Hi Steve, as "Favorit" (AEG dishwasher) I'd dare to say your Lavamat is a 520 because of the single button aside the orange light (half load). Is that right ? What about that Merloni (Equator) aside the Lavamat ? Has it any vibration issue while spinning ? | ||

I can opersonally testify to the effectiveness of the AEG. Steve had that machine when I visited prior to the 2002 Convention in Maryland!! I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes--the whites and the water color as the dirt was taken out of the fabrics!! It's why I think front loaders with heaters are the best and Frigidaires and the next best!! With results like that, I don't care how long the cycle takes--it's the results that count. So take that all you front load bashers!!!

AEG Lavamat
For awhile a high end kitchen appliance dealer in Canada (Euroline) was selling and shipping AEG washing machines and dryers down south to the US. Problem was one had to do the install one's self and there wasn't any local service. Should something go wrong you had to ring Canada, speak to a tech who would then ship parts (if they were in stock), or they would have to be ordered from Germany. Long story short the scheme didn't last too long, and not many units were sold anyway. As with Miele units of the same time, the AEG's are small by USA standards and required a 220v connection. Mind you unlike the Miele units, AEG washers and dryers were true 220v, which meant one could run them off a converter as there weren't any 120v parts (again unlike Miele USA's models), and the unit did not care if it got American or European 220v power. Only fly in the ointment was that the appliances were 50hz, not 60hz. This of course made certian things run faster, such as the timer/electronics and therefore cycles. One owner over on THS posted how he got used to and made mental adjustments for the differences in speed/timing. | ||

Westinghouse Washing Machine
Oh yes, am too well aquainted with those Westinghouse laundry appliances. Much as one loves washers and things laundry today, did not always feel that way and deeply disliked being stuck indoors at Grandmama's cleaning, vacuuming, polishing and doing the wash. I mean what was the point of going "away"? If one wanted to do chores could have just stayed at home! *LOL* Anyway, when Grandmama had her kithen redone, and the first time I saw the pair thought it was rather fast as Grandmother was not one to spend money freely, nor go for anything "high tech". Her new fridge and range and vent hood, were Harvest Gold as well, and the oven even had a self cleaning function. Had never seen a front loading washing machine before as my home like everyone else one knew had top loading washing machines. The "Weigh to Save" bit got on ones nerves after a while. Just wanted to bung the lot into the washer and get on with things. Remember we just chucked whatever washing powder was used on top of the wash and shut the door, as the machine lacked a dispenser. Fabric softener was simply poured into the drum after the second to last final spin. You had to wait until there was enough water in the tub otherwise the stuff would stain laundry. IIRC, my aunt and cousins who lived with Grandmama may have started to use dryer sheets. Have to ask around and see if one or both of the appliances are still in the house. Grandmama passed on years ago, but my aunt sill owns the house. | ||

What about the one next to the AEG? What brand is the Italian machine next to the AEG? It looks very much like machines branded as Bendix here in Australia in the early 1990's. | ||

Equator
Was the brand name Merloni slapped on Italian or Swiss made washing machines, dryers and combo units sold in the United States. Merloni also purchased or some how aquired the rights to the Bendix name, hence one sees similar machines in OZ and elsewhere. IIRC, Merloni also has other iconic appliance names such as Thor in it's stable. L. | ||

AEG buttons
Hi Steve, you got the first 3 just fine, you're right about that third button, it reduces the spin speed from 850 to 650. The 4th button is an "E" inside a coin purse which means press for energy saving. What this does is reduce the temperature of the main wash but wash for a longer period of time. So if you chose 95 celcius it would wash at 67 celcius and add about 20 more minutes to the wash time.
