WASHING MACHINE Picture Thread, part 5

Might

not have to wait too long. There are more and more to choose from.

In a year or two the prices will continue to fall.

Unfortunately Miele is the only one running on 110
If you check the specs all of them are running on 220

I know another couple in NYC they got the Miele set due to the 110v

 

[bradfordwhite]

I'll have to research that. Like I said... just a couple of months for me.

I wonder why they would have them at 220. I mean the components of the machine must be a motor for the drum, a small compressor, and a small heater. I don't see why that couldn't run on 110.

You said yours in 1000 watts which sounds about right. It wouldn't take a very big heater to heat up a dryer drum that's not venting out any of the heat.

The Whirlpool model is considered a hybrid.  Has a 240v 1,300-watt heating element to supplement for speed mode.

Next door neighbors bought a matching Whirlpool front load stack set and both run on 110. Washer has a heater and only cold water hookup, dryer takes 2 hours to dry towels and fills a big container with water to be emptied. Cost was way too much. I'll keep my 1984 Maytags.

“ If it were me, I'd just have a Wallyflex in the laundry area.
Connects into ones central vacuum system. Makes quick work of lint.”

ESPECIALLY FOR THE BUTLER! Lol

Burl wood and chrome to match the dishwasher from the Super forum post.
excellent.

 

[repairguy]

Yes this was the set I was referring to. I have the matching electric dryer and if my memory serves me right I gave $50 for the set a couple of years ago. Had to put a belt on the washer.

 

[bradfordwhite]

Oh Wow, $50 for the set. What a deal.

A washer belt isn't too big a deal on this. ...if you know the correct bolts and spacer to remove. lol

Am I correct in seeing this has the Super Surgilator which means this was super capacity?

Is the bleach gravity or timed?

Does it have a wash basket ring filter or the trad. tub filter?

 

[repairguy]

Yes this is a super capacity machine with the double duty super surgilator. The lint filter is mounted under the wash basket and the bleach is gravity fed.

 

[DADoES]

 
Super Surgilator has the three lower fins extending a bit past the skirt.  It was on both standard and 18lb models.

Double-Duty Super Surgilator has three wings on the skirt, used only on 18lb models.

I like the folding door on this portable.

A friend had this washer in her condo.  Built in the 70s they put the laundry closet in the small bedroom.

You've certainly got the capacity here. Very nice and I like that wrap around shelf for extra storage.

What is going on with that extra door/shelf that is sticking out on the middle washer?

 

[appnut]

What is going on with that extra door/shelf that is sticking

that door provides the seamless, inegral look some consumers seek in their appliances. Athough there are probably other brands that offer(ed) models with this aesthetic design, it was quiite prevalent with Asko washers and some Miele models.

 

[foraloysius]

The machine in the middle with the drop down door is an AEG.

Machines with an extra door are out of fashion, but in the past there were plenty of them.

1. AEG washer/dryer combo (made by Lepper)

2. A Philips washing built-in washing machine in the kitchen of a vacation home.
