Check out Appliances Online - I’ve had good results from them and they take away the old machine for recycling. Next day delivery. Yes they have top loaders small and large and you can sort for that on their website. My current top loader came from there and has been good for 4 plus years.

I’ve bought from AA before - both my fridge and freezer are from there - but hoping for a local bricks and mortar if possible

Not sure what they’re like new now, so forgive if this isn’t real helpful, but I’ve got a 10 year old Fisher and Paykel 6kg top loader that’s still chugging along fine touches wood. My washer has to go in a tight spot which doesn’t allow for a front opening door. I also have knee issues which override any pleasure obtainable from watching a front loading “laundry telly” 😆

it’s expensive but will last 10 years where other brands last 3-5
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
sure thing. You wanna give me three grand?

I got one 30 years ago, $1400, my MIL uses it now and it works well
a good long term investment
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
yeah that does exactly nothing about the fact I don’t have three thousand dollars to drop on a washing machine right now. jfc

It’s not the 1990s anymore, those machines go for three to five thousand dollars now.

Why a top loader? Just curious.
Taleya@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
knee and back issues, and also up against a big fat wall of Autism that says NO NO NO I DO NOT LIKE HOW THEY FEEL COMING OUT OF FRONT LOADER.
We do offset the damage by directing the runoff into the garden, and also filtration and storage.

Fair enough

I got my fridge, washing machine, and dryer from Kids off the Kerb in Thomastown, like over 10 years ago. The washing machine only died last year or the year before, still have the fridge and it works great, and I donated the dryer back to them when I moved and didn’t have room.
They don’t seem to have an online store, but I think if you give them a call they could help? Idk I hate making calls so totally understand if you wouldn’t want to do that, they’re just local (as in Melbourne based) and a charity.
