Hi all,
I'm looking for information on a specific washing machine that my mother had growing up. It was a Simpson Encore 7.5kg top loader; has the Esprit body but full electronic controls featuring a time remaining display instead of knobs.
I've never seen another one in the wild here in Australia, and I'd never seen one online up until about a month ago... I'd say a slight majority of them are located in New Zealand. All of the images of Encores I've seen are mostly 5.5kg variants and none feature time remaining displays; only lights a la Fisher & Paykel. I specifically remember my mother's machine having that feature though, in an identical body.
She bought the washing machine new in about 1998-99 through someone she knew who worked in the Simpson factory. I'm wondering if she somehow ended up with a machine destined for export?
I've uploaded some images of other Encores off Google for reference.
TIA
