eBay Hi Darren, That's good news, I hope it sells for you soon and everything goes smoothly. Good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing the Bosch. David

Heating in UK Front Loaders Hi David liberator1509, Your post is spot on and I enjoyed reading it. I just want to add something as an Engineer (Now retired due to ill health). I can assure you that 99% of Front loaders sold in the UK do heat to the selected water temperature. There is an...

Extremely Soft Water Hi Mark, Low suds well relatively speaking LOL! I have extremely soft water here in County Down and a trick I have learned over the years is to add a spoonful of grated Fairy Household Soap to loads I know will suds a lot e.g. Towels. The soap actually suppresses the suds...

Ariston Single Tub Hi Louis, I have not seen that exact model before but it seems almost identical to a Colston Single Tub which uses the same wash tub with bottom mounted pulsator as the Rolls Rapide Twin Tubs. It is basically the Single Tub version of the Colston Concorde Twin Tub but badged...

Ariel Handwash Hi jt1985, Yes it can be used on colours but it does contain Oxygen Bleach and could cause some fading over time. Its only called Handwash now because Twin Tubs and Top Loaders are almost non existent now in the UK. Originally in the UK our low suds detergents used to be labeled...

UK Detergents Hi Peter, The new Persil formula is a real disappointment in terms of stain removal and odor removal, the new scent "Just washed feeling" makes me itch and sneeze constantly. Which? Magazine in the UK has consistently found Ariel in all formats (Powder, Liquid & Tablets) to be the...

eBay Hi Darren, I can understand the second chance offer guy being wary, however if you have good feedback and explain the situation with the auction winner he should understand. If you have re listed the Hotpoint with "Buy it Now" I'm sure it will sell especially with the current financial...

New Lenor Infusions Touch Effects Hi Sajid, Yes the "Burst of Sunshine" is indeed the same Tropical Fresh Lenor scent. I personally never liked Lenor Tropical Fresh or Lenor Summer Breeze for that matter as they are too sweet and floral for my taste, I don't find them unpleasant but they would...

New Lenor Infusions Touch Effects Hi Folks, I am so happy oh so happy! Yes indeed the 80's and 90's Lenor scents have indeed returned, my local Asda finally got them in and I had a good sniff! I bought 4 bottles each of the "Breath of Fresh Air" and the "Barefoot In The Grass" the "Burst of...

eBay Hi Darren, Wow that sold quick and a good price too. I hope you get everything sorted, remember that the buyer agrees to the terms laid out in your listing so don't let anyone muck you about. Good luck. David

Sorry to hear of your loss. Hi Paul, I am so sorry to read of your loss. My Mother almost lost her life to a burst appendix, I only just got her to hospital on time! She was very ill for a few weeks but thank God she came alright but I have a fair idea what you must have gone through with your...

UK Detergents Hi jt1985, In the the UK Ariel and Persil are the top sellers and considered top of the line detergents. Surf and Daz are lower end detergents, Surf in particular is loaded with overpowering cheap smelling scents. My personal favorite is Ariel, I have always found it to be a...

Lidl Hi Stefan, Not surprising really but worth trying. Thank you for your effort. David

Vintage Bold 3 Hi David & Nick, Yes indeed I have noticed a distinct undertone of Bold 3 in the current Bold 2in1 Apple Blossom & Lime Zest Powder and Tablets too. It is especially noticeable coming from my machines in particular my Miele W3985WPS as it nears 95°C. The other Bold variants don't...

Hi Stefan, Thanks for doing that for the group, I hope they are forthcoming with some information. I look forward to Lidl's response. David

New Jet Hi Darren, That's good news, the older yellow jet worked very well producing a fan like spray of water. If the blue jet is the same or similar design it should work very well and resolve the issue of the jet running down the door glass. David

Bosch WFF-2000 Hi Darren, That's great news indeed! They were first released in 1995 if memory serves me correctly, 1000RPM Spin BBB rated for energy. My friend Professor Smith has one which is still running perfectly. They are reliable, reasonably quiet machines with good rinsing and short...

Hi Darren, As long as your Hotpoint is running well I would say your better off keeping it. They are not bad machines and don't forget your five year parts guarantee if something serious does go amiss with it. You could buy something more vintage and have nothing but problems with it. The...

Electrolux Insight EWN14991W Hi Darren, I actually liked the Insight, it was a very well made machine in particular the main bearings were huge and should prove very robust and reliable. It was a good washer but not so good at rinsing, but in its defense I have extremely soft water here which...

Wavy Paddles Hi Darren, Yes indeed the wavy paddles did shower very well, in fact they done the majority of the soaking as the pathetic jet just ran down the door glass, across the door seal, through the drain holes and back into the outer tub. I did not notice the new jet, what has changed? I...
