220V-60 Hz or 220V-50 Hz? Eddy, have you checked the rating plate to verify if this is a 60 Hz or 50 Hz unit? Emilio | ||

Eddy's model WA709SC is almost similar to the WA712SC in this brochure. The only difference would be the 95 degrees button which was added later for energy efficiency reasons. The highest temperature that you could choose on the timer was 60*C, for a boil wash you would have to especially push the 95 button. It was Bauknecht's alternative for the "E" buttons that appeared on lots of machines. The TRA350 and TRA410 are dryers based on Zanussi models. The TRA350 is also similar to the Speed Queen compact dryer that you can see in pictures of the Speed Queen twintub. This dryer however has a plastic see though door while the Speed Queen had a solid square door. | ||

Thank you Louis!
Those are wonderful scans. I checked on the hz rating like Emilio asked of my machine and it says 60 hz which surprised me. Maybe this model was made for export? Yet there is no English at all on it and all the rating info is in German. The plug also has been modified with one that fits the North American 220V outlet. Jon: I think I caught the front loader fever from you. I have 5 now including an old Neptune. Oddly enough I've been dreaming of boots lately ;-)) | ||

Bosch Simpson That is a great looking machine. Michael's mother has a Simpson Bosch from 76 that has never been used. It has a plastic tub and is most unlike any Australian Dishwasher from that era. Its doorseals are all crumbley, and the parts are incredibley expensive. One day I might get around to it. | ||

What a great catch ! What is the spinspeed 500 or 850 rpm ? Rpm would perhaps read Upm on the German rating plate. We have had a Bauknecht dishwasher of that time period and a dryer that looked like the TRA 771, but our washer was a Miele, so I can`t wait to hear everything about the programes. My Mom swore by Bauknecht because she loved the the simplicity and the prices were affordabel. | ||

Bauknecht at that time was still a reliable brand I guess. Later the problems must have started, nowadays Bauknecht has a bad name, too many people are having problems with them. I found it rather interesting to see that the Whirlpool Proline 6kg model sold in the UK is actually a Bauknecht. Interesting that Bauknecht was sold as Beekay in the UK. Just an assumption, but I guess Bauknecht is hard to pronounce for the British. So they must have thought BK or Beekay was easier to use. That Husqvarna dryer is indeed a Bauknecht. I rememeber seeing a Husqvarna/Bauknecht set once in an interior magazine. IIRC Husqvarna once was an independent brand? In the end they ended up as part of the Electrolux concern as much other brands. | ||

Those were wonderful machines
Bauknecht was always a strong player in the German market - not the same exalted quality (and price) and Miele, but always far easier to use and with more useful features than the Bosch, Siemens, Constructa group. In quality, they were somewhere between AEG and Siemens. Which is still 1000X better than anything built nowadays. I've taken a lot of shit for saying it, but it's true none the less: Whirlpool killed this wonderful brand's reputation. The Bauknecht of today is, sadly, nothing at all like what you have there. By the by, replacement parts for many components can be sourced at regular German parts houses or using industry standard components - Bauknecht used a lot of AEG and Siemens parts, thank goodness. | ||

It's a pity indeed that the Bauknecht quality has gone so downward, the brand really deserved a better fate. Overhere the Bauknecht BIG (similar to the Whirlpool Duet etc.) was recently on sale. It was only €699.-, a real bargain. I would have been interested if the dryer would have been available here too, but apparently Bauknecht decided not to sell it on the European continent. Probably too expensive. I would have loved to give it a try for a while. I didn't know Bauknecht used AEG and Siemens parts. But they do have a history of borrowing from other brands like they did with the boil wash feature from Constructa. Their slogan in the Netherlands used to be: Bauknecht weet wat vrouwen wensen (Bauknecht knows what women wish / Bauknecht weiss was Frauen wünschen). | ||

Hi all My mother had 2 Bauknechts between 1989 - 1994 and 1994 - 1998. The first one was a 1000rpm model and it was so solid, it did not move a millimetre when spinning. In 1994 we moved house and I decided to by her a new washer (for me really LOL!). First I went for a Miele W916 top of the range at the time and over £1000. Unfortunately, it vibrated (more than the Bauknecht) I tried everything, maybe we had just been unlucky because my current Miele does not shake at all. Next I went for the Asko top of the range 1500rpm. Wasn't as good as I thought and the module blew 2 weeks later. My mother decided she wanted another Bauknecht. No nonsense dials and stable. It was about £500 and was infact better than the previous machines. The old Bauknecnt had been sold btw. It only semi broke down because a bra underwire got caught in it and in removing it we could not get it back together as well and it shuddered on 1200. It went to a friend and lasted for many years. My mum had my Sensor 1996 AEG and then was replaced by a premier novo Miele in 2000 which is great. So Bauknecht were great! Brush motors a tad noisy but very stable and reliable. Here is my mother's machine. Rob

Oh! That is almost the same model as my brother and SIL had. It was a horror machine, had three repairs in the first year and some more after that. After five year it was not working again and the repair was supposed to be €450.-. They replaced it with an AEG and swore never to buy a Bauknecht product again.
