Hi Folks, The latest Which? Magazine arrived earlier today with the latest round of UK detergent tests. This time they seem to have tested just Persil Small & Mighty Liquids and Ariel Excel Gel at 30°C. The winner with a score of 75% was Ariel Excel Gel. Second place with a score of 60% goes to...

Kippers Hi Chuck, Perhaps that should have been bated breath. I'm rather fond of Kippers, George Devereau and Son Ltd. Superior Smoked Manx Kippers are my personal favorites. You cant beat Manx (Isle of Man) Kippers well at least in the UK. Mr. Ortega is conspicuous by his absence these days...

Still Waiting Dear Thomas, We are all still waiting with baited breath on your pictures. "Taps foot on floor" David

Congratulations Hi Darren, Congratulations on your wonderful new son, this Christmas is one you will never forget. I wish you all every happiness for Christmas and the coming year and years. David

Still Waiting Hello Thomas, Has your husband to be returned yet? I ask as we are all waiting to see a nice picture of you and Mr. Konrad together. Take care. David

A rarity for sure Hi Tom, Well I'm yet come across one. If you look at the wiring diagram for the FL511 you will see two circles near the bottom with the letter M in them, these circles denote the Motor. Terminal 1 is a common Neutral, 3&4 are Spin, 5&6 are Tumble so two speeds - Tumble and...

500 Spin Hi Tom, The wiring diagram you linked to definitely shows a two speed Motor setup, 800 and 1000 Spin models have a three speed Motor. I hope this helps. David

They build unreliable vehicles Hi Jed, They build unreliable vehicles alright! The most unreliable car (Read pile of crap) I have ever had the misfortune of owning was a GM Vauxhall Vectra. JD Power rated it 120 from 120 cars tested, a placing it wholly deserved. The Vectra cost me dearly as I...

Agitator Short Hi Jamie, The link I sent refers to Agitator Short but I am no expert on Speed Queens. If you call or e-mail the company they should be able to confirm things for you. David

Commercial Speed Queen Agitator Hi Jamie, Could this be the one you're looking for? I hope this helps. David http://www.pwslaundry.com/i-128085-agitator-short.html

Pressure Switch Hi Tom, I have just had a thought. I'm thinking your Zanussi has a three level pressure switch, if so it will have 6 adjustment screws on it. Have you noticed 3 water levels? if not the Pressure Switch actually could be at fault. Have a look and let us know as some of the later...

Zanussi Z9191T Hi Tom, Unfortunately I no longer have any service literature on your machine. The way to check if it has the newer Motor fitted is to look through the rear casing of the Motor, you should be able to clearly see the windings. In the new Motor you will see a black plastic...

Bosch Logixx 8 Hi mrx, Yes the Bosch Logixx 8 seems to be a very good machine and very quiet for a Universal Motor machine, but it lacks the refinement the Inverter Induction Motor delivers during spin. I like the quiet hum produced by the Bosch during tumbles, it kind of reminds me of the...

1000 Spin Zanussi Hi Nick, Indeed that was the reason for the warning on the timer, funny I had forgotten about that yet I remembered the Motor problem. Yes indeed the drum had a resistance when you turned it, this was due to the gearbox and centrifugal clutch on the pulley end of the Motor...

Zanussi Z9191T Hi Tom, Thank you for the videos. The Zanussi Z9191T was an excellent machine with an unusual Motor. The 3 speed Induction Motor not only has a centrifugal clutch but also a small gearbox. The gearbox is really only in use during tumble speed, Motor 900RPM Motor pulley 150RPM...

Suds Hi Darren, Goodness that's a lot of suds. Thankfully I have not experienced any suds issues with Ariel Excel Gel with either the Miele or Dyson's. Perhaps the higher water level of the Bosch along with the high wash rhythm whipped things into a froth. Remember Darren if you're washing a...

Poor Drivers Hi Jamie, I'm very sorry to hear of your accident. Unfortunately poor drivers are found in abundance the World over. By poor drivers I mean assholes that could not drive a nail into a Turnip if their life depended on it! The main thing is you and your passengers were not hurt. Yes...

Chad Miller Hello Chad, Please don't worry it's not you. The guy was called Chad Miller user name Exploder321 if memory serves me right. Chad was known for being frugal with the truth amongst other things. Take care. David

Hundreds & Thousands I believe are known as Sprinkles in the US. David http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprinkles

Impressive Results Hi Mark, Very impressive considering it was only half a tablet reached the wash load. The Aldi Tabs must be made by a different company if they don't have that Hundreds & Thousands look to them. The Lidl Formil Tabs with their Hundreds & Thousands particles look identical to...
