The best and worst looking machines

[adamthemieleman]

As per the title, let's have a picture thread of the world's nicest and ugliest looking machines.

I'll start us off with a few. I think the best looking machine is the Miele W1

 

[adamthemieleman]

Another handsome looking machine, by Vestel of all people!

 

[adamthemieleman]

Time for some ugly ones. Not sure who's this is, think it's Vestel again

I still have a soft spot for the V-Zug Unimatic T. A pity V-Zug stopped making this machine.

Pictures from ricardo.ch

Good looking Unimatic

Hi foraloysius

This is indeed a good loking machine and how clean it looks
Funny that you found that picture of this machine in the internet. It was my machine, I sold it on ricardo.ch. It doesn't look only good, but it's also made of very good materials.

Another good looking machine is the V-Zug Adora Line, the previous line with metal door. This picture shows another machine I sold.

 

[foraloysius]

That's funny indeed! I visited the Zugorama once, fell in love with V-Zug, especially the Unimatic T. Your Fust Novamatic looks good too, but I prefer the Unimatic T you sold.

Previous Miele Line

I don't know if I'm the only one, but somehow I really dislike the new Miele W1 Chrome-Edition. If I had to buy a Miele then I would prefere the W1 Whitline, it looks much better but never that good like the Miele Supertronic.
The Supertronic is very sleek, it looks brilliant.

Worst looking

Galaxy from Sears. Next in line would be GE top loads post 1996.

I want a washer that looks LIKE a WASHER-NOT some sort of lab instrument!

The V-Zug

Unimatic looks like a well made appliance. I see why it is no longer in production.

 

[foraloysius]

The V-Zug Unimatic was made for laundryrooms in apartment buildings. It runs on 400 Volts, so a boil wash is done in no time.

 

[schulthess]

Quick

Yes that's true! Thanks to two large built in heating elements it's quite fast. A 95 degrees celsius - Boilwash takes 1h and 15 minutes, including a proper 40 minutes wash, 3 rinse cycles with intermediate spin cycles. Another good thing is that it imediatly ramps up in spins, there is no balancing trash. And of couse it's very silent.
They stopped building these Unimatic toploaders because energy-label restrictions. It wasn't possible anymore to build such a machine that could meet the strict energy label requirements. And of course, new appartments in Switzerland would usually have their own washing machine. So there is a decrease in demand. The new Unimatic line is based on the Adora Line. Actually it's the same machine, just in a bigger cabinet, with some better components and a more clear user interface.

I haven't seen that black Vestel machine before. Looks great with the colour display
Where did you get the picture?

 

[miele4life]

well although I'm a Miele Man, I thought I'd post a couple of them from the Indesit Company, starting with the decade-old but still lovely looking Aqualtis

 

[miele4life]

and from the same people, this hideous looking integrated model with a "toilet seat" door.

 

[mark_wpduet]

I always thought the Whirlpool Duet Sport's

from around 2007 (ish) kind of looked like a toilet! Not attractive -but I hear they were decent machines though.
