Hello guys! Firstly, sorry for my english: I'm French. Il love your website and I have a look every day for one year... Many thanks for it. I decided to create a website about the history of washing machines, automatic or not. I have about 50 machines, French, English, German and Italian. I'm waiting for the".com" link, but if you're already interested in this website, you can consult, for the moment, www.lamachinealaver.ptibook.com Enjoye!

Hello Didier and welcome to the club, what a fantastic range of machines you have, I love the Vedette, all those chunky controls with the dispenser on the top, and see through action...and the Philips, is that the "Jets of Water" action?? two plumes of water are spurted under pressure to roll the clothes around??
That Bendix is so cute?? is that the powder dispenser as well as the temp gauge?? Oh questions questions, had better leave them for others to write?? thanks for showing, Mike

Hi Didier.
Welcome to the club - believe me, it is a lot of fun and a real nostalgia trip with a load of great people.
I have just been over to your website - looks great!
Very proffessional and your collection is superb.
From clicking on your collection pictures I jumped at the site of your Hoover de luxe 128 toploader. I have never seen an actual photograph of one of these before - in the UK these were known as model A1004 and were known as the 'Spacemaker'. Great to know that there is a vintage Spacemaker which has been saved (and it has 'Matchbox' knobs).
You mention '3239' in your information - is this the model number on your machine?
Also glad to see that you have a Miele 429 - wonderful looking machine you have there and in such great condition. positively gleaming.
Once again congratulations on a fantastic collection of machines and welcome to the club.
Cheers
Paul
p.s i noticed in your WANTED Section that you were after a Hoover 3243H 'Matchbox' Keymatic. Unfortunately I dont own a Matchbox (if only I did), but I did buy an advert for it recently. Enjoy!

My name is Bertrand (Bert for the English!)
You are perfectly right for the philips: two jets of water with a good pressure. It will vork soon.
On the dispenser of the bendix,there is a temperature jauge to stop the heater when you have the temp that you want.
Please note I've juste have the new link:

Hoover Keymatic
Good morning Bertrand, the link is working fine, am loving the Mors 1949 washer video, wow, stand well back when it starts to spin, and the wash looks a great agitation...
Did you get the Thor Parnall that was for sale in France recently??
Here is the Parkinson Cowan "Live Water Action" washer, this is like your Philips etc, it boils by gas as well, looks very similar to the Hoover single tub,
Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike!
thanks for the Parkinson. Your're right: it's very similar than the Philips. I'll try to send advertisment whith the same argument 'no moving parts in the tub'.
For the THOR, I tried about three months ago to buy it, but the seller did never contact me ... What a pity!

Hey Bertrand, first of all a big welcome to aw.org, I'm so glad you found us. I just looked at your website, it looks just great. I'm totally impressed with your collection, it is super cool. I love the French Frigidaires! Who knew, I had no idea the Frigidaire name and logo was used in France as well. My favorites have to be the Frigidaires, Vedettes and the early top loading Les Autres, I think we saw that machine on eBay about a year ago, glad you were able to save it.
Beautiful website and collection of machines - thanks for sharing them with us and welcome to AW.org!
Jon in France
Jon,
If you visit France again, tell me and come and see me and my friend. Dijon is in Burgundy. I'll be happy to show my collection. I don't know French people who collect washing machines. I'll see with my site... May be see you!

Bienvenue Bertrand
A warm welcome from the Netherlands. I've looked at your site and was pleasantly surprised. You have such a great collection. I always had a weak spot for French toploaders, especially for the toploaders with glass lids.
You have a great collection and there are so many machines I haven't seen before, including the AEG Novamat. The Vedette machines are wonderful too, just my cup of tea! And the pictures of the Brandt Statomatic 47 Super are to die for!! I'm sure I will be coming back to your website very often to enjoy aal those pictures. My French is not so good, but I'm sure that I will understand your Historique as well.
Great you're here!

Welcome Bertrand! Your collection is amazing. Maybe you can visit during one of our annual "Wash-Ins" to meet some of our members and play with our appliances.
Best wishes,

Je suiss sans mots...
Really I'm speechless looking at your collections! Bienvenue mon amis Bertarnd!
I'm a really strong TLHA lover...just like your Vedette!! The only (after the only american TLHA known as Launderall) TLHA (Top Loading Horizontal Axis)...WITH WINDOWED LID!!!
Neither in my Ignis I can see the drum rotating...I'm wondering whether you have done yet some videos...
In Spain they're known as Otsein...well, this is the one I saw on Youtube...
Tres heureux! A bien tot...
A revoir

PS: may I ask you to describe the drum opening system? American folks are not in habits with this but really neither I could undesrtand if the drum (speaking of all machines you "par le dessus" you own) has got the lid with hinges or the lid can be taken off!
PPS: have you bought EVERY WM you saw on ebay!?
