Hi Gary Just to let you know my name is Mark not Michael...lol Mark xx

Hi Simon. Thanks The 3060 won't get used "all the time". The washing is split between the 3060 and 2 other vintage machines and a twin tub. This way all the machines will get some use to keep them going as I don't like to leave a machine sitting doing nothing for long periods of time as it...

Hey Rob...Don't be envious..You have some crackers of machines so im the envious one! Thanks for your comments. I do hope it lasts a long time also. I forgot to say I also put a new pump on it as it still had the original one! I didn't replace it with a modern italian one though, I had a new...

Mr Dyson forgot to say thanks for the well done. I must admit id been putting it off for so long because I was worried I would bugger it up completly. But I guess we don't learn unless we try these things. Mark x

Hi Mr Dyson It was a Haier 1400 spin in Silver. As a washing machine it was good and seemed to be quite well built. It was just the usual thing with modern machines...Wash times long and the bloody out of balance spin thing. A few times it just wouldn't spin and end with "Unballanced" showing...

Hi Steve. I haven't seen it yet but then again because I didn't know about it I haven't looked for it to "have a smell". I will have a look next time im in a supermarket as any new conditioner I always like to have a try! Mark

Those are beautiful! Lovely colour. I love aqua / turquoise and pink also (of course!). They are my favourite type of Maytag washer. Are these called Highlanders? Mark x

I had a 9530 when I lived in my flat in Luton. It was originally my sisters machine. her house came with appliances and it had a Hotpoint 9530 and a Hotpoint 17760 (I think) Dryer (Microtronic match). Anyway I gave her my Miele dryer to get the 17760 dryer and when the 9530 starting leaking she...

What on earth???? There is no way I would ever buy one. Makes me feel embaressed it was designed here in the UK! Give me water and more water!! Mark

Hi Mickey Thanks very much for your comments. I wanted to say in regards to your other post that your machines look great and wow what a location! What a place to live..fabulous!! Hey Paul. Like you I much prefer the silver fascias also. They look so much better. I don't mind the 14890 also...
