That’s a nice looking suds saver.
Covers everything with lint
Rebadged Simpson from the "Delta" series.

Interesting specimen and appears to be in excellent condition, at least aesthetically. I typically associate Malleys with Whirlpool, which this is not.
Glenn,
This dates from the very early 80s. Malleys had lost the right to use the Whirlpool trademark and Malleys had been purchased by the Email group. Email was Australias equivalent of White Westinghouse.
The Simpson machines all had a Malleys equivalent for a couple of years, all that changed was the control panels and the plastics in the Malleys were olive green, vs beige in the Simpsons.
These had a maytag style cycle and operation
Cheers
Nathan

Not a Delta, this was a full size machine, the Simpson equivalent was probably a 144.
The Malleys versions were generally more a posh version, weren't they? More features?
That dashboard looks like a Whirlpool design, grafted onto a Simpson machine.
Obviously intended to sell to previous Whirlpool customers.
Delta were a similar design but much smaller - the Delta was a cheaply developed machine, it was basically a Minimatic with a plastic extension on the wash basket to make it taller. Despite those humble origins, they were a pretty good machine, and IMHO tended to work better than the Minimatic they were based on.
There was also a later Delta based on the new Simpson design, which was more or less a copy of the Japanese machines that were taking sales.

Were any top load washers down under still heating water by this time? Thank you very much.
Hi Tom,
I’m pretty sure Hoover had models up until the late 80s, so it likely was a rare special order option, in the same way suds savers were a special order.
By the late 80s it would’ve been rare for someone to not have a central hotwater system, so the need for self heat which took 2 hours plus had gone away.
Cheers
Nathan

Two speed?
Was this before or after the point where there were two wash actions ( normal and gentle ) but only one spin speed, just shorter for "delicates"? The early Delta's with the plastic extension to create more capacity had a two speed spin but later it was one speed.

Thank you, Nathan. I guess that the suds saver would have made even more sense if it took two hours to heat that tub of water.
Hoover TL with heater...
Must have taken ages to heat water.

This is some serious wash action!

Have never seen a WP like this before.
That's my Electronic Whirlpool
That just so happens to be one of my favourite machines in my collection. The Malleys Whirlpool 2299, made in Australia. Even Dame Edna Everidge advertised it!

It's the same membrane panel layout as WP first electronic control model in the U.S. but the rest of the controls are different. The U.S. model has two lever switches, for power on/off and variable water level selection. It's in the PotD rotation.

I own a Hoover 935 (the model with a built-in heater.) And it works great, if I want to do a 40 or 60° wash I fill it up with hot water set it to warm or hot and let it wash away in 40 or 60° water, although if I wanna do a warm rinse I have to remember after The machine starts agitating in the main Wash. I turn the heater off and turn the fill temp setting to Special woollens

Thank you all. One question: I do not know about Australian electrical service. Are the machines with heaters connected to 120 volts or 240 volts? Thanks
240 Volt
Hi Tom,
the heaters are connected to 240 Volts.
Cheers

Hi Tom,

Thanks. Two of my Mieles and the Creda are connected to 240, but on only 15 amp circuits, but one is on 240 but with a 30 amp circuit. With the relatively small amounts of water they use the heating goes relatively quickly. Is your washer on a 15 amp circuit? Does it agitate periodically during heating? Of course when I use them the power company sends a little chart with the bill showing just when during the day I used them so using liquid chlorine bleach in the Speed Queen front loader is cheaper.
