It's a fantastic & quiet washer. First of all it's great to be able to spin just one item without the time consuming fussy balancing control it just gets on with it 500,800 then 1000rpm all done in 5 minutes. The suspension on this machine is excellent it just stays in place even with a severe unbalanced load. 5 Full rinses with 500rpm spins on the cotton cycles at high or low water levels, low level is more than adequate to rinse perfectly. Just wish i had a instruction book for it because with all the option buttons on it i'm not quite sure which ones are compatible with certain programmes. Half load & the spin reduction buttons work on all the wash programmes but i'm not sure about the other ones. They is also no wash guide on the control panel i have worked out the cotton ones NO-1 pre wash & 95deg. NO-2 95deg . NO-3 60deg. NO-4 40deg. NO-5 cold wash. NO-6 rinses. N0-7 fab cond & 1000rpm final spin. Been thinking about the age of it & i keep coming up with 1990.

I grew up with the more basic model, with programme and temp dial, 3 buttons and an 800rpm spin. That one was bought in the summer of '88, so this will be late 80s. Hope you enjoy it! Matt |

I picked it up yesterday a customer came into our shop wanting to buy a new tumble dryer because her old Bendix compact had set on fire. She then decided on buying a Hoover washer/dryer. They is nothing what so ever wrong with it. It's great having a hot & cold feed washer back & the quiet sound of the pump makes me realise how noisy pumps are nowadays.

Thanks Liam for the information on the option buttons. I used the energy save last night & it reduces the temperature down on the boil wash to 60deg. I'm gonna try it now on the cottons 60 wash to see if it reduces it down to 40 but i think it could just possibly work on the boil wash, i will let you know.

This button is very strange for a hand wash feature. What it does is that on all the wash programmes apart from the 95 & 60 deg which only fill with hot water, it activates both the hot & cold water solenoid valves so you get a warm wash without the heating element coming on & it fills with a mixture of hot & cold water when rinsing. I've never come across that on a uk machine.

Yes that's just what i thought Liam, but it also does this when selected on the cotton cycles, just imagine the cost when it's filling & doing 5 high level rinses in warm water. it just doesn't make sense, & i still dont understand the rapid wash button. This machine is exciting & i love a challenge so it's my day off work tomorrow so i will try & get my head around the rapid wash button.

Excellent,
I've been searching all over for a instruction book. Is it possible for you to scan the pages about the option buttons & post it on here, because i can't work out what programmes work with the rapid wash & the hand wash buttons. Great to know that you have the same or a similar machine. They are awesome machines that were built to last. Many Thanks Craig |

Our printer at work is a Epson & that wont let you scan unless you have ink in it even though ink isn't required for scanning. It would be great to see your Omega on here, i wonder if its the same model or maybe a different spin speed. I will check on line to see if any of our suppliers have any brown plinths because mine is missing but i doubt very much that any will be available. Looking forward to the pics!

Hi there, and congratulations on your find !
I had a very similar looking Indesit bought in 1988, it was the first washing machine I had on my own. It was a more basic model with a grey fascia, a second dial for infinite temperature and only three buttons (ON/OFF, Half Load, 500/1000). It also was a cold fill only. The numbers on the timer, detergent drawer, drum etc. were 100% identical. One thing was totally different. My washer had a VERY noisy brush type motor. I assume yours must be an induction motor, otherwise you wouldn`t have said it was a silent washer. On mine one could also hear the belt slip at the commence of each tumble unless it was running almost empty and it also spent a lot of time just sitting around and doing nothing. So I guess they came with different motors. I had also trouble with the door seal, it was getting sticky like chewing gum, so I got rid of it when warranty had expired. Find it amazing they are still out there in good working condition. Thanks for bringing back the memory! |

There is no induction motor on this, it has a ceset brush motor but to me it's much quieter than todays brush motors. I think your the second person that has said that it just sits around doing nothing this is just not true it goes through stages of maybe 5 long then 5 short tumbles which i find produces a far better wash performance also the distribution speed just short of sticking the laundry to the sides of the drum seem a far better way of balancing the load when going into spin compared to lets say a Hotpoint 95 series machine.

Hello, I know this was ages ago but hey, this is the only reference to these machines I can find on the net!I've got a W822R, it came from a house clearance place where a few of my machines have come from now. It works fine, it's cleaned up well bar the door seal which will be replaced (Litterally just ordered it). These machines are far better than I thought they'd be!
Anyway, here's mine. Chris |
