Candy - early 70ies drums ?!?

Found another old thread about Candy (the real Hoover killer)

We had a SA5, probably the strongest machine they did

Then we had a C134. Such POS machine had No BAFFLES at all.
When half loaded (i e curtains or minimum iron) the load did't tumble but literally floated. The upper part of the load came out still dry... Why did they remove baffles from drums??

Whent this nightmare broke (bearings...) we bought the 16WD combo. This has gone back with baffles. Yet stuff boilwashed in it, if rewashed in the miele 60°C ecoboilwash came out much cleaner

Today in their manuals Candy warn people not to wash full loads made of towels .... Mieles have not only towel programs, but pillows program too ... is it a bearings affair ?!? ;-)

Buffles...

Mio caro Carlo... se solo tu sapessi...

RISPARMIO!!
This is the SAVING italian corresponding, the word which lead maufacturers to have started with 4, has arrived and using 3 but where 1 is still a "cost" in a machine project... no baffles is the way to wash!!

WHAT A SHAME!!!

Cheers for the info Tom.

Am so glad that that W/D wasn't on UK ebay - would have been very frustrating.

It does/did look a wonderful machine.

Z999TX

Interesting thread! I found an old brochure with information about the Z999TX. Here's the page in the brochure.

The real TOL machine in 1982 was the Z2001IS. Here's a picture of it.

Three twins

Notice as the Z 999 TX has a 3KW heater vs the usual 2KW one on her twins REX 899 TX and Zoppas P 498 TX. This happened as Rex, Castor(r.i.p) and Zoppas are specific brands for our internal market. Here houses have usually a 3 KW feed. So a 2,2KW WM or DW allows other small appliances running without exceeding the max load

Another small difference: Rex and Zoppas have bleach dispenser, Z 999 has not.....at those times the tipical italian housewife was still bleach-addicted ;-))

Zanussi badged appliances are not very common in Italy. They were (are ?) sold in Expert stores only.

wood ranges ?!?

Same brochure of the R 2001 IS, on the page next to microwave ovens, there are wood ranges.
Nowadays wood ranges are still common in north eastern Italy.
Ultimate ones are fully integrated in the kitchen just as the likes of a fridge or a dishwasher

AEG 802 TS

Just seeing this thread re-opened I noticed the AEG 802 TS in the brochure above. I just did a quick video of this a few days ago.
