Thank you for sharing, but that toploader is just an LG.

Very interesting machines!
I do have to reiterate the points made by others though, the older front loaders definately appear to be Sangiorgio (which used the same internal parts as UK Hotpoints, I believe) and the newer ones are definately arcelik (Beko) rebadged. The top loaders do look an awful lot like LG machines.
Love the styling of the older front loaders though! Very interesting to see what's on offer in other countries.

Well that's easy these days....
Just like Defy is a South African brand, Simpson is here. Shame of it is though, Simpson is now owned by Electrolux and the vast majority of our appliance manufacturing is done off-shore with the exception of ovens and refrigeration....
...and I would suggest that Defy is in a similar boat - a old South African brand with a long tradition that has been forced to source many/all their products off-shore in order to remain viable...

the machine shown in that picture is quite obviously a re-badged Beko.

toploaders just an LG
these Defy 13 kg top loaders cant be compared to LG 13 kg toploaders. the Defy is WAY more reliable and can handle slightly bigger loads. the styling is also nowhere near LG as well as the programmes. these are the 2 LG top loaders available in south africa. this is the newest. this machine is to die for. not just styling wise

This is a picture of the 13kg LG Turbodrum T1303TEFT1. I don't see any difference between that Defy machine and the LG Turbodrum.

That 21 year old KIC dryer is actually the same as the older Simpson dryers we had here in Australia...
We even had that same colourings but I can't find a picture, this is the closest i can find to the same dryer...

I'm pleased
...that you noticed that Matty - I did too, but thought I must be nuts....
Now, knowing that Simpson dryers were made here, makes me think that dryer must have been exported from Oz or, at the very least, made under license...
