last but not least My trusty Defy Autodry which serves me very well whilst leaving the Bosch in storage as backup when needed.

Anybody care to comment? Perhaps some info on the bosch? Would be nice to know why they made this particular model without the usual (brush type) motor. Instead uses start cap and reg. motor. What are the correct names to these motors I'm referring to? | ||

Instead uses start cap and reg. motor That motor is a Squirrel cage induction motor. The advantages are that they are quiet, strong and as they only have a rotor, do not require armature & brush changes. Brush motors were introduced to allow for varying spin speeds, but induction motors are now electronically controlled. | ||

Thank you for sharing pictures of your modern machines. I was wondering if you know what the spin speed is of the Bosch. Does it say on the specifications plate on the machine.
Your Laundromaid is probably very similar to my LG Turbodrum. If you could I would love to see a picture of the inside. Give us a money shot! lol Is the Daewoo your favourite? | ||

laundromaid similar to LG turbo drum sorry to burst any bubbles, but personally i think that the laundromaid is nothing like the LG turbo drums. maybe they are the same as the over seas turbo drums. but lets have a money shot of your turbo drum too just to check | ||

Lots of pictures of my Turbodrum in this thread in the archives, including a money shot picture (a bit more further down than the first series of pictures).
I would love to compare, not all LG toploaders have the three little turbo impellers in the larger impeller. CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||

I like the Turbodrum so so. I like it because those machines are very rare here. What I don't like about it is the amount of water it uses compared to my frontloaders. I also think the wash results are not as good as with the frontloaders and the wear and tear is a bit higher. So, as an every day machine I wouldn't be very happy with it, but as part of my collection I appreciate it.
