THAT....is an Aussie designed Simpson/Electrolux cloned washer.
All Australian market Simpson washers have been built in Thailand for the past few years. Cheers Leon CLICK HERE TO GO TO mayfan69's LINK |

Wow, who knew? Obviously has spray rinses with the option for a deep rinse via the fabric softener option. I'm guessing this also means no 1st spin, as with the Immersion Care. My two gripes with that machine were its lack of a 1st spin and the dumbed-down hot water.
Such machines only confirm my preference for front-load format. |

I like the modified ramps on the bottom of the otherwise F & P style agitator.
In Leon's link, there is mention of a water re-use function but no explanation available. Anyone have the skinny on the water re-use? Interesting machine. Last second illumination: Linked text mentions an Eco rinse. Might that be a clone of the Whirlpool Resourse Saver rinse which "re-uses" the sprayed water through recirculation before pumping it out? |

This is the washbowl. As this model is an upper spec machine it comes with a pull out detergent dispenser and the lid is a soft closing type. |

This is the lower level model. It has a cycle knob that turns and capacative touch buttons to select temp, soil level and water level. It doesn't have the soft close lid or detergent dispenser. |

SOOooo, "Frigidaire" means something different depending who's reading it on what continent. Might have seen that coming. I've got one (from 1998, no complaints at all) but bears absolutely no resemblance in form or function. At the time, White owned the US rights to the name and the machine was actually an Electrolux. Also sold as GE and one other badge (Whirlmore/Kenpool).

Hi Malcolm
This is the only video I could find on these types of Simpson's. While this is an older model, the wash action of the Frigidaire will be pretty much the same. Not the best quality, but you get the idea. Cheers Leon CLICK HERE TO GO TO mayfan69's LINK |

Found this as well, an owner demonstrating her new 9.5kg Simpson EziSensor control panel.

I kinda like it and it seems like it would wash better than the Immersion care line they have out which is kinda sad to say the least.My G.E. Harmony which is still working after 8 years washes rings around most of these new top-loaders that are out that goes double if I put it on super-clean.I don't know if I got lucky with that machine but there are not many machines that will wash over 12 hours on the market.That is a 8 hour soak and wash and followed by a 4 hour wash with the heater on and it did take all the stains out that I wanted out.I have had no problems though out of it but, I like my 1-18 better though more fun to watch. |
