Hi Guys
I recently found this Use and Care manual for the 700 range of Simpson washing machines here in Australia. One of our family friends recently put one of these machines out to be collected by the rubbish and this was inside it. Its a great range of machines, very popular here in Australia, I can name at least 5 people I know with one of these machines. I remember coming to Australia at the age of 4 and Dad letting me sit on Aunty Annes new 'Big Simpson' as he put it. Anyway I have scanned in a few cool pages from it so you guys can peruse through it :-) Seasons Greetings for scorching hot Aussie! matty |

This is how the softener is dispensed using a Two Cup system. This is due to the Pulse spinning during Spray Rinses.The initial short pulse spins will have chucked the softener into the first cup. Then the machine would ramp up into a full fast spin and chuck it out into the agitator. Then dispensed into the water.

...was a Hoover system, not a Simpson one.
Hoover was owned by Southcorp - the wine and beer people - from around December 1994 to 1999 and the BOSS system came out during this time. Southcorp already had Chef and Dishlex. In 1999 the whitegood side was sold to Email who closed Hoovers Meadowbank factory which had already had its workforce decimated by Southcorps management. All the manufacturing of Hoover whitegoods (Front loaders and vacuums having already stopped production in about 1998) was then moved into the Simpson plant in South Australia.... Hoover Australia ceased to exist....and not long after this, Electrolux bought the lot. They almost immeadiately stopped leasing the Hoover name and Godfreys got the Vacuum side to retail. Now we only have larger refrigeration and some ovens made here as Electrolux have shipped everything else offshore. As for the stainless steel/poly inner tubs, well that is a case of specification level - nothing more and nothing less in just the same way as you can buy a car with standard alloy wheels or with plastic wheel covers.... |

....an Electra 550 in December 1994, so can testify to the overall quality of that machine. When it was replaced/updated by the 1000F, the key changes were:
- updated faceplate - capacity rating lifted from 4kg to 5kg.... I also bought a 325 litre Hoover upside down fridge (with jelly roll compressor) and Hoover Supreme dryer in July 1995. The washer cost me $850 in 1994 from Harvey Norman at Woden Plaza. I'd moved to Sydney in July 1995 and bought the dryer ($400+) and the fridge ($880) from David Jones at Chatswood after getting them to price match....Lucky I put them on my account as DJ's had a secret promotion that week only and I received 25% of my spend back in gift vouchers! We sold the fridge with the flat last year...and the dryer needed a little work, but both it and the washer are still going at 2 mates places... To put the cost of the washer in perspective though, they were the 2nd cheapest front loader on the market here at the time...but were and are amazingly reliable and absolutely bullet proof. Even now at 16yrs old they still cost $250-350 from a second hand shop...if you can find one to buy. |
