Todays picture....Whirlpool washer with Dame Edna

[ronhic]

Well I knew that I had seen a TV add as a kid with Dame Edna and the Whirlpool washers....

This, as a guess, is the TOL version or may have been the following years....

...and another

This time with a smaller one...same approximate vintage

 

[ronhic]

....and

the fridge to match the washers

 

[ronhic]

...and Kennys stove

'Because all he needs is someone that cooks like his mum'

 

[ronhic]

....and here are her's

I just love the late 1970's early 1980's decor....

 

[ronhic]

...and last of all

Kenny's fridge...

...and I think that frock is just stunning...!

ummm

Is that a tumble dryer mounted on the wall, if it is is it upside down?

 

[ronhic]

...yep

Correct...

...and so is mine currently.

All Australian made Westinghouse, Simpson and Electrolux (and 'normal' F&P) dryers are made to be able to be wall mounted.

My Hoover dryer that matched the Electra was originally wall mounted, but could also be stacked on the machine with a frame from Hoover (they were slightly smaller dimensionally). I believe that the Haier sensor dryer that we can now buy here is a clone of my old Hoover....it is dimensionally identical and even has the 'flip over' drying rack...how I miss that!

The Westinghouse dryer that I have now is mounted upside down on the wall above my front load washer. It makes sense. Rather than take up floor space or ruin a work surface, wall mount...mind, they are only vented models and are quite lightly built compared to a Bosch or AEG but are slightly lighter (I think) than an Indesit vented dryer.

Having said that, I dry 4 loads a week, sometimes more and the Hoover lasted 13yrs and, yet again, a friend has it who fixed...

more...

you usually get supplied with an additional fascia graphic so that the controls read correctly....

I just dig that music! And boy, what you can get away with on commercial Aussie TV??!!!

The decor does it

I reckon that the decor just about does it for me.

My cousins kitchen was very much like that but slightly lighter in colour...

I can't imagine what it would have been like to wake up with a hang over and have to walk into that kitchen to grab something to take....
