Hi fellow washing machines enthusiasts and happy new year.
Just sharing my modest website dedicated to French vintage washing machines statomatic.e-monsite.com/... especially Brandt and Vedette but I might add other brands in the future. During this new year I will upload more pictures & technical manuals. Cheers. Statomatic. CLICK HERE TO GO TO statomatic's LINK | ||

Welcome! Welcome here! Nice site! I'm quite familiar with some of the brands (sneaking around Auchan / Boulange as kid...). One thing I never figured out is why the small horizontal drum washers are so popular vs. the frontload (hublot) type. Wherever we went on vacation, there was 9/10 a slimline washer. | ||

Thanks, slim toploading machines are typically French, like cheese & wine :D
Also these are smaller than a frontload for the same capacity (real one, not the ridiculous race today's manufacturer's does), that made them popular especially in tiny flats. Brandt has only made two frontloader in the 60's, the Stato 62 and the Statomatic 72P. In the 2000's they had frontloader in the catalogs (BB60 series) but made in Turkey, now the brand is dead, they just resells Chinese made large capacity / short life with their name on it. Vedette has never made any frontloader, in the 2000's they added them to the catalog but made by Fagor (these were pretty good machines). | ||

This is an old thread of a Brandt / Kleenmaid of mine. I still have the washer, and a second one for spares. I will eventually make one good machine out of the two. They are a lovely little machine. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gizmo's LINK | ||

That's a very nice machine Gizmo, I didn't knew these were sold in Australia.
In France the Brandt from the "TX" series have the "BB40" chassis, between the "Statomatic" and the "Malice" (like yours). And the panel on yours is the same kind used in the Thomson Access machines, the Brandt from that era used different panels. | ||

French Website
And a Happy New Year to you Statomatic, love your website and collection of H-axis toploaders. Ive had a few Philips toploaders similar to the last one shown with top controls and window dials.
Look forward to see more !! Cheers, Mike | ||

Thanks for your messages.
@Mike, these Philips Slimstar are great machines, very stable during spin due to the progressive speed increase. The Hoover (A76 maybe ?) on the left is made by Thomson Esswein, the bearings are almost unbreakable on these. @warmsecondrinse, that's what I like with Quebec, they always keep the French language (sometimes a bit too much by the way ^^). As opposite to French who use several English words, sometimes for no reasons other than giving a cool factor (we call that "anglicisme"). Those who works in the offices uses a lot of "anglicisme" (usually they can't pronounce correctly or even make a complete sentence in English). And we don't have a lot of "souffleuse à neige" in France but we have "souffleuse à feuilles", anyway that would work with snow, I might try it tomorrow as it's snowing tonight. | ||

"Anglicisme" I'm VERY familiar with the concept in Polish and Spanish. Most of the time I don't even recognize them as English words. I just assume they're new vocabulary for me to learn, lol. | ||
