Details please, details.......

 

I have never, ever seen one of these before and would have considered bodily harm to get my hands on a baby washing machine.....

 

That is probably one of the rarest modern washing machines in the country.......

It's a Eudora Euronova/Babynova. Looking at the spin speed, your model looks like one of the more recent ones that have drum suspension.

I've got a Bendix Super Compact (made by Eudora in the 80's) and I love it, it doesn’t have any suspension so its a bit wild when it's trying to balance the load!

Wow, nice find there Josh, and the question is "Is It 1000rpm spin"?? all in a little box...

I first thought it was going to be an Asko...then saw the next pic, looks like its got a great combination of time temp & spin selections as well as memory programmes!!

I love those older swingy Eudoras...but expect this is steady with the faster spin...looking forward to more pics/ vids!!!

Looking on the website and talking of Asko....dont you just love those badged "Professional" machines!!! & real workhorses!!!

I love my Bendix - it's just a shame its spin speed is only 520 rpm and it needs new bearings too.

I've found a video of what seems to be a similar model:

haha well Chris, Dan and Mike:P

i found it on ebay au the day my boyfriend and i were talking about the no more washing machines rule, i simply and broke said thats mine and spent only $160 all up on it, it was ten minutes down the road from me, my favorite washer and i never thought id get my hands on it. cant tell me its not a sign hey?

he's called Kent, he's cute and pretty cool. it takes a long time to get through the cotton 30 cycle maybe 2 hours.

ive got a translator on my phone for the wash programes so hers the list

P1 cotton
P2 easy care
P3 wool
P4 spin ( two positions but they both seem to be identicle in time and speed)

the bottons are



pre wash/skip phase Delicate agitation



Rinse hold eco

the spin is at 1000rpm and it goes up a bit like bosch, a bit shaky and smoothes out and you can hardly hear it. the only way to add clothes WAS to turn the knob up and wait for it to drain then to the key and it opens, but ive just found the button for emergency door opening under the panel with kenwood on it so ill be using that from now on thanks to the boyf coming up with clothes after i hang them haha. im washing in it right now and im thinking i might buy and get one shipped over from germany or where ever i can get them brand new just incase they're discontinued, dont mind about the cost just as long as i have a back up. if you want any vids just tell me and ill see what i can do:P

thanks for the feed back guys i really appreciate it hope everyones well and happy
has anyone had experiance with these machines i need help with the eco button ill put up a few pics of why im confused haha

They are branded all sorts of names, I think they also went under some of the Antioni Merloni brands when they owned them too.

They look like fantastic machines and seem to be well regarded - I hope you enjoy yours!

We almost purchased this one, until we got our current nasty Hoover Washer Dryer:

maybe "S" is eco for small loads,"L" is for eco large load and the last one is for large loads with pre wash? its the only thing that made sense to me what do you think?

That's adorable! Were these typically more expensive since they are more rare, like most compact & portable machines were/are in the U.S.?

They were never sold in Australia to the best of my knowledge.....and I believe they are VERY expensive new given their size/capacity....

 

From reading the instruction manual, it appears that the rinses are programmable both in number and possibly water level...

 

Josh, don't forget to use about a 1/3 the quantity of detergent in this baby or it'll never rinse properly....

 

3Belt, they are about 45cm wide - so take about 2/3 or 3/4 the space of a traditional (for us) machine.....yet are very fully featured.

Ok...

 

S = Economy (think lower temperature + longer time)

L= Intensive

 

So I guess that the L+Prewash is intensive + prewash which probably means longer time at stated temperature + prewash....

RE "3Belt, they are about 45cm wide"

thus 45/2.54= 17.7 inches; say 18 inches!



That is just a tad wider than the 5 buck Haier HLP21N I bought off of ebay with a 1.9 cuft drum

Tide!!!

 

Mmmmm....I'd be using something known to be very low sudsing....Omomatic/Drivematic etc....With Omomatic, you could get away with about 1/6th of a scoop according to Choice (at 1/4 dose in a standard sized machine it became the 3rd best powder in their last test...at half dose, it was still the best!)

i think as washer evolves with the year so are the detergents that we use with or washers because i think that we will see least and least powerdered detergents and more liquids detergents as liquids ar biodegradable. and newer detergent are also more concetrated if you look at a detergent bottle label like for ex: liquid tide he ye will see 2x concentrated or on some 3x concentrated

Hi Josh

Try this website: USA Foods.com.au. They're based in Victoria and offer some Tide products as well as a few others.

Cheers

These Eudora/Eumenia machines are really cute.
And it's the exact size of my Enxuta Sollo.

Mine has no suspension and the spin is controlled by a pendular sensor and the casters are used to reduce the vibrations and make the machine dance (and sometimes jump like a horse)


Post# 506038 , Reply# 40   3/23/2011 at 03:33 (4,754 days old) by ronhic (Canberra, Australia)        
Ok...Here's the fix

ronhic's profile picture

- Turn on 

- Turn the programmer to P2 .C (thats the cold setting)

- Hold down buttons 2 and 3 (thats top right and bottom left) at the same time for about 3 seconds....

- '00' should display

 

...and you should be able to use it again...

 

I have no idea what F7 is, but you need to look after this Josh...it is highly likely that you won't be able to get it fixed if it breaks and that means using an appropriate dose of a very low sudsing detergent...don't forget American detergents are for very large capacity machines. The owners manual for this states you should be using a 1/2 dose for an equivalent European sized machine....

 

...to that end, I would dose at 1/4 for American detergents and about 1/3 for OMO Matic....

Congratulations on finding this awesome little washing machine. Should provide you with hours of fun. Not to mention that you are probably the only one to have this machine in Australia makes it extra special.

Also I love the Hoover Galaxy with its very 80's style graphics on the control panel.
