I'm getting a condensor, as Andy correctly said, because of the practicalities of it - i won't be able to externally vent a vented dryer where i'm moving to and i don't want to have to keep a steady flow of ice in the freezer for a condensor box. If i had a choice i'd be saving my money & making...

Repairable Drums...... Hi Andy I was led to believe that Wuxi Little Swan (stupid name) had a link to Bosch, so it suprises me abit that Electrolux Group chose to use them for manufacturing one of its machines. The info i read could be incorrect ofcourse! I could never work out why the...

Thailand Made By Thailand made machines do you mean the ones like the ZWG1140M in the link below? I was worried when i saw these appear on sale but they seem to get very good customer ratings & i've seen no broken ones spring-up for sale yet either. They also appear more sturdily constructed...

I will! I'll post some pics once i get it home at the weekend. I'll be sure to switch it off as soon as that annoying beeping starts! The anti-crease sounds handy though :) I agree that the quality of the washers seems lower than the dryers, which is a shame as they're actually priced lower...

Bought! I've bought it, will collect at the weekend :) It's a shame about the timer not moving but this was the case with my late 1990s Zanussi vented Electronic Sensor dryer that i've recently sold (still have an early 80s Sensor one), so i'm kinda used to it. I'll just put it on & wait till...

Location Location Location...... Cheers for the prompt response guys. Yeah i hope it's all ok too, though the seller has 100% positive feedback with a high number of transactions & says it's in excellent condition so hopefully it'll be fine. Im just waiting to find out exactly in which part of...

Thanks! Once again, thanks Andy :) I'd heard about Whirlpool parts pricing. I like the styling of their products but 1 year warranty with a general feeling that they won't last much beyond that without needing bearings (washers) or heating element (dryers) plus extortianate parts pricing does...

Thank You! :D Thank you all! Glad to see that (possibly quite unusually) everyone has the same opinion on Zanussi vs White Knight Condensors. Mums old Zanussi-based Electrolux condensor is horrendously noisy & compared to that, the White Knight i heard was quiet, but i'm guessing the newer...

Condensor Boxes Hi Andy I do have one of the Condensor Boxes somewhere, which i was gonna use when i was living away from home before. Never used it though. Apparantly you can put ice in it which is meant to make it work quite effectively. I dunno though, i quite fancy the idea of buying a...

That's Good. Cheers Tom. None of that sounds disasterous, much the same as my Mum's older Electrolux Condensor which is based on/same as the older metal door Zanussi Condensors. Ours is in the garage & the water resevoir has frozen a couple of times too. It would be better if the resevoir was...

God! They're good prices, even if Zanussi have lessened the quality since the previous range - though i don't believe they're greatly different to the last models with the blue ring round the dial :-/ How have you found your condensor? I've just been offered a new job so am potentially moving...

Cheers Tom! In that case they're having a laugh regarding the condensor - you can get the basic Zanussi Condensor from John Lewis for £209 with 2 year warranty, and probably quite a few other condensors for less than the Montpellier one. The vented one isn't a terrible price but why risk an...

Don't Worry! Don't worry, i won't be buying one! I think it's been more a case of luck that my Gran's dishwasher has lasted as long as it has, rather than anything to do with the quality of it! If it was my money i'd probably have to grin & bear the top rack design & go for a Zanussi, or if i...

How Much? How much are they, Optima? It doesn't show prices to me, presumably because i don't have a log-in. I think if you want a super cheap dryer you can do alot worse than White Knight. Im sure their quality has been dumbed down in recent years in-line with most makes of appliance, but the...

Thanks Andy So it seems basic Hoover/Candy dishwashers are infact Midea, rather than Matsui/Essentials being Hoover/Candy?!! The Hoover machine i'm referring to which looks similar (around the base of the cabinet at least) to the Matsui my Gran has is in the link below. The Kenwood one that...

Interesting..... Just discovered the page linked below that seems to think White Knight's 2012 washer offerings are made by Vestel. Seems odd because some of the info on the UK White Goods site is abit out of date for various manufacturers but the White Knight section has new info, including...

While we're on the subject...... Hi guys Been reading this with interest as i'd also spotted some unfamilar names appearing on Comet's website. Shame that the White Knight washers look to be made by a poor company, as i suspect some loyal White Knight dryer customers may try these. If they...

Might be alright..... Hey Paul Good luck with the new dryer :) I've noticed a few of the Hotpoint equivilent's kicking about with drum allignment problems but i too have seen that the reviews seem to be more positive for the Indesit versions than for the Hotpoint ones. Maybe because they're...

Not worth keeping..... It's unlikely the landlord would want to faff about with it by the sound of it, but in any case I don't reckon that Hotpoint's worth keeping. It's not exactly rare, there's still a decent amount kicking about on eBay & probably alot more still being used, so it's not like...

Keep the Old'un! That black one's a Hoover Optima, the more basic brother to the Vision HD. Im curious to see one in action but i'd keep another machine as a back-up if i had one, seems to be a few knackered ones on eBay whenever i look - 40c programs running at 60c, rinse program just...
