This one is made in 2008, first time used December 27th 2008. Sorry for the bad picture, I can't find pictures of it on my computer now, so I just print-screened one of my videos with it ;) |

I'm still unsure of the dates for both. The Bosch WTA2000 is now gone but I still have the WM64. WM64 is 1998. And sorry, the 262 is 29! Cheers. Chris. |

The U.S Frigidaire I had for a short while. I sold this to a friend because the people I was living with hated it.
No idea when this was built. Link to some video as well :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO mattywashboy's LINK |

My beloved Hoovermatic, just replaced the wash belt as the the wash action was slowing and lagging, back to full speed now though!
I got this just after moving out from the share house into the granny flat out the back with my partner matt. This pic was in the granny flat, I had a neutral brown theme on the wall opposite so the Hoovermatic looked really good there. Built in the late 70's/80's i would imagine??? |

When we got to the Granny Flat, there was this Hoover Commodore in the laundry, worked ok but had a lid switch issue which I couldn't fix. We were paying off the Electrolux at that point and this was just a stand in anyway, died quicker than expected though so had a borrow a Simpson top loader for two months to get by lol.

The Simpson I had to borrow from the friend that I gave the Frigidaire to. I actually really liked this machine :-)
I had repainted the laundry alcove by this point to my 'neutral brown' tone. I had also just ordered some Gain and Downy off Amazon, my two favourite american detergents. The green topped Downy is a gorgeous scent :-) |

I am sure your Simpson T/L was also sold under the Electrolux name. The selling point being it was a cross between a solid drum and traditional drum with holes....the machine would fill up, water would slowly trickle out of the few holes in the drum and be recirculated saving water by not completely filling the outer tub with water.
Anyway....here is my washer, 2008 Miele W1613, my 13th automatic and the one I have owned the longest. A lot of my previous machines were second hand and I sold them on when I got bored ( never had the place to collect ). I have had a few new machines that were duds, broke down within a short time. I love this washer as it's fast, washes brilliantly and is economical to boot! We bought it a week before we got married in 2008, I didn't think Hubby would go for a Miele BUT my obsession must have transferred to him momentarily as he did some research online.....he said he wanted a washer that would last and wanted a Miele! Cost us £649 from John Lewis with 5yr guarantee. Those in the know will notice the machine is doing and Express 40 wash with water plus selected....this was a load of worn once t shirts and joggers worn in the evening so just needed a freshen up....honest! |

My ex 1990/1991 Hotpoint Aquarius Ultima MicroProfile 05KG 1400RPM AutoWasher 9566. (Purchased in 2010 as a bundle buy). Sold to a friend, where it gave up within a month of selling to him, so has now ceased washing, but he's using the parts to upgrade his Hotpoint 9525, that my Uncle donated to him.

Washer111. Can you describe this program I see on your machine. What does it do to make it automatic(as if the other programs aren't) and to make it plus? |

The "Automatic" programme is for washing medium loads of mixed cottons/synthetics. The machine will sense what fabric makes up the majority of the load and alter the drum rotation, wash time and spin speed accordingly. For example, if the load is mostly cotton the machine will use the intensive wash rhythm, longer interim spins and a longer final spin. If the machine decides the load is mostly synthetic it will do a gentler wash rhythm, introduce a cool down phase at the end of the wash, have a higher rinse level and shorter interim and final spin speeds. The programme is only really designed for lightly soiled fabrics, it only has three temperature options, cold, 30C and 40C and has just two rinses (unless no spin is selected then it will do three). The final spin is limited to 1200rpm on my machine which is a 1300rpm spin model. You cannot select any options with this programme either ie: prewash or extra rinse.
It's not a programme I use often, I think I'd use it more if it did a cool down phase whatever wash action is used as if you are washing mixed fabrics the synthetics can become very creased if a mostly cotton load is detected. Here is a youtube clip ( not mine) showing the Automatic programme with the intensive wash rhythm. Hope that helps.

Indesit IWD5123. Purchased in Sept 2011. This machine was sold 4 months later as we never liked it due to the excess vibration and also the machine only does 2 rinses and there is no extra rinse facility. The 5kg drum was pretty small. |

Zanussi Flexi Dose Drum Filter. Instead of the usual lint filter on front of machine. They have put it inside the drum. Never liked this particularly. |

Detergent drawer in Zanussi Flexi Dose machine. Its very small and only has 2 compartments. Unlike the Jetsystem which is longer. |

Allan, that seems a bit excessive. Even on my cold fill only Miele, I don't clean the drawer out after every wash. I usually just remove the whole drawer once a month or so and wash it out in the kitchen sink.
I do wipe the seal down, but again, not after every load. I usually wait until after 3 or 4 loads before doing this. I've had my machine for 5 years now and there's not a spec of mould or grime anywhere on it.

I've have my Kenmore He4t for about 8 years. All I do is keep the door slightly ajar and the detergent drawer open. Every so often I give the dispenser a rinse with hot water because fabric softener seems to remain even though I have had the dispenser and the mechanism that directs water to each compartment changed twice under warranty. There is no odour or mold. The last time the tech guy was out, he was surprised that there was nothing in the pump clean out when he opened it. I use both liquid and powder detergent, bleach occasionally and fabric softener.

Yeah, it's probably a bit excessive but I'm usually a bit OCD in the first few months of owning something, such a new car or new appliance. I baby it at first but then I get a bit more relaxed (or lazy, lol) as time goes by. |
