While browsing on the internet I saw an Olympia washing machine mentioned. I never had heard about it and after a Google search I ended up at the Olympia website. It looks like a welbuilt frontloader and what some people will appreciate, it still seems to have a mechanical timer (or would that be an electronic one disguised as a mechanical one?).

AskoMiele, What a fine machine, they remind me very much of the Indesit range over here of the late 70`s, the mechanics of an Asko and programming & reliability of Miele... Does the powder dispenser tip open to form a shute, or does it pull out to form a dispenser?? Would love to see that in action, thanks Louis for spotting it!!! Mike |

It's a dispenser draw picture included. This machine spins clockwise at 1100 rpm max. It has high standards in washability. It turns 10 sec. left pauses for 1 sec. and turns 10 sec. right on the normal cycle. Thanks for the interest. |

also when it does normal spins does water go down the glass, obviously from the inside? |

Wow, a great looking machine. The boot, the door and hinges (Particularly the latch) and the shape of the control panel look amazingly like the 70's Miele's. How long has this company been around? |

I've uploaded some videos I made during summer. Forgive me but my voice is all over them. And because english is 3th languages, there might be some faults. But enjoy! Machine is filling. CLICK HERE TO GO TO askomiele's LINK |

Hello AskoMiele Your English is excellent and your commentary is very easy & stylishly pronounced to listen to....the detergent dispenser is the same as the Asko, certainly on my MaytagAsko just that the main wash & pre-wash are reversed... What spin speed does the does the Olympia 1001 do?? I love those controls, look very easy to use, many thanks for the vids... Mike |
