A Currys exclusive brand name - I bought one almost identical in 1990 for £210 which I thought was fantastic value at the time. The top was squared off rather than angled and no washing guide. The motor was stamped Philco and I think it was cold fill only but cannot be sure now. You pushed in a flap in the centre of the detergent drayer to pull it out. Wash capacity 9lbs, drying 6lbs. It was also a very shallow machine, maybe 21 ins front to back, even when pushed back to the wall. Condensing dryer of course.
It lasted 13 years before catching fire ....... Al |
