Went back to have a look at Betta appliances on Sunday just to spend a bit of time before meeting friends for lunch, and lo and behold! a 10kg Teco (cheap Asian brand.),top loader with an actual agitator instead of the usual pulsator.
It looked to be a reasonable machine, see through lid and the agitator was a corkscrew shape, similar I think to the Whirlpool top loaders available here. Saw the Speed Queen range too the T.L. looked really sturdy and tough, but to be honest, I would baulk at paying nearly $2,300 AU for a washer no matter how good it may be. |

Hello Jim,
10kg means it will hold a 10kg clothing load, not sure what that would convert to, however 10kg is as far as I know the largest capacity machine you can get here in either style T.L. or F.L. I had a look at Teco's website and this model isnt on it yet, however if it is similar to my LG T.L.the water levels would be programmed automatically although I can manually over ride the auto selection. Really don't know about temperature selection sorry. Steve. |

10 kg converts to approx. 22 lbs (dry weight). Big enough for a party. I've googled Teco, but nothing much comes up. Did you snap a selfie with this washer? |

No I didn't I'm afraid Rapunzel, funny though that the model isn't on Teco's website too.
Just as an aside, and even though I am not in the market for a new washer yet, I think I am in love with the Euromaid 5kg front loader and the Beko 6.5kg front loader when next I am needing a new machine, both of these will go to the top of the list I think along with the 7kg F&P Washsmart. |

Well Steve, I can tell you that we're very happy with the 6.5kg Beko machine we bought nearly 12 months ago. It does, as Matty mentioned some time ago, have a fussy spin at times, but it cleans very well and is quick. Cottons 40c takes 1:24. You can vary the temperature from cold to 90c in 10c steps too and the 'daily wash' cycle is effective too especially if used on a 2/3rd capacity load. |
