Don't get upset....

It is only a machine.
You have to see life for all aspects....
If you don't it is not healthy.
Death comes to all.
Machines, animals, people.
You just have to roll with it.
It is just a machine in this case. Only a silly machine.
All is good.

Was an interesting way to get rid of a junk washer-looks like it was going to the curb anyway.We all know what happens to machines put on the curb---the KRUSHER!!!-JAWS OF DEATH!!!This machine shook itself to death.

That poor washer made me think of the paint shakers at Lowes or Home Depot.The washer was made to do the job of another appliance?They should have strapped a can of paint to it.

"Well it's a Candy" *LOL*

There's no need of stones ... Candy washers are self destroying :)

And it has always been the same! LOL

My mother bought a Candy in 1965 and after a year and three repairs it was broken beyond repair. Ofcourse my mother swore never to buy a Candy again!

No, they are not infamous in Oz, more because a lady I used to work with in London had one.

Hahah, it surprised me that the machine kept spinning for "long" after it capsized. My guess would have been that it exploded and stopped after the brick was thrown in.
Anyway I can't say nothing but good things about Candy. My current machine is a Candy and it outwashes all the machines I've ever had and rinses great! Compared to the Whirlpool it's another world. It's cheap but you get for what you pay for, 299€ is 299€. If it lasts 5 years I'll be satisfied.

That's a dangerous thing to do considering how fast the drum is spinning. That brick could have come out of that machine as a spinning projectile and killed him. I realize that some may enjoy destroying machines, It might be a stellar idea to think about safety before doing so.

Yes its dangerous.Not only could the brick been thrown from the machine-but the drum or parts of it as well.when the machine capsized while it was still going the brick was held in the drum by centrifical force since the drum was still rotating.If you are going to do this(Washer "Test") try to get behind cover.Remember the idiot and his TL DD WP washer awhile back-throwing golf clubs,sledgehammers and peices of house gutter into it while the washer was spinning.I remember another Youtube video of a washer that got blown up from plastic explosive or a hand grenade thrown in it-was some sort of FL machine.The "blasters" were behind cover as the machine blew up.It wasn't running when they blew it up.

Frankly, I think it would have been interesting had the brick flown out, hit him and sent him to the hospital so he'd have to explain how it happened, LOL! "Well, I threw a big brick into my spinning washing machine and..."

Nature's way of thinning the herd, kids.

It must be nice

front loading washers must be cheaper in Europe. But I'm sure the quality matches the price. Your right that brick should have hit him in the head.

I love washers as much as most of us on here, but you just got to laugh at that. Having experienced a candy washing machine this is prob a fitting end to the machines life. Now if it was an old f/l hottie it would of took much longer to fall to peices
