@tom I hope you enjoy it when you get it. I think my machine is made in Span, its side panels are the same as the Bosch WAA range made be Balay. Is there any definitive way of finding out? @dj-gabriele Apart from the Bosch equivalent models, I don't think any other BSH machines have metal...

Hi Tom,   I should of added the touch buttons to the bad list. The ones under the display can have a mid of their own, and not register a touch or cycle through the options as if you have pressed them multiple times! The touch controls were a bad point made by Which was well. Apparently other...

Good points so far: <ul> <li>It weights a tonne, so it doesn't move around.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The detergent draw removes all traces of detergent 99% of the time.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The suspension seems very good, it is quiet and the drum doesn't bounce around like what the Hoover did.</li>...

Last pic of the drum, with metal paddles. The outer drum is also stainless steel.

Here is a pic of the facia, I was washing some Bathmats on the standard cotton programme with Intensive Wash selected. The display shows the number of rinses at the top left of the display, progress bar in the middle, with the wash symbol displayed above, and the recommended load size displayed...

Hello, I've finially got around to taking a few pics of our Siemens Washer Dryer that replaced the Hoover:

I don't think their dryers are made in Germany, looking through last years Siemens brochure, none of the dryers have "Made in Germany" on their facias.

@tom: I did make some videos but my Internet connection keeps aborting :-( I'll do some pics when I tidy the kitchen up!

Apparently Siemens machines will have more metal components, higher rated motors etc. in them then the equivalent Bosch models. However, apart from the Fascia, Door and programme options my Siemens IQ300 Washer Dryer seems to be more or less the same as the Bosch Exxcel model.

According to the Intellectual Property Office the trademark is now owned by Heley International Limited - they are a residual wholesaler according to their website. http://www.ipo.gov.uk/domestic?domesticnum=2545679

They used to foam up in our Tabletop Matsui, but it would die down at the end of the wash cycle.

Persil powder, got one Bio and one Colour 100 wash boxes from Costco so they will be hanging around for a while!

On the Hoover I had, you could change the temp of the A59 wash. The only caveat was that the recommended load was 3kg.

@fl1012 About Merthyr: One criticism there was with Candy was that all components for the machines made there were sourced from ether Italy or Spain, rather then from local suppliers, potentially adding extra cost. We have a Nissan car factory near us and they use the Just In Time principle for...

Siemens We got our Hoover exchanged for a Siemens WD12D523GB washer dryer and while most of it seems pretty well put together, the worktop is loose. The other day, I had a look in John Lewis and most, if not all of the Siemens machines had a loose worktop while the Bosch examples didnt , very...

@nrones The Baby Belling is a small tabletop cooker with 2 hob elements and a small oven. Most of the examples I can remember were mounted on a moveable stand so they could be moved to each classroom as required. http://www.belling.co.uk/baby-belling/baby-belling-321r/

I can remember my First School had a grey Hoovermatic twin tub, in Middle School they had late 80's Brown/White Hotpoint that was replaced with a Candy around 2000/2001 when the School was refurbished. I can't remember what they had at High School. All 3 schools I went to had at least one Baby...

I had a sticky enter key on my model M keyboard, probably caused by me accidently washing off the grease that coated the metal spokes. The grease can dry out as well, which could be what’s causing the issue with your keyboard.

A while ago I was looking on a Chinese wholesale website and they had a vast array of Washers and Washer Dryers that had in the description "Machine uses Italian Merloni Technology"!

The water where I live is borderline soft/medium. I don't use Calgon as soap powder (well Ariel and Persil at least) already has the anti limescale agents in it.
