Hey guys, I absalutely love electrolux group machines, i think they've always made brill machines. hence i have 2 older zanussi's my next daily driver in my kitchen once i'm rid of the hotpoint will be a zanussi and have been on a quest for an opaque doored electrolux for sometime. My question is, does anybody have a brochure which featured these machines? I have many pictures i've collected from the internet of them and a manual, but i've never seen an electrolux brochure with the features or anything. If anybody has any info, pics or thoughts on these machines this would be the place to share them:) I've seen a few videos on youtube too. Heres a pic from my archive!:D Darren |

I absolutaly love those machines my nanny had one of the it was a navy one with two dials and one half load button it was brilliant she had it for 12 years and then gave it to my stepmun's mam. it was fifteen years old when sadly it finally packed in. my nanny had a few problems with it tho during its life, like when she first got it she told me that when she first turned it on she didn't know about the transit brackets and they were left in and she sai she got the fright of her life when she walked in and seen it dancing around the kitchen ha ha. here's a pic of the same machine my nanny had.

Timon, i love the videos you put on youtube, i saw them on a previous thread about these machines, i'd love to see more in better lighting! Did these spin in the wash? And is it my imagination, or did they come in brown panels aswell. i'm certain i saw a brown panel one in the coop when i was about 5. Darren |

Hi Timon, This is the WH2125, the TOL model in the UK. Sorry the quality isn't very good, it's the best I can find! |

Gotta Love those opaque door model electrolux machines, my neighbour has one still, she bought it in May 1988, and its a turbo washer dryer. Is quiet as a whistle when its washing and spinning. My best friend has this Electrolux EW900 from 1993 (pictured below), it has a 900rpm spin, i think this was one of the new generation Electrolux machines, which were based on the Zanussi Nexus construction, its a fantastic machine, makes that great humming sound when its washing, i think they had a jetsystem model too but it was called Aquaspray wash system |

P6000 machines had Carboran outertub, C7000 and C8000 had stainless steel outertub. Every machine is a evolution of something before, but it's wrong to say the Opaqe door machines is the same as P6000 series!!! And P series had splitted cabinet, not a backpanel you find on the C series. If the machines had the same drum, tub, and steering system, it could be called the same machine, with cosmetic change, but it's not so with P and C series. The small machine you are talking about, is the EW1170C I think. I have one! It's made in Sweden. |

That Brazilian LE 750 from the video, is that a gentle cycle ? I guess the waterlevel ist just too high for a normal cycle`s main wash, or was it dumbed down to only one high level? Interesting to see that 60°C ist the hottest setting and there is no pre wash. Is it hot and cold fill, because of a 110 V heating element ? Thanks I am curious |

You should have a look at the reconditioned electrical shops, they do second hand washers, we have a few in Nottingham, though they sell mostly old hotpoints, hoover ecologics and Bosches but you do get the rare electrolux machine in there, last time i looked I found a Zanussi Computawash! But yeah check Ebay!!! |

that looks awesome timon90, you know your electrolux does it have numbers for programmes or letters? as the woman i know who has a turbo washer dryer and it has letters on the dial? That design reminds me of a zanussi computawash from 1988 Btw i wish they would go back to the bog standard 4.5kg drum they look better :) |

From looking at some of these manuals, i didn't realise they only did 2 rinses on synethetics!!! My zanussi's do 4 rinses for cottons & 3 for synethetics & wool. The elux's did 3 for cottons, 2 for synthetics & 3 for delicates and wool! Kyle: Do you go to them often? What sort of prices do things tend to go for? Darren |

The EW1170C is a beautiful little washer, and is pretty silent. I bought it from a guy very cheap, and got it home, and realized that the pump was bad, and the watervalve was frosen to peieces, so I got back half the money! It is still a son of this machine, EWC1350. Still a Swedish made machine. I remeber I saw the EW1170C when I was ca 6 years old, on "Elkjøp", Norways biggest appliance store. I really wanted it so much, but it was very expencive. I got a brochure, and I still have it:)

I forgot to mention, i have 2 offical zanussi and electrolux parts information catalogue detailing every part of every machine, with diagrams, i've just been looking through all the opaque models:D I got these from my old boss at my last job, aswell as all the service information for a hotpoint liberator toploader and a hotpoint spinslider 95series machine!:D Also on a side note, the zanussi jetsystem washer/dryer WDJ1013 operates the same as the Opaque electroluxes in that the temperature dial is also the power switch!!!! question for those who know, Did the jetysystem electroluxes spin in the wash on synthetics or just cotton? Aw those baby electrolux machines are cute! lol. I've just been through an old 1993 catalogue with the redesigned electrolux machines in, the model in it is a EW1200ACL which is 5kg 1200 also with door release. This is a range i know very little about unfortunately! Does anyone know much about this range too? |

I know a bit about these machines, i'm pretty sure they are based on the Nexus Construction which was what they made the Zanussi Jetsystem/Nexus/Amie machines from 1994-1999. My friend rachael has the 900rpm spin model which i displayed in a previous post the EW901 which has the temp dial prog dial and 4 buttons, I clearly remember these in the East midlands electricity shop xxx |

yes that WH818 is the machine my nanny had, god i miss that machine she'd probably still have it now if she didn't upgrade the kitchen to all intergrated appliances, she was so happy with that machine, that she got a electrolux EW1200i in its place which is 8 years old this year and still going(barely) she gave the WH818 to my stepmum's mam, on its last day in my nannys house i remember walking into the kitchen and just seeing it sitting there at the wall all on its own and then when the courier came to collect it, i just kept looking at it as it drove out of the garden and thinking would i ever see it again? i did but only once when i went up to the house, there was a lot of people in the room so i only got a quick glimps of it but i could hear it from the sitting room,that lovly purr of the smooth induction motor tumbling away and then spining, then we went back home and i never seen it again.tho i kept getting updates on it from my dad, i was sad in 2006 when he told me the machine packed in, i wasn't really paying attention to wat he was saying until he mention it and i just shouted WHAT! he told me it was leaking from behind the machine she dumped it out in her garden and got a Fagor washer. and for all i know she could probably still have it in her shed cause before she got the electrolux she dumped the SnowCap machine in the garden and it was left there for 2 years!i haven't seen her in a while but next time i se her im going to ask her about it. By the way that WT252 Dryer was the matching one off the the washing machine my nanny gave that to her aswell sadly that died a year before the washer. |

"Its great, i love how the machine starts staight away as soon as you press the on/off button. it makes the exact same humming sound as the older electroluxes, it does high level rinses on the cottons rinses." Kyle - its interesting this statement. Ours always had a silent 5 second or so pause between pressing the on/off button and the machine door locking click and starting to fill with water. My Mothers Electrolux EW1130F was this generation of Electrolux with the same door and fascia - the next level up with ALC Direct Spray (Jetsystem). *1000rpm *Heavy Soil *Quickwash *Rinsehold *Spin Care - reduced spin from 1000rpm to 850rpm *Variable Temp Dial We had ours 1992 - 2000 I was aged 8 - 16 so it did most of my junior school stuff and all of my high school uniform lol. Shame it died months before it got to tackle my Catering College Chef Whites, im sure it would of done a way better job than the Hoover Quattro 1300 AA230. I have scans of Mums machine itself along with the model your friend has in its brochure along with the full range circa 1992 if you want me to MSN them to you Kyle. Rob |
