Defo take it. Front loaders are not that common here and they are quieter, use less water and less likely to eat your socks!

Mumfords

Thanks worzel we will be taking it, but i think whatever washing machine you have they tend to eat socks:curse: i wish they would eat them in pairs instead of leaving an odd one Thanks again for your reply

I have been in Oz for 6 months and a week and my family (4 of us) have accumulated 14 odd socks as counted after the last wash....

Where the hell are they???

AND I have a front-loader........

I Get round this problem by only buying black socks and i am the only one in the family who wears socks i still loose them but never have any odd ones

well I bought over my Aeg washing machine with me and how glad am I after seeing the cost of purchasing a similar one over here. I made sure it was cold fill only because some daft twit in the family said something about them only being cold fill in Australia but it doesn't matter in the laundry room there is both a cold and hot attatchment for it.
I really don't like top loaders they seem to twist and rip things to bits, not to mention the inability to actually clean anything.

We have a Miele washing machine that is only a year old. Everyone has advised to take it with us when we go so we will be I think.

This is my pile of odd socks , maybe if someone has similier colors we could do a swopsies ?

Bring it with you for sure, we have those machines so you will be able to get spare parts if necessary.

I think that is the only downside to bringing a washing machine over here, the spare parts issue

why

my view on washing machine.....WHY?.........
my view on odd socks......
they travel through a portal in space......
back to their own planet..
odd socks are aliens...
they live off toe jam and take our DNA back to their planet to clone us!!!!!!

Is that where all the forks are too then
when we moved out of house 3 weeks ago we where down to 4 forks (we had about 20 knifes though) I was convinced when we cleared my teenage sons bedroom they would be there BUT no
No forks or odd socks found anywhere !!! very very bizarre more confusing than the meaning of life

Hi there we brought our hotpoint over 2 yrs ago just be mindful you cant get spare parts for hotpoint in Oz we need a part and had to get my family to send it from the UK.

realy,.? isn't it funny the different experiences we have..as i had a front loader..and a lot of people i know do too..they are preffered over the top loader..as they use less water.....however in saying all that i dont' know how popular they are in the UK..maybe that is the norm over there....
