So this is what happened to Easy?

[Designgeek]

No duty on the first $400 of goods, and 10% thereafter. As for UL etc., that may be so, but we don't know they are or aren't approved; and in any case, "personal use" might be an exemption.

Now the question is, what's the status of someone who goes across the border, buys a small truckload of them for people on this website who have pre-paid, and tries to get back in? My guess is that you'd have to show that these were being bought cooperatively for personal use (letters signed in ink from the other buyers) and weren't being sold commercially, and you'd pay the 10% duty (which is cheaper than making multiple trips).

Someone should contact US Customs and/or the border crossing station in San Diego to find out more.

And surely there's gotta be someone on this board whose Spanish skills are tolerable enough to do email with Easy and then conduct a transaction with one of their dealers close to the border (i.e. including pre-ordering the machines and pre-paying if needed).

Crazy busy at work
Many thanks to all the people busy with Easies
Kept up with readin' but couldn't do no writin'

I was amazed that after thiry years the Spindrier is almost identical. They only changed the arrangement of the controls; where before the levers were at ten o'clock(wash), 2 o'clock (spin) 4 spindrain 8(washdrain); now there all lined up in a row. Amazing. I could figure out from the spanish that the twenty minute timer has an automatic shut-off, a new development in Easy dramatics.

OF COURSE, I'D LOVE A NEW ONE and am interested in road trips, group purchases--whatever.

Want to hear something cool? A nice little old man, Buffalo king washer repairman, worked till he was ninety (assisted by his grandson in the last years) once told me that the patents for the Easy Spins were sold to Mexico. I always thought that the old dude was smokin' some Acapulco Gold. And then I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that you geniuses had found the much beloved and long feared dead 'AGITADOR CURVO.' Halleluia! Since it's Sunday, maybe even a tiny praisethelord! is called for. Unfreakingbelievable. Thank you, gentlemen, esp. zzzzzzzzzzz.

sorry guys for the inconvience

but I can't seem to find my link myself when I signed up I had orginally signed up as SingSongLee but changed to Norgeman. I wish I could find my bio or members sight where it list what washers you have used and what you have now in your collection if any.

 

[Designgeek]

Mickeyd, where'd you get the Spanish info about the controls? I couldn't find the manual in the manuals list on the site.

Okay, now there's two of us who want to get one of these imported. Any others?

Note, I wonder about having some Mexican appliance dealer ship them directly over here? Or having UPS or Fed Ex or whoever deal with it? Any ideas?

Click on zzzzzzz's link near the top o' the thread: something about 0 to 20 "minutos con para automatico'"(just like the automatic)right next to the pic of the easy; also if you click on "manuales de uso" (user manuals) you seem to get everything but the spindrier.

IF SOMEONE HAS BETTER LUCK FINDING THE SPINDRIER MANUAL, PLEASE POST OR E-MAIL ME.

If you go to the Discuss-o-Mat page with the three forums you see a link almost at the bottom of the page "View Our Member Profiles". Click on that link and you get on the page with all the profiles. Almost on top of that page you see "click here to edit your profile". There is your own information and also the option to choose a background.

Hope this helps,

Louis

All available manuals seem to be in this link. Please feel free to ask for the translation of any part (or all) of any manual. Spanish is my native language.

Thanks Thor

Check the fourth entry on this thread (ZZZZZ San Diego) 2/24/2006
Click on the link; that's the machine, the Classic Easy Spindrier.
The machine you so kindly downloaded is the extractor.
Maybe you'll be able to find the missing Easy.

Thanks again
