Picked up this rare and unique machine today, a Norge coin op! I’ve never known Norge to be around in Australia so I was quite shocked and surprised to see one here. I picked it up from a sweet old lady who used it when her husband was alive but once he died it went into the shed for something...

Another recent aquisition was this gorgeous Hoover Commander Deluxe. Has the same options as the Hoover 1400 I posted recently. It has the old GE style ramp agitation instead of the Hitachi inspired style from the 1400 model. I prefer the agitation on this as it really turns them over so very...

Hey guys, Not posted in a long time but have had a few machines recently that may be of interest so i've decided to start posting again :-) First off is this Hoover 1400 Heavy Duty top loader washer from the early 90's. Very 90's colour scheme thats for sure. I remember our first house in...

Hi All I beg assistance please. My workplace had been given this Maytag commercial front load washer. I need help getting into the set up screen so I can adjust the wash time as it’s too short at the minute. I have read a manual but it seemed more geared to the coin op or card ready machines. I...

I think these machines are so unique and interesting :-) I wanted to document this listing for the archives and also make any Aussies aware that this is up for grabs. It's not in my state sadly. Regards Matt http://https//www.ebay.com.au/itm/182605807034

Hi All My fellow Perth washer enthusiast Eliot has recently acquired a Frigidaire top loader washer. Unfortunately it has two broken fins on the agitator and he is curious about how to replace it. Also what agitator would be the correct one to get. We seem to be able to find some Frigidaire...

Hi Guys, I am so happy to be able to tell you that after years of searching I finally found my Australian 'dream machine'. It is the Hoover Electra 535 Dual Spin front load washer. I first encountered one of these at a family friends house and fell in love with it. The colour scheme attracts...

Hi Guys, Whilst looking through some urban explorers videos on YouTube today I found this one of a small house in an unknown state of the U.S. It literally looks as if someone just up and left one day leaving everything behind including everything in the cupboards just about and their...

Hi Guys, On my weekly perusal of Ebay I found a pamphlet for an interesting vintage washing machine known as the Tray-way washing machine. Not your conventional machine but in fact makes use of your common Australian double laundry troughs. Reading the pamphlet you can see it was an agitator...

Hi Guys. Last week I tried out the 15 minute Super Quick cycle on my new Fisher and Paykel Washsmart washer. Made by Haier. I must say I was very impressed! The machine steps up its wash rhythm so it moves the clothes around more in the short wash phase. It then launches into the Vortex...

Hi Guys. So myself and my partner are about to move into our new rental home. Our previous landlords decided to sell our current home so we had to made a quick decision to move. For about nine months last year my partner was out of work and we were in a pretty dire financial state. To combat...

Hi All, So sometimes telling your friends about your passion for all things laundry can bear fruit. A couple of weeks ago my friend Cheryl turned up at my house with a washer in the back of the car for me. She had bought it for her mother from a scratch and dent place because her mother had...

Hi Guys, Was just perusing through the real estate pages looking to see how my local house prices are looking and came across this beautiful vintage/retro Australian family home. Some might take one look and say *yuck* but I think its got a charm to it. From the coloured patterning on the glass...

Hi guys, Recently when perusing the detergent aisles of my local supermarket I came across a new product from Finish, hand Dishwashing liquid! I don't do much hand washing of dishes but bought some anyway to try. I must say the bubbles it creates last forever! It performs just as good as...

Hey guys, Stumbled across this on Ebay tonight. Great little Aussie Hoovermatic model, seemingly running sweet as a nut. Comes with a tub of spare parts too ! And the seller made a video to demonstrate :-) Its in Queensland if any guys in that area want to nab it :-)...

Hi Guys, I have just recieved delivery of a new machine, a Beko WMB81641LC Brushless, 1600rpm 8KG washer. I bought it after the Electrolux decided it wanted to fry its control board, probably not helped by the fact that we never turn it off on the machine and leave it permanently in a state of...

Hi Guys, Me and the UK boys were discussing these when I was over there in August. Fisher and Paykel Australia have just launched a new range of great looking front loaders. These machines have something called a Vortex Wash system which incorporates the use of a small grey paddle at the back...

Hi guys, While visiting family around the UK, I stopped in at my great aunts house, which I have never visited before despite being local to where I used to live. Stepping into her house was like stepping back into the 70's, it took me aback! Her kitchen is the best as all her cabinets and...

Hi guys, I don't know if this has been discussed before. I've just arrived in the UK for a vacation. Looking through my grandmas cupboard I found she had two bottles of comfort pure fabric softener, both of which had practically solidified in the bottle. My gran has been in hospital for a few...

Hey Guys, Wandering around my local Coles, I did a double take in the detergent aisle when I noticed that there was Tide Original and April Fresh Downy on our supermarket shelves! I couldn't quite understand why it was there, I never thought there would be a need for Australian supermarkets...
