Goods from Greece!

The Küppersbusch T602 (Reply# 27) looks interesting. Totally different from the one in Reply# 28. The one in # 28 looks more like a Pitsos.

BTW, Constructa is just a label, not a company. The Constructa label is owned by Bosch-Siemens Hausgeräte.

@foraloysius i know about Constructa!Pitsos wasnt just a label!Pitsos was a greek manufactorer but now belongs to Bosch-Siemens.Now iam thinking if i should replace my 16years old Bosch with a Pitsos.

Kuppersbusch here is famous for kitchen appliances.Ovens are perfect!
The Kuppersbusch T602 its interesting and i think its made by Antonio Merloni.

The kuppesbusch #28 its a Candy made as Pitsos#23!

 

[foraloysius]

Do you have a Bosch toploader? The new Pitsos toploader is an Indesit design, just like other modern BSH toploaders.

Küppersbusch used to be a very reliable brand, IIRC they used AEG appliances in the past. The dishwashers they nowadays sell look like BSH dishwashers, but I'm not sure. Küppersbusch is not sold in the Netherlands.

Καλησπερα πατριωτη!Εισαι συλλεκτης παλιων πλυντηριων ή εχεις καποια αποθηκη? Που βρηκες τοσα παλια πλυντηρια?

I am also greek and I used to have a bosch WOH-1000 top-loader from early '90s which worked perfectly until 2013, when I replaced it with a Candy front-loader.Τhis is a photo from 2009:

 

[foraloysius]

I have never used a WOH-1000 or similar model. Did it spin between the rinses?

 

[grwasher_expert]

Yeah,It spun between the rinses when using programs A,B,C,D which were meant for cottons(Koch/Buntwäsche).Final spin (F) was at 1000 rpm.The rest washing programmes( weren't spinning between rinses.They only had a final spin and they also had a rinse and hold option(Spülstop).Programs G,H,J,K for synthetics(Pflegeleicht) had their final spin on program L at 800 rpm, and program N for woolens (Wolle) had its final spin on program S at 600 rpm.

 

[foraloysius]

Thanks! That was better than the previous series. Those didn't spin between the rinses in the cottons programme, the reason why a lot of people complained about their rinsing ability.

Found another picture from 2008

Πατριώτη δεν είμαι συλλέκτης!Δυστυχώς δεν έχω αρκετό χώρο για κάτι τέτοιο!Είναι από αγγελίες στο ίντερνετ!Θα ήθελα να ποστάρεις φωτογραφίες από το Candy!Με ενδιαφέρουν τα μοντέλα των τελευταίων χρόνων!Είσαι ευχαριστημένος?

@foraloysius
I love those dials with the little windows too!!

"I like Pisto's

and Pastitsio.

 

[neocho50]

@vacerator
Pitsos no Pistos!!

Another Pitsos washer!This machine was the most popular washing machine for early 90s!!Chip,perfect wash results and it is really hard to die!!

 

[neocho50]

Brandt washer made by San Giorgio!Looks great!

 

[neocho50]

Thomson!

 

[foraloysius]

That's a lovely Thomson!

 

[neocho50]

@foraloysius
Ilove it too!!I found interesting the fact that it has only one knob and nothing else!!You just choose the program and then the wash starting!!

 

[foraloysius]

Yes, it's the most basic Thomson I have ever seen. Here's a scan of a page of a brochure from the 1980's IIRC. These must be a bit older than the machine in your picture, but you can see the familiarity.

 

[lorainfurniture]

Reading that Greek

Made me realize how much of the language I have forgotten.

Χρόνια πολλά!

 

[neocho50]

@lorainfurniture Χρόνια πολλά και καλή χρονιά!!
@foraloysius Do you have old brochures from other brands?

 

[foraloysius]

Neo,

Yes, I have some older brochures from other brands. Recently I started posting older newspaper ads.

This is the first thread. At the moment I'm occupied by a move, but I will get back to it later.

Μερικές εικόνες από το Candy μου(μοντέλο 2013).Σε γενικές γραμμές είμαι ευχαριστημένος.Τα μόνα σημεία που με χαλάνε είναι η υπερβολικά μεγάλη διάρκεια κάποιων προγραμμάτων(πάνω από 3 ώρες) και η μη δυνατότητα ρύθμισης θερμοκρασίας ανεξάρτητα από το πρόγραμμα

 

[neocho50]

@grwasher_expert Ωραιο φαινεται το Candy σου!!Συνεχιζεις να το εχεις?

 

[neocho50]

Morris washer-dryer

 

[neocho50]

Kelvinator!!!

 

[neocho50]

Sharpf!!

 

[neocho50]

Hoover Keymatic!!So lovely!!

 

[foraloysius]

Thanks for posting. The Keymatic looks great. But the name Scharpf on an Antonio Merloni machine, what a desecration! ;-)

 

[neocho50]

@foraloysius i agree with you!
