Here's my brief review on the 8000 series washing machine. Tumble dryer review to follow.

I wouldn't buy a washer dryer of any make, but this Miele is free, so I'm not going to lose anything by accepting it. I may put my back out getting it into the car though. My Mum is having it anyway, so I think the best thng to do is keep her old Bosch Maxx in the garage for a few weeks and see...

Hello, I have the chance of inheriting a Miele WT 2670 washer drier and was wondering if it was worth having. It's in full working order and has not had heavy use, but I have a perfectly decent Bosch. I may just keep the Miele as a spare until my Bosch breaks down or keep it for when my Mum's...

I think it was earlier than that. Someone on my Facebook page suggested 1992 which seems right to me, though I don't know for sure. I looked at The Design Museum's website and it doesn't list the Hoover exhibition in its archives.

Hello, I have just uncovered some old photos taken at the Hoover In Britain exhibition in The Design Museum London and thought I would share the dishwasher and washing machine pics with you. The quality isn't great, but I have managed to zoom in a few pics to give you a closer view of the...

Hello, I have just uploaded a video of my Mum's Hoover Computer Logic dryer to my Youtube channel if anyone's interested. I will be following that with her Bosch Maxx at some point and then a demo of my current Bosch washing machine. Hope you enjoy it. Roger (ibaisaic)...

No, she had a Computer Controll 1100, followed by a New Wave Plus 5.

Just a quick update about my Bosch. I fitted a new socket and now the machine is plugged into it directly with no extension lead. Since then, the machine has not repeated any of the problems it was having, so I think it must have had something to do with the arcing in the plug affecting the...

I like MK stuff and always bought Mk plugs for my vacuum cleaners before they came with fitted plugs. I will be plugging the washer back in with its existing moulded on plug and not using an extension lead, so hopefully I won't have a repeat of this problem, in fact this is the first time I...

Mike, I think the arcing was probably due to the plug not being correctly located in the socket as Al suggested as all the wires were firmly screwed in to the plug terminals. We will only be doing 40 degree washes until the washer is plugged directly back into the new socket, though I have a...

Yes, there is a double socket above the washer over the worktop which is where I will plug the machine in using an extension lead as a temporary measure.

Hello Al, The Belkin cable was from the extension lead that the washer was plugged into. I have checked the socket end of the extension lead and the fitted plug on the Bosch and they are both fine. The problem is just in the socket and plug. I removed the socket to check the cable that...

I have been having problems with my Bosch Exxcel 8 recently, mainly the machine going into pause mode and flashing NO, even when nobody is near the controls. Today I was doing a load and noticed a horrible electrical burning smell in the kitchen which seemed to be coming from the washer. After...

The start button is sometimes activated accidentally when the machine is on, for example if one was to brush against it for example, but recently it has been going into pause mode when nobody is in the kitchen and it has to be restarted by pressing the button again. Anyway, I decided to try the...

Well I am currently doing a rinse and spin in it and all seems fine, but my partner tells me it was making a horendous noise when he had it on the easy care programme and the display was flashing no.
