irishmark..... ....when you say new Whirlpool stuff, would you include the one pictured below? I'd heard these had premature bearing failure, but there's a few that seem to be lasting okay too - around 4-5 years, which isn't awful considering the price they cost new. Are Whirlpool washers...

Looks decent..... ....but then looks have never been where recent Hotpoints fall down. The drum looks like it's been photoshopped onto the picture, almost like there's no depth to it. It could still be like the finished article though. Not that i'll be buying one, regardless of what it looks...

Long Cycles I've heard critisisms of the long cycles on Whirlpools. Around 2.5 - 3 hours seems commonplace. I've also heard several running and they seem to whine loudly throughout the cycle, which would annoy me. However, they seem okay from a build perspective, to my non-technical eyes at...

Indesit Moon..... I thought when watching the video on Watchdog that alot of the mould build up must surely be down to the detergent compartment in the door getting sludged-up & then remaining damp for a prolonged period of time - the damp then causing mould growth. If the compartment was...

Woah there..... ....as James said, we're just warning you. Afterall, you did ask on your other thread what thoughts we had, including whether vented or condensor was best. This is gonna sound frank but if you'd already decided then why ask everyone. I can understand your Candy washer being...

What price is the Hotpoint? A tenner is about right.....

Meh... I dunno bout anyone else but i do love it when people are so grateful for others contributions to their questions that they feel the need not to even say thanks!

Vintage Machines.... I've not heard of an ASEA before, so i'll trust Matt's judgement on that one! What sort of age machine are you looking at getting? When i speak of old machines i usually refer to 80's ones, but some on here do have much older models. The main reason i stick with 80s...

glamwales...... ....is that a condensor or a vented? I've been reading the owners reviews on Comets website & many comment at the noise of the White Knight condensors, but less so with the vented ones. When you say worst of 3, is it your third White Knight dryer? Many people seem very...

Avoid Hotpoint Dryers I don't have much info on the very latest Hotpoint dryers, but pretty much any laundry equipment made by them since about 2002 has been very hit & miss. The link below shows a 2 year old Hotpoint Condensor on eBay for spares, and a quick hunt around on eBay always seems to...

Sky Digital Channel 972 Hey Just thought i'd mention that anyone with SkyDigital should be able to watch this program on Channel 972, as SkyDigital (or at least mine) allows viewing of all BBC Regions - i've got North West, Yorkshire, Wales, etc etc. Otherwise i guess it'll be on BBC iPlayer...

Infrared.... I think Miele use a similar idea on some of their machines. However i think it's more or less unheard of in other cheaper models like the Moon. The Moon has never appealed to me because of not being able to see the washing whilst the machine is on, but i do think a mouldy seal is...

AEG03 I suppose you could ask an engineer what sortof cost youre looking at to get the AEG in full order again, but i shouild imagine because the recirculation pump is also getting tired (i saw your youtube vids), then it probably isnt cost effective bearing in mind other parts that might fail...

AEG03 If it's not the suspension then i guess it must be the microprocessor beginning to pack-up. There seems to be more equivilent age Zanussi's on eBay for spares at present, and i've noticed a few of these are described as 'working intermitently' or pausing mid-cycle, which i suppose are...

For me.... On our Zanussi WDA 1055W i use: *Non Fast Coloureds 40c for Dark Coloureds/Jeans and (seperately) Bright Coloureds *Fast Coloureds 60c for Towels *Fast Coloureds 60c for Bedding, Underwear & Nightwear (PJs) On my Parents Zanussi Essential you can add Prewash to several programs, so...

Clothes Line's not Allowed! Blimey, we're told that in some flats in the UK we can't hang out laundry to dry, but never seen a blanket ban on them across a city before! That goes a long way to answering my question. Thanks :-)

reversomatic..... ...i was writing my response as you submitted yours hence we raise the same theory towards Candy settling claims. What interested me most was which manufacturers/appliances have been worst affected by the 13amp plug problem? Cheers. Liam

USA Dryers....... .....i never knew dryer fires had been a (fairly) common occurance in the USA. Why is it that the UK doesn't seem to suffer from this issue? Do USA dryers not have lint filters like ours in the UK, or is it purely down to tumble drying being more widely used in the USA than...

Avoiding the Bitching...... and getting slightly more on topic, the trouble i have with this is the lack of action. I don't have anything against Candy machines as such, they seem pretty interesting & innovative machines. It's gotta be said they don't have a shining reputation for quality & i...

Any Update? Hi Richard Did you decide on whether to go for the Indesit in the end? Im not a massive fan of Indesit's modern machines (though my Parents early 90's Indesit was very reliable) but i should think with only one person to wash for this modern machine should last relatively well...
