aussie hoovers..

hey arrrooohhh,

those two machines you posted, the hoover cadet and zodiac - i had both of these machines when i lived out there, there are loads of them!! cant seem to find them anywhere else in the world!

i got my zodiac from some dodgy second hand shop in maroubra junction, the thing kept breaking down, but when it worked it was good fun!!
 
You wont find them anywhere else...

Zodiacs and later front load models were based originally on the late 1970's UK machines, but 'simplfied'. No detergent drawers for example until the Electra series came out with the 530/535 in about 1990. They were all made here with some imported parts from the UK...such as door seals...and have proven to be very very reliable...

...and I often wonder if this is because they don't spin any harder than 800rpm (and this was in the later models), were expensive in comparison to top load machines and of smaller capacity (4kg-10lb) so they tended to be bought by couples rather than families.
 
I have never seen a Maytag Twin-Tub! When was it made?

Hi Zachary (Hooverkeymatic),

I'm not exactly sure what years they were produced, but for some reason I'm thinking they were built from 1970 thru 1978, but I could be wrong. I actually have two of these Maytag A50's, one is a 1973 and the other is a 1978 (pictured).
 
Here is the latest one. It is in testing mode, so far so good...I love it.
I have two modern daily drivers.
1.ASKO W660
2.BOSCH NEEXT PREMIUM
I will post, talk about these machines, and my other washers later in a thread.

Archie paddles. I think there are highest lifting clothes baffles in the industry at this time.( That I ever seen ) For a residential front loading washer in the USA.
