What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?

When I was only 3 years old, in '97, I used to sit in front of Mum and Dad's old Ariston Margherita washer-dryer and be absolutely MESMERIZED by the way it spun all the clothes round in all that lovely, soapy water. It had the most AMAZING fast spin and lasted up to early 2001. Then we got an Indesit washer, which was slightly more modern and lasted right up to 2007! Amazing. Nan and Grandad had an Electra, which also had a really cool spin and Grandma and Grandad had a Hotpoint Aquarius.

What is the history of appliances you have owned?

Mum and Dad previously owned an Ariston Margherita washer-dryer, an Indesit washer (as already stated) a Hotpoint Aquarius wml540g washing machine (I think) a Beko 7kg washer, a Beko 9kg washer and now a Hotpoint 8kg washer.
