Wonderful reading material Paul! They sure like the Philips. I must say that the price for that machine is much lower than I thought. The later Philips washers were quite expensive

The £166.42 the Aquamatic cost when this article was published (1976 I'm guessing?) would be the same as paying £934.21 today with inflation.
Certainly not cheaper! Even the cheapest machine there (the Indesit L5, which had a 380rpm max spin speed I believe) which cost £124.30 back then would cost £697.77 now.
That's why machines back then were so much better made than they are now, you paid Miele prices for a basic Indesit.
Interesting that the Zanussi top loader's spin performance left clothes with 100% water retention, yet they say it spun! Does anyone know what the spin speed woul have been?
That Philips is a beaut though, congrats! It's always especially nice to find a childhood machine!
