I never heard of this brand before but thought what a beautiful front load washer, for sure it is european does anyone no of this brand and the history.
Reminds me a little of Asko styling but more elegant in the looks department of the time. Just look at those mirror fineshed doors, and control panel. Darren k. CLICK HERE TO GO TO aldspinboy's LINK |

Darren,
I have no idea about the spinspeed. A wild guess would be around 800rpm. Don't know anything about the built quality, but the machine looks very solid. Constructa had the patent for boil washes, they were the market leader in boil wash machines I think. Bauknecht (who builds the Whirlpool/Kenmore biggest frontloaders in Germany) also had boil wash machines, but IIRC they payed for Constructa for using the patent. |

Sorry for being sooo late on this thread...
I have lost an animal and just going through emotional stuff. So i want to think you Joe & Louis, Nick for the information on the Brocke washer. Joe that was a great story on the machine, the pressure bag unit was simular on a machine that Lee maxwell has on Oldwash.com in his collection it was a clamshell type of vessell over a wringer washer i am not sure about how the pressure was applied i think it was air not sure but had the same effect on removing water how cool. For sure this machine does look great and a beauty i just love the way the controls are on the panel it looks like a old style reciver knobs, and such a positive feel to them as well i like the clicking sound of the cycle progression. It also reminds me of one of the best dishwasher i ever had the way the cycle progressed, it was a GAGGENAU 215 Machine cold water feed dishwasher loved it. Thanks Joe for the writing the commercial and the compliment on my picture the best to you. Louis Kuppersbusch has landed here in the US about four or five years ago they have a very beautiful octagon shape smooth top burners where you can set them in a counter top anyway you want them pretty interesting. But there dishwashers are made by Bosch it seems. Darren k. |
