While vising the promised land- (Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod Massachusetts), GadgetBoy and I ran into these. The machines are Australian. Apparently (as we have seen here before) Australians take water conservation VERY seriously. Water conservation is also of great concern in this location. These washers were programmed to deliver W-R-R-S for the regular price. For an additional dollar they add two more water-changes,a pre-wash and an additional rinse. Bad thing is they have a regular rubber boot, unlike say, Wascomats that do not. Looked like a potential weak-spot to me. Otherwise VERY NICE. Until 2000+/- this tiny Portuguese fishing village and artists' colony had huge water and sewage/septic tank problems when the seasonal summertime population swells to enormous numbers. Then came sewers. YAY! As a result of the new sewers, a permit was reissued for a public laundromat. The prior one had had its permit revoked due to the aforementioned water and sewage issues. To the credit of the Commonwealth (read: state) of Massachusetts has some of the strictest water/well/septic tank laws in this region. Apparently someone in that Commonwealth is not into drinking their neighbor's urine. GOOD FOR THEM. Anyhoo... here is a linky for these lovely machines. Enjoy.

Sharky: Searched YouTube for a video clip with good sound. Sadly, all that I found is silent. BOO HISS MOAN! Hoping this has sound on other computers or when viewed later. Thanks all for proper origin info. J'aime les choses Belgique. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK |

If the washers you saw had rubber boots, then they are soft-mount, 300G spin washers. That laundry owner spent good money on those machines. Ipso was purchased by the Alliance Laundry Group last year or the year before. Ipso 300G machines are making an appearance now with the Speed Queen, Huebsch and Unimac names on them. Likewise, Speed Queen/Huebsch dryers are appearing with the Ipso name on them. |

You can can bet the Alliance will milk Ipso for all the name is worth then dump it. |

~Do the machines you saw provide good extraction between the water changes? I believe 300G was mentioned. Didn't actually use them. The resort we were in had a GE Filter-flo! ~Did y'all enjoy your trip? Mecca was fabulous! Thank you. ~Did you two turn the coin laundry into your community center? Actually that was around the pool and jacuzzi, not the launder center! Just a few drunken drag shows by the gay and straight men. Nothing out of the the ordinary. ~Did the laundry owner institute a cover charge at the Cruise-O-Matic Automatic while you were in town? No cover charge, but like most places of its kind, if you feed the coin slots instead of just walking around "aimlessly" they do appreciate it. :-) |
