While visiting the "Uitmarkt" festival (yes another festival, August is a busy month) I discovered this Smeg shop. Now look to the right side of the shop window...

And the back...

At first I doubted that this was for sale but after consulting the Smeg website it appeared that this washer is fully functional and listed for sale. Also available in pink! Now what would you do with a sink on top of a washer?

Thinking about the IKEA/Scandinavia market....

I could imagine popular in some of the "Minimmalist" markets around the world.
Would not be my cup of tea.... I prefer separate washer, dryer, dishwasher. etc

Peter, I also favor separate appliances for every different household chore, but maybe I would welcome such a convenient combined appliance if I lived in a 30 sq. m (300 sq. ft) or even smaller apartment. I guess this appliance is aimed at the ultra small home market.

Smeg is italian...but

I've never have seen something invented here...apart from the good desing...

And we complain that chinese have been copying us for years?! So they got copy of the copy...

Last entry is the Rex-Electrolux TIME MANAGER...

But haven't MAYTAG (like any other traditional TL maufacturers) managed the cycle with the time...

Pushbuttons set the speed and the temperature..
Knobs set the time dependingo on soil level...

Isn't it? Or I mistake..?

Smeg is Italian... the Italian Miele.
You can have all the opinions you wish, but the quality is just great. Paired with the best of the Italian style. :D
They also sell with the name White Whestinghouse in Italy, don't know about other countries.
The machines are very reliables and high performance. My favourite brand. Mom has a all Smeg kitchen and it's since 1979, 28 years of reliability. The only thing that didn't make it is the fridge that was changed 10 years ago after the house move, it got damaged in the transport, how sad.
 
Well, Smeg certainly has a colourful assortment of refrigerators. However, from looking into the shop I got the impression that washing machines are not their main line of products. The dominant appliances in the shop were professional looking stainless steel cookers and ovens. They also had ovens on wheels. Another thing that I hadn't seen before. The washers were placed in the "back alley" of the shop.

I noticed that the washer with the sink attracted a lot of attention from passersby and I was certainly not the only one taking pictures. Still, I have my doubts about the practicality of the sink on the washer. It is rather small, only for washing your hands I would say. Maybe it is designed to clean the cap of the fabric softener bottle after use :)

Can´t imagine that they´re solid-built machines..

Never would like to have such a fridge-washer, waht a fake..haha.

Even had seen them on Tv, i think they wash worse than worse:(
 
Diomede, yes I had seen that sink before I knew of the Smeg washer. With the GE sink I had my doubts too about the practicality, although it seems a lot bigger and of a better construction. I am not surprised that that GE washer is rare. So when I saw this Smeg washer I could't help wondering what was in the mind of the designers.
 
Robert, that can't be very difficult. The kneading paddle is already there. You only need to install a suitable heater in the cabinet, do some programming to get the baking time right and there you have your giant bread maker. First get rid of the dog hairs of course, but I believe that you have solved that problem already :)
