Orphans looking for a new home...

Guy, I'll have to snap some more for you this weekend. I'll get you some close-ups of the tub, wringer, cord and drain hose. I may get brave enough to plug it in, too...

IIRC, this is a Canadian-made one - from the plant that used to be in Burlington, ON.

US laundry products

I'm surprised that stuff like Tide isn't easy to find in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. I went to Ecuador a few years ago, and most US consumer products were easily available. Many were expensive, but available.

One fun thing to do in any foreign country is to go to a grocery store to see what familiar items are or aren't there.

Thor, that looks like Tide. I suppose that it could still be a little different, though. I believe Thomas could be wanting those detergents for display items as much as for use.

Yes, we have many of the products here in brazil and in argentina too

But for example Tide is Ace here but the formula is completelly different. (Starting by the blue powder)

Borax and washing soda can't be found.

There's a small store in paraguay that sells american products, but only foods and beverages. Smuckers syrups, Gatorade powder (that can make a few buckets) and a range of Lee iacocca's olive oil products. BUT THEY DON'T HAVE CLEANING OR LAUNDRY PRODUCTS

Thank God I have a great friend that sends by mail or bring by himself the american products.

Among the products are the two products I've never seen before and now I love, Borax and Washing soda.

Also, there are many brazilian products that can't be found in the US, like the soda "Guarana Antarctica" (maybe you can find in specialized stores).

Now in Brazil we have the Ace Liquid, which is exactly like the American regular Tide (not the concentrated version), but it smells like Ace, not like Tide.

If it doesnt get shipped to brazil, I would be interested in the Simplicty wringer if not too expensive to ship to PA

 

[dblrinz]

I love it too! But am not going to push my luck!

After reading the quotation sent by a brazilliann moving company ("only" 50 thousand american dollars to bring this machine to brazil), i decided to give up, unfortunatelly.
Of course i would never pay all that money for a freight. Probably this machine will be yours.

Please contact Paul.
