European Washing Machines.

[hassney]

Hey AW.Org Gang, hope everyone is ok and well?

Here I have a few video’s here below of favourite my machines of Europe. A brief history, during my teen years, my dearest close friends (my friends who gave me the nick name Hazanussi) had Bosch Washer Dryer. I'm not sure what model number it was to be exact, but it was defiantly similar to Bosch V695 series (see video below)

I have many favourite machine’s, but I have to put these series of machine's in my top category, simply because of the way these machines worked, the spin intervals (which alone took at least 15-20mins after each rinse), the clicks when it started to spin and the humming of the pump and these machines had style.

I have shared similar machines on here which leads me to my next question...

Bosch V650:

Siemens 960:

I’m wondering what are the chances of finding these machine's here in the UK? What period were these machines made and does anyone know or have any advertisement or brouchers? So far I've found video's on these model numbers. Bosch V620, V650, V690, V695 & Siemens 960, 931..and many more.

Cheers gang,
Hass

Nice picture! Is that by any chance Wiljan's Bosch?

 

[hassney]

Hey Louis

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I know Wiljan's has a Bosch so, its likely to be his picture yes, though not 100% sure because I found it from a website I'm not too <span lang="EN-GB">familiar </span>with </span>

 

[foraloysius]

Which website is that?

 

[hassney]

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I found it from here Louis </span>

Yes, that is his alright. Wiljan is one of the moderators of that forum. He had a wash-in a while ago, I was there too. Watched that Bosch a bit.

<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Ah I see!! Nice to hear he invited people over...Wijan has a nice collection of machines from what I've seen aka on his YouTube, the Bosch, my close friend had the similar one to Wijan's, but her machine was a Washer-Dryer. It had an extra door fitted which you can open and close, to blend in with the kitchen units.</span>

Here's a video that was made there, the Bosch appears a few times in it.

Hi there Hassney, really like your youtube stuff, it's amazing, can't stop watching it lol. I love older Bosch appliances, I have afew washers and they are great, built like tanks and and do great rinses. Anywho here's some pics you might like, their not brilliant but hope you enjoy them. This pic is before I'd put the kick plate and knob covers back on.

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Hey Rich, thanks for sharing your pictures mate Indeed they were well built and proper solid weren’t they. No its brilliant enough for me, and your machine has the door and I’m guessing they are rare to find. </span>

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Cheers, glad your enjoying “The Laundry Lab” YouTube Page, slowly building it up the collection. </span>

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Any ways, I’m sure you’ll find those pictures sooner or later, but don’t worry to much about it. The pictures you’ve shared have made my Day!! </span>
