    Amway Sa8 Liquid

    I've not tried Seventh Generation yet. I couldn't compare any of the Eco detergents to the current Ariel range as I haven't bought P&G products for several years.

    Amway Sa8 Liquid

    Ecozone Is one of the few Eco detergents I didn't try on my 14 month trial of Eco detergents , I just didn't like the smell in the bottle. I think the concentrated version is slightly better. The bonus of the Seventh Generation liquid is its biological. Ecover now has a bio colour care liquid...

    Miele W1/T1 stack finally built!

    Congratulations On your new set. I bought the WKB120 in January and love it. I didn't want the dosing system although I can see the benefits for some people. I did have a W1613 which lasted for seven years. After that I had a Zanussi Lindo ( ridiculously long wash times, quite noisy) and...

    Amway Sa8 Liquid

    Liberatordeluxe Not sure if you'd be interested but Tesco have just got the new Method liquid in. It's different to the 4x concentrate available in the States and Australia as it's 39 washes per bottle instead of 66 and the ingredients are a little different as it's made in the EU. They also...

    Amway Sa8 Liquid

    I wouldn't buy anything from Amway. The DeVos are outspokenly ant-gay.

    New Whirlpool "Smart" COMBO at CES

    Combo52 it's pretty much a European combo on a pedestal although we do have combos with smaller capacities. The Splendie compact combos you get in the US are pretty much the size of a lot of European two in one machines.

    Goodbye Hotpoint Smart 9KG

    Beko are overly optimistic with their KG ratings I'm afraid. The 8kg machines have a 55 litre drum, 9kg have 64 litre drums as does the older style 10kg machine. The newer style 10kg have 65 litre drums and the 11 and 12 kg machines both have a 72 litre drum. Even these measurements aren't a...

    Goodbye Hotpoint Smart 9KG

    Just checked the Beko website again and I'm not sure if the model you ordered will have a jet. The 10, 11 and 12 kg WY's have jets but the site says the WJ 8kg machine has jets. I'm not sure if this is a typo, Beko can be inaccurate with their specifications. Either way, I'm sure you'll be happy...

    Goodbye Hotpoint Smart 9KG

    Good choice going with the Beko and being a WY model it will have the twin recirculation jets. You'll notice that the Beko feels a bit more substantial than the Hotpoint. I only used the Cottons Eco cycle on my Beko a couple of times as the rinsing was very poor and you couldn't add an extra...

    1967 Dutch catalogue

    Wow The Siemens sounds like a fun machine! I always thought the Turnamat was the best of both worlds. The convenience of an automatic with the fast spin of a twin tub. It's really interesting to see the variety of machines available in the Netherlands in 1967, compared to the machines of the...

    1967 Dutch catalogue

    Thanks For posting these Louis. I like the Zanker with the top controls. Do the twin tub looking machines operate in the same way as the AEG Turnamat or are they more like twin tubs we had in the UK?

    Miele WKB120

    There's no soak option on my machine but there is the ability to extend the prewash time .to 31, 34 or 37 minutes. There is an add laundry function but it's only selectable for the first ten minutes or so of the programme.it is slightly annoying that if you want to select a different cycle the...

    Miele WKB120

    I forgot to post a link to the instruction book, it gives you a good idea what the machine can do and explains the settings menu. http://https//www.miele.co.uk/pmedia/ZGA/TX2070/10518380-000-00_10518380-00.pdf

    Miele WKB120

    Laundress Aw, was a nice message to wake up to! Thank you! To answer your question, the plastic parts don't feel as substantial as older models, the detergent draw doesn't feel quite as robust but it's still better than other manufacturers machines. As for the rest of the machine I can't see...

    Miele WKB120

    The machine should've cost £1099 from Very but I got a discount. John Lewis are selling them for £899 just now I think. Henene4, The load recognition seems to be more advanced, yes. However, if using the short option a small load's wash time will only drop a little. I have the "degree of...

    Miele WKB120

    After much deliberation and two years of owning washing machines I wasn't completely happy with I bought myself a new Miele. It arrived on the 9th November so I've had a few days to try out the cycles. I have to say, it's an amazing machine. Very quiet, washes and rinses brilliantly, I've not...
