TED thoughts That's right Mike... I was a little disappointed to hear that TED is a separate device... I guess it would still come handy if someone was in doubt as to what kind of fabric makes up their garments (ie if the wash label has come off or it's unreadable). That's said, I'm overall...

Hoover Version of the Candy... Here's the Hoover version of the Candy seen above which will boast a new component called TED (Textile Expert Detector), namely a scanner that recognises the fabrics inserted in the drum.

Curious About the Candy Chestermikeuk what is Innovation 70... I mean why 70? There's not much info about that Candy... I only found an article so far which is all in Italian (link below). I guess all companies splash out with innovation on these kinds of exhibitions but really and truly all...

Occasionally... I do ;) Yes Qualin... I occasionally wash my trainers in the machine on a warm and ideally not too long cycle. Some machines have a specific cycle designed for shoes but I found it pointless in my experience (my mum's Indesit has got it) so I just use a standard cycle and I...

NordMende... trip down memory lane :) Nordmende was all of a rage in my family when I was very young... they were never into washing machines but TV sets. Most of my family members were in Switzerland at the time (in the 70s) but even later in Italy in the 80s and 90s the NordMende brand was...

Riple Idea I'm surprised to see that another brand had a go at this... I saw this design idea adopted by Candy-Hoover some time ago. Cool looking machine though... very clean lines. Below a link to the Candy-Hoover Levico prototype...

Thanks for sharing your video... Thank you AEG03... I just loaded your video, it's a nice little Beko you had there, it was a bit shaky as well as far I can see, but that was a basic model designed to get on with the job under ideal circumstances: these machines are programmed to deal with...

You might have answered your own question... All modern machines employ one method or another to dilute excessive suds... maybe the Hotpoint does it just during the main wash and that is deemed enough for whoever designed these machines. I had a Hotpoint too for a few weeks but it was driving...

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the rant! Yes Rob... the Hotpoint allowed for lots of wash combinations but it would still fail to cover all scenarios as yourself found you weren't able to use a short hot wash (I like them myself)! What made matters even worse was the fact that the machine...

Not meaning to burst your bubble... Hi Robliverpool, I can see that your new Hotpoint turned out to be a fiasco and I'm glad you realised in time to get rid of it: I recently tried one of them myself and I soon sent it packing... in a roundabout way for the same reasons you're giving in your...

And me again... Just realised the reason why Hoover/Candy machines don't rely on a direct link from the pressure switch to trigger the tub refill... this is perhaps due to the fact that the PCB needs to allow some time for the water to be absorbed by the clothes in order to calculate the type...

Hello again :) Hi Gizmo... I'm glad you solved that... I hope the owners decide to replace the heater... cold washing might be ok when done sporadically... but it might not be advisable for continuous use in a modern front loader. I'm not sure why Hoover/Candy does not use that terminal in the...

Hi Gizmo As suggested I can confirm it's the heater or the NTC probe... these usually come together as a spare part but sometimes you can just get the NTC probe for a fiver. Good luck ;-)

Hoover Nextra hands down... Although I retired my Hoover Nextra just a few weeks ago... it's been the best washer I've used in my life thanks to its savoir-faire in all possible laundry situations, its reliability and long lasting despite the exasperate use over the last 11 years (in fact it's...

Emails sent... Hi... I've sent you a couple of emails... not sure you got them though. I can provide info on Hoover, Vestel and Zanussi if you're interested.
