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.

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.

Why a top loader? Just curious.

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" 😆

I second kleen maid / speed queen - great product. Washes stuff real good

Kleen Maid /speed queen

it's expensive but will last 10 years where other brands last 3-5
