Hi Guys I came across this last night whilst at Tescos and of course having to go down the detergent isle. I have never seen it before and so just had to get it and will be giving it a try. As you know im not a fan of low temperature washes but because ive never seen it I have to give it a go...

Hi all. I have returned once more to my favourite internet site. As some of you will know in April I split with my partner and moved back down south. I have not been on as lots was going on and then I never got round to getting my pc connected up again. Well I am now back with my partner as we...

Oh FAB!!! I hope at some point it comes to the UK!! I love the bionic woman and also that other favourite of mine...The lady from Paradise Island......WONDER WOMAN!!! So camp..So gay...So Fabulous!! Mark

Hi Nick,Mike,David,Rob Thanks so much for your postings and messages of support.It meant a great deal and I really appreciate them. I am getting there and hopefully will be back on track soon. The machines will have to stored in my bedroom! But the 1509 I intend to have in the kitchen. Its...

I have now changed my profile as it still said Scotland and had the machines we joint owned. At least I still have the ever faithful vintage machines to make me smile and feel better. Mark x

Hi A lot as happened since I last posted and so I havn't been posting. Just before I was meant to go and get the machines my partner told me he was in love with someone else (a friend which made it worse) and wanted to split up. We split at the beginning of April and I moved back to my home...

Blimey Darren, They certainly have changed the Ariel formula! Mark

Just did the ultimate test...A full load of towels. Didn't fair so well but still much better than the Ariel and Bold. Im still a happy man. I didn't use conditioner as it was towels so I think if I had it would have been even better. Mark

Im so Happy! (Im easily pleased...lol). I didnt take a pic of the 3rd rinse because as you know the fabric conditioner will cut any suds down but the 3rd rinse was crystal clear. Thanks again to all for your advice. If more unilever powders/tablets comes up on offer next time I need some...

2nd RINSE Look how clear that water is!

FIRST SPIN Look - No suds cascading down the window! - YEY!

FIRST RINSE Amazing - A few suds and the water is already quite clear!

Hi All Hi Carl..nice to see you back! I know how hard the water is where u are as i was born and bread in Luton - Bedfordshire. The scale you get on everything is really bad.When I got my grans twin tub off her it took 2 bottles of calgon to get the scale off! Well last night I went to Makros...

Hi Kyle Thats dreadful that someone would do that. I have never thought twice about leaving laundry out on the line overnight even when our old house was in a less desirable area.I Never think it wont be there in the morning. Guess im to trusting of people. I forget there are people who will do...

Hi Rolls Have been meaning to say hello to another member that is in Scotland. Where in Scotland are you? Like you say 1 tablet of bold/ariel/daz would probably be ok but if im using tablets I tend to use 2. Haven't had tablets for a while. The last tablets I bought were Ariel Bio when they...

Thanks Nick! I am looking forward to trying them! I have not smelt the tropical surf yet. I don't want to be seen going up and down the detergent isle at tescos smelling all of them like some kind of detergent junkie...lol Hey Mike I think a lot of the problem is that we have very soft water...

Hi Guys Thank you so much for all your advice! There is an offer on in Makro cash and carry which starts today.Its for 144 Surf Tropical tablets. I will probably go for these as I like to get a bargain if I can.BUT I now know when Ariel comes up again I can use the fairy soap to kill the...

Hi That is the strangest wash action I have ever seen! I always thought just the thing (sorry have no idea if it is to be called an agitator or not) in the middle rotated and that was it. I was absolutely fascinated whilst watching it.Thanks for posting the pics and the vids.My curiosity has...

Hi all I am not far off finishing my box of Bold powder. I had Ariel before this. Now I have had a big problem with the Ariel and the Bold giving way too many suds and so the interim rinses and spins were full of suds.I haven't even been able to get a final rinse and spin without suds...

Paul Thanks very much for the info on the microtronics. I did own one in 1995 but I have a feeling it was the 18870 as im convinced the rinse hold button was orange on it but it may be a trick of my memory.Also I don't remember the logo and microtronic x2000 being where it is on the 18880. I...
