    What is your favorite modern top load washer (outside of Speed Queen or traditional designed washers)

    My dad owns the Aqua smart two , but the only thing I don’t like about that it seems to put lint over everything, but the one thing I really do like about it is of how fast it spins

    Australian laws are introducing the “two buttons start”

    Okay, in my opinion probably it would be a better idea to have a machine at chest height that’s smooth on the front so kids cannot climb up it into the drum as in in a similar way to the height of a top loader but having the drum at that height or even just going with the European style top...

    Australian laws are introducing the “two buttons start”

    I found the law and apparently it was introduced in 2024 although it does make me wonder, for any machines that are a front loader but they have the control panel at the back so kids can’t touch it would that still probably have to be a thing?

    Hoover Keymatic for sale in Adelaide Australia

    Honestly, I’ve had quite a bit of experience using different companies to move things, I have used pack and send, I have used“truckit.net“ and I have used Airtasker when the quotes from the other two previously were too high for my liking, there’s really been no damage with really anything of...

    Australian laws are introducing the “two buttons start”

    Apparently, it’s only for front loading machine machines, so things such as older top loaders with timers and twin tubs would still be all A-OK, although now I actually probably want to read up on the law of it

    Australian laws are introducing the “two buttons start”

    Potentially, but I would know that some washing machines that after you hit that button then you can shut the door and it’ll start by itself instead of waiting for you to shut the door and if you would hit the start button, you would have to physically shut the door and then hit the start button...

    Australian laws are introducing the “two buttons start”

    Hey guys, so I found out that Australia is going to be introducing a specific function for front loading washing machines, and that is where you have to hit two buttons to start the machine, it’ll prevent a toddler or someone who probably shouldn’t be in the laundry anyway from climbing in and...

    How long is too long to dry in a domestic dryer

    It’s Previously never taken this long to actually dry them and granted they haven’t been washed in over a year and occasionally had no pillowcase on but it is possible to wash them, my suggestion is if you have a large dryer you should definitely use it

    How long is too long to dry in a domestic dryer

    Yeah, cause my pillows were so dirty I actually spent the entire day getting them washed in three different automatic washing machines with the use of the extractor between each one of them until the water was clear, and I might see if I can try and do that but they do seem pretty much dry and...

    How long is too long to dry in a domestic dryer

    My dryer only has warm and hot for my large Simpson dryer, and only one temperature for my Westinghouse dryer , my mum‘s Fisher and Paykel dryer does have a low setting and a one hour setting, but I don’t think that would be long enough to gently bring the moisture out, I have roughly every 15...

    How long is too long to dry in a domestic dryer

    Oh okay, as my Westinghouse dryer only has a single temperature setting, and it reaches around 70 or 80°C, as it’s not controlled via the timer or any sort of temperature selector

    How long is too long to dry in a domestic dryer

    Hey guys, I have a question for you. How long is too long for running a clothes dryer? Considering I’m giving my vintage Westinghouse dryer a marathon, as it’s been drying the same down pillows for around six hours over the past 24 hours, not continuously, but it takes quite a lot of heat to...

    Finding parts for commercial washing machines

    I think that the control voltage is 240 V, so if I’m able to convert the motors to either single phase or find single phase motor that would be a drop-in replacement then it should all work perfectly fine, I don’t want to use VFDs as I like that when it throws itself into spin

    Finding parts for commercial washing machines

    Hey guys, I have a question for youse, when it comes to acquiring parts for vintage commercial machines, do you either try to find as many original parts as possible or do you adapt something Modern to work with the machine? A great example is the two machines I’m getting from Melbourne, both of...
