And This Piece Of Utter Crap! - Hoover Vision 9kg sensor Condenser Dryer.
As you can probably tell the condenser unit is not there and im using it as a normal vented dryer. This is because the sump / pump has a lint blockage and it can't pump the water up to the tank. This means the machine thinks the tank is full and so stops. For some reason it is happy when I take the condenser out and run it as a vented dryer.To get to the sump /pump I will need to take out the drum which is not going to be an easy task so at the moment and probably for the forseable future it can stay as it is.
I have had no end of problems with this machine since I got it. What a piece of rubbish.

I have three daily drivers, the ones that I use are the Alliance coin-op and the Miele W1215, everyone else uses the Fisher Paykel when they need to do laundry!

My Miele's in Maine
This has been my primary set for the last 22.5 years
I bought these machines brand new at age 21 while I was in college. As soon as I got a place with a connection, I went out and bought these. At the time I didn't know a lot of things, one that this was among the very last belt-drive washers made (mid August, 1986). The other is had I looked at used machines, I probably could have found some neat and plentiful 1960s gems. Delivery day was much more exciting to me than when Mom got her washers, as this one was MINE.
The washer has had a recent vacation due in part to a centerpost seal failing, which I haven't been motivated to fix, mostly because I have been using the machines that I restored this past year.
This machine is not as 'vintage' as a '72 Lady K, a '63 Kenmore 70, or even my '61 Kenmore 70, but it is my pride and joy since I was able at such a young age to buy something new of my very own.
I am a sentimental type guy, and it feels weird posting these here for everyone to see, but hopefully you can tell that I have appreciated them. I hope to have and be using these machines 22.5 years from now!

May I show you mine?
The sink is to the right of the portable DW (Wood-look over black).
Thw washer uses a quick-connect "portability" fill and rinse coupler with hoses, that I added later.
The dryyer came to me via Connecticut. (The next state). It's a 90's hotpoint electric MOL unit with a procelain drum. New belt. Uses 110v in that my apt does not have 220v available. Uses a "standard" 4 prong/conductor (flex) cord. Made a custom extension cord such that a 110v heavy-duty plug (male) feeds a heavy-duty air-condtioner extension cord. Added a standard 4 hole (female) outlet/socket, in place of the female that was there. By manipulating the conductos itn eh outlet(female) of the extnesioncord, the heating element is fed 110v insted of 220v. (This quarters the heating wattage from 5,000w to circa 1,250w +/-*). Slow, but it works!

Here is another shot showing the washer's hoses and quick-connect coupler.

When addtinal room humidity is desirable, most of my drying occurs on this drying rack.
But I find a 20 minute heated tumble in the dryer afterwards does wonders for removing creases and wrinkles and really helps get items bone-dry!

This photo has run several times around here, but it features something not many of you have: THE MOST HATED WASHER AT AW.ORG: A top-loading Frigidaire with a Franklin tub-indexing transmission!
Glad to see a few other Frigidaire FLer's out there. Not a bad machine at all, and the price is certainly right.

Funny you should mention Staber
I was watching How It's Made yesterday, and they were showing how the Staber washing machine was made.

I find these to be excellent machines...do a great job and have had no problems. I've had them about four years. They replaced a Frigmore front load set that I gave to my son. That ten year old washer has never had a repair and is still going strong.

Thanks Rich, my set was used when I got them. I have been really please with them so far. I think the washer cleans well, and I've never had any problems with mold or odors.
My humble 1977 Maytag pair, an A208 and a DG408.
