Hi Guys

Saw this guy on Ebay tonite as i was flipping through. This had a matching washer which i will post a pic of next. Mainly sold in Asia, Australia and New Zealand i never knew a matching dryer existed.
Would look good side by side.

Heres a pic and link to the Ebay ad, i'm sure some of the Aussies will find this cool :-D

Happy New Year.

Heres a small pic of the matching washer. I understand they were good. I had friends who had this machine.

I myself had the version that came before with the timer dial instead of microprocessor controls. Great machine (see video link below) but liked to tangle a LOT.

Very reliable....and these are at least 20-25yrs old...

But how neat to have a Japanese interpretation of an American 'matched set'

Great looking units Matt, my late dad and his partner Beryl, had the smaller version of your Hitachi top loader about 4kg load I think and it worked like a trojan for 18 years and only needed to be services once,for a blocked pump I believe.
Hitachi had a few models which actually had a full size agitator as opposed to pulsators which is the norm for Asian manufacturers although the later models were pulsator machines as I recall.
Cheers.
