin tub of my own. pity i cant find a Hoovermatic too:( following is my 3rd one this week!

Picked this workhorse up for R75.00! Gave her a service and a good clean. I'm afraid her fascia was so worn that i decided to rather scrub it all of. rather that than have it flake away bit by bit. I don't remember seeing any other Hitachi twin tubs on any of the threads. any members who...

I've been laundering entire household of 9 ever since I can remember. started in early 90's. my mum had a basic model Phillips which lasted a few years.Every machine after the Phillips rarely operated by anybody other than myself. A front loader washing machine is not ideal for large family's...

a loner pops up on gumtree, just look at the poor thing... would love to save this, but its too far.

Doing my usual "spot check's" on Gumtree and saw her advertised as "in need of attention" R500. The couple who sold her to me were kind enough to deliver her to my door step. I was amazed to find all she needed was a new pump.... an independent electric pump!?! never would have believed a heavy...

The Maxx WFL 1200 needed new brushes so used the older WFB 2005 to fix the problem. I do like the older machine more as it matches my Bosch Dishwasher, but it seemed to race through wash times! Even when started at B it would wash its way through to D within 10 min.?? Where these machines made...
