You have a new house, you don't have a washing machine and you're out of money to buy an expensive TOL model but you also don't want to do laundry by hand. What would you find in your local market to solve this issue? What are the cheapest models available? |

Belissima This machine is the same Acqua, but with an agitator instead of the impeller. It also had the Belissima vision version, with automatic cycles, water inlet valve and drain pump. This is the TOL model of these cheap machines. CLICK HERE TO GO TO thomasortega's LINK |

If one wants to spin dry the load, a spin dryer can be an excellent option. those machines are really cheap and great even for those who have a standard automatic washer. as it spins much faster than standard washing machines, they can remove much more water from the loads, saving drying time.

...the cheapest options would be either:
- a twin-tub for $367
- a small style impeller top loader for about $398 or, if you have the budget,
- Euromaid 5kg washer for $419...or the 7kg model for $539
Once you hit $550 ish, there is much more choice from Fisher and Paykel, Simpson and Whirlpool...
Personally, I'd take the small Euromaid for $419..... |

I would do as I do now-go to the thrift stores or swap shops in the area-and look for BD KN,WP,older GE-hotpoint Filter flo,and Speed Queens.I haven't bought nor do intend to buy a new washer.Just don't like what customers are being forced to buy. |

OK, thanks... what I said would still stand regardless of the loading type anyway... as the European market as you propably know is mostly dominitated by FLs.
Unless of course one decides to buy one of those portable washing machines for the caravan... they can still be used at home. I saw a model in a catalogue the other day and if I'm not wrong it'd cost about £85.00 and can wash up to 1kg (2.2lb) of laundry: well, I guess... at least one can have clean underwear and socks with one of those ;-) |

@Haxisfan LOL yes, the EU market is full of FLs. Yes, those caravan models can be considered too.. I have a tiny caravan twin tub that I bought in China. It's really fun to use it and it's a very good machine for the price I payed for it (actually, if i consider only the price i payed, it's the best washing machine in the world LOL.) Of course those aren't too practical for everyday laundry because it's too small. |

I wish I could have those Haier washers in Brazil. Of course they aren't as good as standard machines, but they are very cute. There's a video on youtube showing a Haier baby washer in Europe, maybe from a member IDK. I think that's the cutest ones because of the size, mechanical dial and internal heater.

me i remember when i replace my 93 topload washer dryer for the duet set i have today both washer and dryer where replace at the sametime even do the dryer was still working and if you look at the following pic when in 2009 my grandmother replace her belt drive kenmore washer for her direct drive whirlpool washer she keep her vintage dryer for half of 2010 until she replace it for the matching dryer that go with her 2009 washer. And sadly today rather than move good working appliance pepole moving today prefer to sell there old appliance with there house or condo and buy a new set. And can anyone tell me when whirlpool started using bigger lids on there direct drive wahser and do any one have any brochures scans of this 2009 whirlpool dd washer. Thank you.
