    15kg LG washer launched in Germany

    flipping the coin When I joined this club 7 years ago I was very dubvious of LG and thought that there machines were rubbish. Well say what you want the machine that I despised (my mothers) has just made it to its 8th birthday. Its had one repair in 8 years and those were the bearings. They...

    So you think you're washing at 60 degrees?

    Dex, The candy machine in question fell a full 8'c below the next competitor. Not 1 or 2. p.s this is a forum and if you dont like me posting my opinions, comments, and findings then il advise you not to talk back. Change the subject to suit yourself all you like. Just dont expect any...

    So you think you're washing at 60 degrees?

    Dex I guess we will never know what cycle Which? tested on the Candy machines but one thing is for sure if they DID select 60'c and as H-Axisfan mentions is very clear on the display had they have chosen 40'c then the pathetic result of 43'c at the hottest point of the cycle is absolutely...

    So you think you're washing at 60 degrees?

    Quote from your good self.... "I own the Hoover DYN8163D8P and I tested the temperature myself. There are two cycles that are supposed to wash at 60 degrees. The standard 60 degrees cycle defaults at a temperature of 40 degrees, but this can be visually seen on the display... the user might...

    So you think you're washing at 60 degrees?

    And we ALL know like the manufacturers also know, consumers DONT read instruction manuals or consult lcd displays like WE would. They know that most people load, push and go - manufacturers are the ones who do the research and make up these special daily programmes for consumers. Candy have...

    Servis 308S ran again!, then didnt!

    The Servis machines dont have springs at the top, just a seatbelt type material strap to stop the drum fro rocking back and forth-nosupport whatsoever. The suspension takes all the weight. VTG Machines with suspension at the bottom usually rest on it. (Funnily the British makes mostly) VTG...

    Servis 308S ran again!, then didnt!

    There is evry reason why they WONT work despite being the same design, size, etc etc Even if they feel the same at being springy dont be tempted to use them unless they absolutely are the same specification. Remember..... Servis has amuch heavier tub weight being made of enamelled metal...

    So you think you're washing at 60 degrees?

    Interesting to see what does and what didn't great properly. No surprise candy was crap on that aspect. Have probed temps on our Bosch and thankfully out does what it days on the tin when not using eco perfect. All other washes do as they say

    super silent vacuum cleaners

    The Alpina was far from silent - have you ever used one? Anyone who owns one knows the brochure was just marketing rubbish. It was quiet compared to the crap Dyson were then (and now) churning out but not much else.

    Random Musings On The LavaTherm Dryer

    4 sheets? or 3 sheets? Launderess Im not surprised they are balling up if your only drying just sheets. One needs to get out the mindset that sheets are washed on one load towels in another clothing in yet another etc. Im quite sure the washer manual states to mix large items with small and...

    For the readers in Italy

    Have to differ on that MrX. Daz seems to have overtaken Bold as a MOL detergent here, Bold in the ~UK is now BOL. Ariel is the best in all round stain, odour, fabric care functions it seems but Daz is not far off its cleaning rival. Bold OTOH is very poor at cleaning, whiteness, stain...

    Detergent Thread

    Persil The Original - Non Bio I think its wording is misleading to suggest Persil had the first non bio but when you look at the way it was phrased on the packets I think it simply means, Persil The Original, (as in original (regular) Persil formulation with no enzymes).... (that happens to...

    Performance was the name applied to all Bio variants liquid, powder, compact, tablets. :)

    Detergent Thread

    Power was replaced at the time when Persil Performance came in and although the dosage on that was reduced although they did run a Persil 'Compact' for a while I have the storage tins which that was sold in. Remeber the Persil packets on the Hotpoint WMseries brochures....... Persil compact...

    Detergent Thread

    I see why the WIKI extract is wrong. The writer seems to forget the fact that Persil came in 2 strengths at that time. Power - compact TOL concentrated with superior stan removal aimed at those who wanted everything a powder could offer and the best results etc . Automatic - big box regular...

    Detergent Thread

    Persil power WAS NOT a booster. The WIKI extract is woefully misleading. Persil Power was a detergent in its own right and replaced micro system in the new products war against P&G. It was on the market for quite a while, much longer than 6 months. My mum used it quite a fair bit and I cant...

    Hotpoint 1852 repair question

    Either the pulleys come off or the bearings have gone. Maybe even a broken spider at worst. The machine is perfectly repairable so dont let any repair guy tell you otherwise. A one man repairman company could easily do a broken spider job this and it shouldnt cost much more than £100 if he...
