This great looking Candy Turbomatic Washer/Dryer came in today, wow i thought what great retro styling (and build qaulity), it weighs a ton.
I am so tempted to save it, but i already have enough on the go and i am trying to make space in my garage. Here are a few fots, I am at work tomorrow so maybe i will change my mind.......... |

Oh how nice! :) I've always been a fan of old Candy machines, maybe you can bring it home and play with it a little bit |

800rpm spin, wow, it would take a week to dry a load in it!!
Sensible, know what you mean by that, I want that Hotpoint 18371 off ebay. But I have had some car trouble so have no money and no room just at this moment in time. Go on, save it, you now you want it, get some sky hooks fitted in the garage. |

...but not a weld-seam in sight. Maybe you should send the photo to Candy to remind them of how they should be making their machines ;-) Save it, they must be rare as rocking horse poo! Liam |

What a super looking machine! I had a Turbomatic for a brief period although it was the generation after that machine. I like the ratings plate that stated 5KG wash capacity!!! I think Candy were a bit optimistic there!!! My Turbomatic to an age to dry, it had an 800rpm spin too and would take nearly 3hrs to dry a half load!

I remember those from the Trident stores, solid looking, love the powder dispenser & handle, little detailed features that showed class.... and that drum is surely solid piece of kit. Looks like the layer of chip fat grease from the kitchen has kept it in relatively good nic, these where known as rust buckets!!!
Now to whip the top and back off and show us the workings!!! am assuming it has a fan heater blower and backplate condenser or was it heat and no wind only on the dryer?? |

Hi Gary, I'd say keep the machine coz I'm guessing there hard to come by. That's my personal opion but of course it is up to you. |
