i got a new washer again (ONIX)

[hooverzodiac12]

its from kmart so its plasticy as hell. but i found it works really really well. the only thing wrong is its spin is 4mins 500 rpm 4 mins 700 rpm and 30 secs 1100 rpm. so ive noticed a hell of a diference in spinning haha the one i was using b4 this spun at 1400 rpm for 6 mins.

ill do vids but only if peopl want them cos i never get much replys from you guys.

take it easy

Nice washer Josh! I'm sure they are plenty of people who will be interested in your new score!

Have a good one, Jed.

 

[seamusuk]

Interesting..

Hey Josh

I cant help noticing your other machine- looks kinda familar

Seamus

P.S Excuse the Mr Strong- it came free with Persil Tabs

 

[arrrooohhh]

Should be fun to play with but if it goes bang - forget getting it fixed.

The Conia machine that Kmart was selling for a while was quite nice - my friend bought one and it was good fun to watch washing, and looked nice with chrome trim around the lid, but it was cheap and didn't last 2 years.

Have fun but remember that nothing beats a Hoover Zodiac 12 for frontloading fun!

you know i love videos :-D
so they would be appreciated
my friend had one of these, lasted approx four weeks before he came home to a flooded laundry, replaced it with a Simpson/Electrolux front loader lol

These are on special at Kmart in Geelong today for $350 or thereabouts, I thought that was pretty cheap but then I also stopped at "Blitzem Traders" a little factory seconds outlet at Braeside, they were $249 each and they had dozens and dozens of them.

Can you tell me, what does the ECO cycle do? I have read the instructions in the shop but it wasn't clear.

Chris.

Way nice looking machine!

When i first saw the dial and stuff in the first pic, i thought it was a Siemens! How silly of me!

I look forward to vids and stuff!!

How are you - aint spoken to you in ages!

Onix

Hi Josh, nice looking looking machine, seems to have all the right programmes and a splash of dial colour!!! is this a Haier made machine?? and where are they made?? looking forward to the vids!!!

Enjoy Mike

Looks like a balay/bosch machine to me! That dispenser and those LEDS are a give away, the layout of the buttons looks like the comet exlusive bosch models!

[chestermikeuk]

Hhmm

is this old stock then darren do you reckon?? the new balay have the centre dials and I notice an absence of holes in the drum back which made me think....enquiring minds...cheers, Mike

 

[liberator1509]

Haier or Bosch

I'm with Mike on the Haier suggestion (especially the dispener), though I did think the Haier's I've seen look rather like Bosch clones anyway - I wonder if they are licensed productions?

 

[hooverzodiac12]

thanks Jed and thanks heaps for your feedback guys=] haha Gizmo i have no idea about the ECO programme ive only used heavy duty and quick wash but we will just have to find out. but yeah it was in kmart for $399 and it got discontinued b4 i could pay it off. so wasn't too happy about that.

haha yeah SeamusUK my mum has the same kind of machine to you

yeah hoover zodiac's r good but i still think my old whirlpool aqualine was the best for some fun especialy when the concret came out and i pulled of 1 of 4 springs =P

im trying for videos but my phone microphone is brokiee and who wants a video without sound and my mums cam takes up heaps of space but ill try. i might have to email it all to you individually no probs.

nah ive had no problems wiyth it yet. the tumble start up is instant with tells me its strong and when it has a suds lock it doesnt stop and it doesnt slow down a bit so i take it the motor is really strong im so happy. i found my new bf (a keeper) not only that but he always creates like 2 or 3 loads a day so im pretty happy with that

anyway thats it for now

take it easy and thanks again

Could it be a Beko in disguise?

I've seen Beko (from Turkey) machines, on sale in the UK, and they too looked very like Bosch machines.

Is the door indentation tear-drop shaped, albeit lying side on?

 

[gizmo]

They are definitely Chinese.

Super Soft Program?

What does the "SUPER SOFT" cycle do?

 

[hooverzodiac12]

i havent used it yet. but i dont think its anything fancy. i know the machine has two wash speeds cos as it fills it rolls the clothes and its slow as but when its filled it keeps rolling but then you here a loud click and its a really fast wash.

say normal tumbing is 1 and hoover distribute is 10. the ONIX is 6 so its pretty fast. every third tumble the clothes sometimes dont drop but it washes beautiful.

id imagine the super soft cycle is slow all the way and doesnt spin until the end
