If only I had the room!

WDI9091 This was the fully integrated washcraft washer-dryer which my Auntie bought in 1987. One of my all time faves. Here is a picture of me with it in 1991. Week after getting back from Menorca!

I thought because of the heat pump it would run a bit cooler. It seems to run a bit cooler anyway! Ive not noticed any shrinking compared to the Zanussi though. Not washed bedding yet, managed to get to the washing line today before my neighbours got it! Put on the cool air cycle to fluff it...

I've not dried sheets yet so I was a bit worried! It does have the new filter system. I was surprised at how much less lint there than in the old one! Must be much gentler and clothes feel softer. Also caught the self clean part and it sounded pretty cool. It sounds like the water has some...

Chris74 I knew the dryer had uni directional tumble when i bought it. It said it had 'revolution' drying. I hope it works and doesn't tangle up stuff! How do you find it? I've not noticed anything yet. David

Thanks guys! The dryer was delivered with the dryness set at the lowest level. I would have changed it down anyways. The Zanussi said to turn the level down for our soft water! I figured it would be the same idea since Germany has some pretty hard water! I just should have stuck to my guns and...

I just had this dryer delivered this afternoon to replace my Zanussi condenser. There was nothing wrong with the dryer but I just wanted a heat pump machine since It would make me feel less guilty about tumbling most of my clothes! The machine feels much sturdier than the Zanussi and it also...

When I was a little boy there was a new generation hotpoint across the road. The owner's had a brochure of the range and i'm positive it had a washer dryer in it. There was only the one and it was pictured with an almond and a white model in keeping with the range. Can't remember anything else...

The dishwasher in reply 35 is a 7821. Just a newer 7820 with out the kick panel. We had one from 1988/89 till 2002. Was a great dishwasher! Bit noisy but it cleaned everything. We would just scrape off the big stuff and let it do its thing. Its the reason why I have a Bosch dishwasher today! the...

On our 1993 omega the hand wash button reduces the woollens cycle to 25 degrees and gives a gentler wash action. I'm guessing it was pretty much the same. We had the ecosense button as well. It would reduce water intake on most cycles. It would top up 10 times or so for the initial fill so I...

Well, after an unfortunate accident when I slipped while opening the flap for my machines filter I snapped off the catch for it. I was googling the flap straight away and having absolutely no luck finding it. Next day I phoned customer services and explained what I had done. The chap told me...

We had a 9934 washer dryer that had the same problem. Rob, that is something to think about! Our machine died a few years later. It kept tripping the electrics so it was not unreasonable to assume thats what broke the valve. I know of another machine that happened to. Another washer dryer. I...

We had a DWF34, left it in the old house when we moved! Replaced a 7829 (I think!) dishwasher. Both were great machines. David

I feel old, i was only 4 when we got the machine! Now i'm 26 haha David.

Yeah, it was a low energy model. It does look brand new, except some stripping damage. It was the worst machine we'd ever had! I would never dream of buying it and using it as my main machine. It was highly unreliable. The pump went on it while it was under guarantee. Still, would like for the...

If I had the money, i'd buy it! Its my childhood washer. Bet the cold water valve failed in it at some point. Ours only lasted 5 years :-( Bought an indesit afterwards dec 1994 and it was still going last year when my folks moved. Ripped clothes though, but it was the first machine i'd seen...

Rich, I think thats probably how it done it, however I always think it went from a standing start straight into spin. It done a fair few spins anyway. It could have been a problem but I don't know. My gran likes things to match and she bought the electrolux machine with the matching dishwasher...

My Granny had a Philco washing machine and my uncle had the matching dryer. The Washing machine pulse span, although I don't know if it was just the machine was broken or not! It got replaced by an Electrolux machine in 1988. Last saw the dryer in 2000, might still be around but my uncle died...

I do love these machines! Always liked how the 800rpm spin was always quieter than the 400rpm spin. I do think the Zanussi versions looked better though! David

I was pondering this the other day. I suppose I can seek solace in that if anyone would dare put me on that show, they would save the washing machine and the rest of the appliances I bought! Or else!!! David
