look what I found in Australia

[hooverzodiac12]

what is it?

 

[hooverzodiac12]

Newest to my family its a Kenwood mini 100, we named him kent

 

[ronhic]

OMG!!!!

Details please, details.......

 

I have never, ever seen one of these before and would have considered bodily harm to get my hands on a baby washing machine.....

 

That is probably one of the rarest modern washing machines in the country.......

It's a Eudora Euronova/Babynova. Looking at the spin speed, your model looks like one of the more recent ones that have drum suspension.

I've got a Bendix Super Compact (made by Eudora in the 80's) and I love it, it doesn’t have any suspension so its a bit wild when it's trying to balance the load!

Eudora

Wow, nice find there Josh, and the question is "Is It 1000rpm spin"?? all in a little box...

I first thought it was going to be an Asko...then saw the next pic, looks like its got a great combination of time temp & spin selections as well as memory programmes!!

I love those older swingy Eudoras...but expect this is steady with the faster spin...looking forward to more pics/ vids!!!

Looking on the website and talking of Asko....dont you just love those badged "Professional" machines!!! & real workhorses!!!

I love my Bendix - it's just a shame its spin speed is only 520 rpm and it needs new bearings too.

I've found a video of what seems to be a similar model:

Spin:

 

[hooverzodiac12]

haha well Chris, Dan and Mike

i found it on ebay au the day my boyfriend and i were talking about the no more washing machines rule, i simply and broke said thats mine and spent only $160 all up on it, it was ten minutes down the road from me, my favorite washer and i never thought id get my hands on it. cant tell me its not a sign hey?

he's called Kent, he's cute and pretty cool. it takes a long time to get through the cotton 30 cycle maybe 2 hours.

ive got a translator on my phone for the wash programes so hers the list

P1 cotton
P2 easy care
P3 wool
P4 spin ( two positions but they both seem to be identicle in time and speed)

the bottons are

pre wash/skip phase Delicate agitation

Rinse hold eco

the spin is at 1000rpm and it goes up a bit like bosch, a bit shaky and smoothes out and you can hardly hear it. the only way to add clothes WAS to turn the knob up and wait for it to drain then to the key and it opens, but ive just found the button for emergency door opening under the panel with kenwood on it so ill be using that from now on thanks to the boyf coming up with clothes after i hang them haha. im washing in it right now and im thinking i might buy and get one shipped over from germany or where ever i can get them brand new just incase they're discontinued, dont mind about the cost just as long as i have a back up. if you want any vids just tell me and ill see what i can do

thanks for the feed back guys i really appreciate it hope everyones well and happy
has anyone had experiance with these machines i need help with the eco button ill put up a few pics of why im confused haha

 

[hooverzodiac12]

yeah dan im pretty sure thats the same one i have just different name

 

[solsburian]

They are branded all sorts of names, I think they also went under some of the Antioni Merloni brands when they owned them too.

They look like fantastic machines and seem to be well regarded - I hope you enjoy yours!

We almost purchased this one, until we got our current nasty Hoover Washer Dryer:

[hooverzodiac12]

only problem i have is the eco button. the first press is "S"

 

[hooverzodiac12]

the second press i get an "L"

 

[hooverzodiac12]

and the thrird press i get the "L" and the pre wash and main was symbol together?
maybe "S" is eco for small loads,"L" is for eco large load and the last one is for large loads with pre wash? its the only thing that made sense to me what do you think?

heres some more pics

Manual

one link says a 3Kg machine.

What is this units width?

[gansky1]

That's adorable! Were these typically more expensive since they are more rare, like most compact & portable machines were/are in the U.S.?

 

[ronhic]

They were never sold in Australia to the best of my knowledge.....and I believe they are VERY expensive new given their size/capacity....

 

From reading the instruction manual, it appears that the rinses are programmable both in number and possibly water level...

 

Josh, don't forget to use about a 1/3 the quantity of detergent in this baby or it'll never rinse properly....

 

3Belt, they are about 45cm wide - so take about 2/3 or 3/4 the space of a traditional (for us) machine.....yet are very fully featured. 

 

[ronhic]

Ok...

 

S = Economy (think lower temperature + longer time)

L= Intensive

 

So I guess that the L+Prewash is intensive + prewash which probably means longer time at stated temperature + prewash....

 

[3beltwesty]

RE "3Belt, they are about 45cm wide"

thus 45/2.54= 17.7 inches; say 18 inches!



That is just a tad wider than the 5 buck Haier HLP21N I bought off of ebay with a 1.9 cuft drum

 

[hooverzodiac12]

haha yeah chris i know i use about half the amount of tide HE in him and he goes fine does anyone know where to find the ENGLISH manual?

 

[ronhic]

Tide!!!

 

Mmmmm....I'd be using something known to be very low sudsing....Omomatic/Drivematic etc....With Omomatic, you could get away with about 1/6th of a scoop according to Choice (at 1/4 dose in a standard sized machine it became the 3rd best powder in their last test...at half dose, it was still the best!)

 

[appnut]

Very cute.  Congratulations!!!

 

[hooverzodiac12]

Its tide for front loaders. I havent got aussie washing powder i have tide,gain and cheer for front loaders and 10 2.5lt bottles of top loader purex. Ive got my eye on that new green omo front load stuff i think its alpine fresh or something

 

[ronhic]

What new green omo stuff?
