I miss u! Hey Darren, yeah I know how you feel after I sold my New Wave. I miss my Servis Quartz and my Hoover vision mk1 also but we move on don't we. Well at the end of the day you've had the experience of it and there are after all plenty of washers out there to play with so don't get to...

Hottie Darren i'm glad its getting sorted and hope u don't have to keep it too long. I went into that 2nd Hand shop the other week in Lincoln. Interesting mix in there. Must keep my eye out. Hope u get sumthing tough if you do change the Hottie to cope with all the baby stuff! I've got myself...

press It wasn't a press article it was customers letters section to the editor there was a few exchanges about poor appliances and service. It was either the Independant or Times as I read both. One woman complained about Her collection of Siemans appliances that included dishwasher two ovens...

Regionality It may be regional. My local Currys in Skegness has a whole line of Hoover machines even the dishwashers which seem fairly rare then Hotties and Indesits, a stand alone Beko display with huge point of sale banners then a big display of new Samsungs. the odd Miele and Zanussi and no...

long wait Been some bad press on Miele and also Siemens cropping up in the newspaper of recent weeks about breakdowns within first year and long waits for service. Not good. Hope its sorted soon Carl but looks like your in for a wait for the parts from Germany. Steve

timeless The AEG is back on. Now then 7 years old they say hmm so it was made in about 2001! erm now then which time warp were they in when they thought that? I'd like to be 7 years old too but again i'm pushing the reality a bit lol Steve...

How often do you ramp the speed up and down on this machine when its running?

Zap! I don't think there is a problem with the motor on these machines it can quite comfortably handle the 8KGs and i've sold a few of these now they have been trouble free. The fault must lie somewhere else to keep burning it out. Are u sure your electric supplys ok Richard lol you've dun in a...

Hoover packing Yeah installing a Hoover Candy machine was always a bit of a pain because of that panel you have to tip the machine on its side and fit it with the sticky bits they supply, also pull out the polystyrene blocks inside the machine. No good if ur not fit and cant tip a machine over...

Ariston I was just thinking the same thing lol. I know an old lady who has that exact machine still in her kitchen. It looks very retro now but in excellent condition. She doesn't use it any more though. Perhaps she should give it to me lol. Steve

not again Richard you really should stay away from washing machines lol Steve

Zerowatt Very good. I remember when Zerowatt was introduced in the UK I think around 1982. Currys advertised them on tv and they were here for a little while with a range of washers and dryers. Not seen any on ebay turn up yet but they were nice design machines a bit different. Steve

up and down Dyson2drums -Messing with spin speeds is something i did when young too. I used to love our Indesits variable speed dial from 300 -100. i used to take it up and down during the spin it was fab. I always wanted to try it on my mates Hotpoint with the variable speed slider but alas...
