Alma Laden rebadged as Quellomat

[favorit]

Hi everyone,

do you remember that non automatic frontloader owned by Bert / Koalas (www.lamachinealaver.com)?

Louis posted the video round a month ago [check link]

Quellomat

have just found it on waschmaschinen-forum.de

Quelle is a postal shop (the same one that sells Privileg appliances) that outsourced this frontloader from Laden France.

The very only difference is levers on the Alma vs knobs on the Quellomat, anyway they are twins

is that a thermometer in the center of the window?

yes

this machine is not automatic. You have to open the stopcock and babysit the machine. You'll stare at the small window under the door until the proper water level shows up and reminds you to shut the stopcock.

Then you switch on the motor and the heater, and check the thermometer now and then. When the proper temp is achieved you have to switch off the heater. Then after 20 minutes you have to engage the drain pump.
Repeat without heater and just for some minutes, also you can spin in between, for 3/4/5 times to rinse.

To cut a long story short, the very only automatic feature this machine had is the reverse tumbling

The ad and the machine look like something from the last century.

Thank you for sharing this, I have seen this ad in the past, but never realised it was the same machine as the Laden frontloader. Well done!
