2 years ago bought a new FL waser and heat pump dryer, both Series 8 by Bosch. Washer is the best I have ever owned despite it only using "a teaspoon of water" etc. The dryer has however been underwhelming. By an obscure process I gave the set to my nephew, so yesterday bought another Series 8...

Currently crusiing through the Persian Gulf to Dubai. Guest laudry onboard "Azamara Journey" is 6 Speedqueen stacked washers and dryers. Seem to be used almost continuously 13 hours per day ( 8 am- 9pm ). I have used them on multiple occasions and they work well but are gentle on clothes. Short...

Bought a Bissell Crosswave on weekend . So far surprisingly useful/effective. It came with a small sample bottle of cleaning solution. I went on line to Amazon and ended up buying Bissell carpet shapoo by mistake ( less than a liter ` $25 ) but then relised that the precribed product for...

How were Super wash cold + warm selected? Items-13 + 14 in the ad. I count only 6 two position switches.

Here in Melbourne Australia it is a long weekend so I decided to dip my toe in the Wifi digital musical pond. Little did I know how disorienting it would be. I went to JB Hifi and had a choice between entry level LG, Sonos and Bose. I chose a Bose Touch10 speaker because they were the best...

Westinghouse ( but was made by Electrolux ) dryer ( sensor 5 kg ) stopped working on Sunday ( 5 days before due to go OS on holidays ! ). I think 6 years old so dont expect more ( I like things to run then die ( not limp along )) Repairs and repair men take too much time! Want a dryer in...

An odd email has popped up. It is from a work acquaintance who has not previously emailed me and is of an age where he might not automatically be at the cutting edge of the digital frontier. It says he wants to share some files on Google drive. Sounds OK so far but when I went to log in it...

People on this web site are all knowing and seeing but with a tremendous eye for detail and minutiae. Yesterday I was in a parking lot and saw a woman start her car with the door still open and one foot on the ground. I hadn't seen this done for years but on reflection I recall this was a habit...

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas-holidays are the perfect excuse to try out other machines (please no one tell the F+P at home). Mal and I are over in Western Australia (3000kms away on the other side of the continent) visiting his bro+SIL. They are being most hospitable and easy to get...

In a surely doomed and futile effort to hold back the ravages of time I use Clinique skincare products for men. Whenever I'm in the States I stock up. For example I can buy shaving gel for between $13 and $14 but here in Oz the same product is sold for $29! The US Clinique website will only...

For the first time in the twenty years that Mal and I have been a couple both fsmilies are coming to Christmas night at our house. This is also the first time that the mother-in-laws have met but that's another story! We are serving amongst other things turkey breast roll for better or worse. We...

I am having problems with my TWO stanav units. In the Corolla neither will charge from the cigarette lighter socket despite the pilot light glowing on the charger plug and the light around the socket illuminating. What could the problem be? I bought a second unit but that does exactly the same...

I'm lucky enuff to be in Manhattan till Monday evening and would like to check out what new washers are available. Bloomingdale's and Macy's dont seem to have appliance departments. Where should I look on this island? Peter

Whilst looking at Chris' Miele listing on eBay I noticed a sponsored link for a "Hartmann" frontload washer sold at oo.com.au. Anyone know who they are? Peter

Does anyone here download from iTunes? I have always wanted to have the complete Ella Fitzgerald song book series (how my mother didnt guess I was gay I dont know...). I have recently bought an iPod and started to download. The complete song book was priced at $16.98. I thought that was for one...

What year does this model date from, judging by the colours that it was available in it seems to be pre 1964. When was the last Easy washer made? What became of the company? Peter

I always follow and enjoy this site but I don't post very often partly because I am in awe of your skills and persistence in pulling off some fabulous restorations. I went shopping today in Melbourne for a new front loader. I don't really need as we have a Fisher+Paykel 5.5kg with the extra...

The name wasnt familiar to me. Who were they? Did they manufacture in their own right or were they rebadged products?
