Great read Mike,
Plus my all time classic the Creda Super de luxe rhythm spin is there too. They has got to be one of them out there somewhere surely!

Thanks, Mike. I used to read old Which tests where they reported on the rinsing performance. Wonder when that stopped.
What..
Numbers do you relate to??
Mine are 2, 5 & 7...Lol
Al, yes great reference, always comes in handy
Hi Paul, yes same here, its amazing what you miss on the first read, or someone else will see something else!!
Craig, yes I jolly well hope so, would be great to find one!!
Tom, will have to go back and check about that, not sure...How do these rate to your old CR reports??

Mike,
Thank you so much for posting these reports. Takes me back to being a child and spending Saturday afternoons in Birkenhead reference library where my mum worked looking through the back issues of Which? magazines at washing machines and vacuums, longing for the Supermatic to break down so I could get my Mum to buy one of these fascinating automatics!!

Wonderful report! Finding a Westinghouse like that (Cordes) would be awesome!!

Have been re reading the reports....Wow! Shows how little water our modern auto's use. Admittedly in 1977 4 rinses were standard, 5 rinses on the low spin Indesits. Amazing to think my washer uses 49 litres for a 13lb 60deg cotton wash and, for example, the Servis Selectomatic used 150 litres for an economy 95 deg wash, which I assume means it was in effect a longer 60deg wash.
