What a bargain, Adam, well done! I've considered upgrading our W562 but I'm waiting until it hits 10 years old.

people in Europe get along fine with smaller washers Absolutely true, but that's purely because we're used to them. Front loaders have always dominated our market, so it's not even thought of by the general consumer that any other type of washer would be better or worse. There's pro's & con's...

Oooh my childhood washer. Well, one of them anyway. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zanussi-Jetstream-1200-Washing-Machine-White-/182570062508?hash=item2a820612ac:g:ERIAAOSwH09ZFIlj

I've got some of those but I haven't used them yet. They don't come in a box though, they're in a bag.

I can't remember what it was. It was 1100rpm spin. The bearings were going in it when we met and it died completely after a few months.

Before & after pics.

I can do better than that...I have a photo of it. Give me 2 minutes to find it.

My partner had some sort of WF washer when I met him. It broke a few months after we got together and was replaced with a Beko, which was then sold when we moved in together and I brought the Miele with me.

It's only available to buy in Home Bargains

I don't like the current scent either Skip powder in France is Unilever's TOL brand and is the same formula as Persil Bio in the UK but with a different scent. It's much nicer - smells a bit like Persil Performance. It's in a blue box like our non-bio, but it is biological.

Hi Ben, We went completely eco on all cleaning products and cosmetics about 2 years ago. However, I've still been using Persil Bio powder as I hadn't found an eco alternative that washed and rinsed as well...until now. I'm currently using Ecover Bio liquid for darks and Splosh powder for...

It's on offer again at the moment Ben - £6 for 42 washes. I'm currently using it alongside Splosh biological powder which is fab! Paul, I agree about Ecover Laundry Bleach. It is essentially the same as all these oxy clean and vanish products, but it's cheaper, biodegradable and suitable for...

I haven't got a clue how it started. It's not just washing machines for me either, it spreads to vacuum cleaners too. My Mum tells me that as soon as I could walk, I was either pulling myself up to the washer door or pushing the vacuum around. And it just never went away really.

This is the styl of ADCO I remember

Here's the colour liquid. I haven't tried this one yet. It's the same as the bio but contains "Dye Transfer Inhibitor Polymer" to stop loose dye particles from transferring. Neither the bio or colour bio contain OBA's

Hi folks, Some of you might have seen already but Ecover have launched Bio and colour liquids (instead of just non bio). I've been wanting to test this for a while but only just got the chance. I've been using the non bio to wash black jeans as it has high surfactant count but no OBA's, so it...

laundry soap! Morrisons and Wilco's sell it in bars, it's fab stuff!

Hello and welcome to the group! I can't offer much advise in the way of repairing your current machine. As the other guys have said, it's not a proper Electrolux made machine. If you're looking to replace it, Miele are probably the best widely available machine's you can get these days and...

I love ACDO powder, I think it's a great detergent. It is non-bio but it's quite bleach heavy, I found it very good for hot, white washes. And being soap based, it uses far less artificial or synthetic ingredients than most mainstream detergents. I haven't bought it in a long while though, as...

Well Mike, I guess ultimately people just don't like change! As for Daz being the best powder, I beg to differ - I was never overly impressed with it's cleaning abilities. Sure, it's packed full of bleaching agents but only 1 enzyme and a lower concentration of surfactants than TOL Ariel &...
