I love my Bendix - it's just a shame its spin speed is only 520 rpm and it needs new bearings too. I've found a video of what seems to be a similar model:

It's a Eudora Euronova/Babynova. Looking at the spin speed, your model looks like one of the more recent ones that have drum suspension. I've got a Bendix Super Compact (made by Eudora in the 80's) and I love it, it doesn’t have any suspension so its a bit wild when it's trying to balance the...

I’m not surprised if it could be one of the shock absorbers, given the number of suicide runs the machine has had. From what I've seen, I think the OOB sensor may be a bit duff as well. Sometimes the machine will take ages to balance a load, even though the drum turns evenly when distributing...

Haxisfan: At first it only do it on an out of balance spin but it now also does it on a full load regardless of how balanced it is. The suspension also feels very light, when loading the machine the drum has a lot give and will sometimes bounce slightly. I've been through this before with my...

@hoover1100 I know the dryers for the group are still made in the UK and would seem to be largely the same (excluding condensers). Mind you they could do what Candy did with Merthyr Tydfil and insist all parts are sourced from their suppliers in the continent etc. @paulinroyton: I quoted the...

Thats disgraceful - it's not acceptable to have a machine that makes any sort of abnormal noise. I bet you wold think twice about buying one of them again!

They have received my letter (I sent it by signed post). Hopefully they will get back soon. The machine has just had another nasty out of balance spin and has knocked out and broke one of the covers for where the transit bolts go. @hoover1100: What issues did you have with the dryer?

I suspect they were waiting for the machine's Labour warranty to expire so they can start charging £115 per callout before they would actually fix the issues. Looking at the drum, the outer rim looks skewed, so I wonder if the drum is out of profile, which could explain the drum noises etc.

An update, the engineer came and it was not on the notes to replace the machine if a fault was found! He replaced the heater as the seal had gone and the drum had rubbed against the side of the element. The drum still makes that nose and the suspension is still abnormally noisy. I've written a...

I'm not sure, but if they will only offer Hoover I'll ask for another brand and pay the difference.

My Machine is acting funny again, making what can be best described as rattling/flicking/spluttering sounds during the spin and the noisy drum is back! After complaining to Hoover-Candy and Currys, when the engineer comes on Thursday and finds any faults the machine is to be replaced...

I love that Hotpoint one, a bit of a blatant rip off though :-p I cam remember the short length "On and on and Ariston" ads in the 90's and the full length one is on Youtube as well:

Pic from my Hoover manual... It can take up to a 6KG load.

@nrones I guess Candy do innovate on some things, I quite like the look of the Trio (It would be ideal for our kitchen) but I wouldn’t buy anything made by Candy again :-(

Apparently the Chinese Zanussi‘s have a split tub, so I guess that makes them better then the native models in one respect. I believe that the new Bosch Logixx Washer Dryer is also made by Little Swan as well.

Found a Slimline example: http://www.hotpoint-ariston.it/ha/2/productsheet.do?productId=69008IT

I wash we had slim line Aqualtis models here - especially Washer Dryers!

It's a Hoover WDYNS 654D Slimline (44cm Deep) Washer Dryer.

I quite like the look of the Aqualits, they do seem to be much better built the rest of their range. I've got my eye on a Bosch WVD24520GB washer dryer - I'll see how long my patience lasts with the Hoover!

Aqualits models are not listed as being effected (see link below). But I know it's not much comfort - I'm still a bit nervous about being around my Hoover when it spins, especially with all of the rattling it makes...
