I remember the advert for the hotpoint washer-dryer although I swore the clothes got out the machine and hung themselves up! Lots of childhood memories there. Thanks for posting! David

I use the Blue Bold powder for whites and lights. Blue Bold liquid for darks and cold water washing. Woolite for delicates and Summer Breeze lenor fabric conditioner. Same as ever really!

I would really like to see the dryer. I'm very happy with my Zanussi condenser dryer so when the time comes to upgrade i'll be having a swatch at them! David

My uncle had the Philco version of the dryer. Remember it was really quiet! Always liked the fact that the timer ticked away like a kitchen timer. Along with the mid 80s philips washing machine and AEG DishwasherI loved going there! David

Hehe, its for my mother in law or else i wouldn't be on here since i'd be ordering an AEG heat pump dryer or the Miele one finances permitting. Going to take a chance on the Beko. Will at least show her the error of her ways if it turns out to be a pile of rubbish. I was trying to steer her to...

I have a midrange Zanussi condenser dryer, which i paid £200 for but its £300 now to 189 for the Beko or I would have made her go for that. Theres a Candy similarly priced and she does love her Hoover Vision washing machine. I think it looks pretty flimsy. Thanks for the advice guys!

My mother in law is thinking about purchasing this dryer. Wondering what people think about it. I've not heard that much about Beko dryers so really don't know. Hotpoint/ Indesit dryers are out since the ones i have heard have been very noisy. Searching online seems to give mix of places that...

My Miele W3922WPS will keep slowing the spin down until it gets to 400rpm. If it cannot get above 400rpm it will stop, sit there for 5 minutes and then try again. Regardless of whether or not it spins again it will add an extra rinse and tell me to check the detergent when its done. The extra...

Mine is the UK Bendix washer and driers produced in the 1980s. Heres a picture i pinched from an earlier thread

Could the machine be made by Cylinda/ Asko? The control panel and inspection pocket look very similar to the older machines. I found a video of a very simialr top loader. Some girls think its funny hehe. I cant make the name on the control panel but the videos Sweedish! David

Thats the washing machine equivalent of the WDi9091, my Aunties old washing machine! Good to see it. David

Your probably right about the date, my Granparents bought their machine in 1988. They had the 1000rpm matching washing machine. Hated the smoked plastic but it sure did look handsome! David

Lovely!! My Granparents had a full size Electrolux dishwasher from around the same time. It was so quiet and well buit! I always thought the machine was ahead of its time! If i'm on the checkouts in work i'll dissuade people from buying dishwasher salt since we don't have hard water! I used...

Cool! My friend had that homark dishwasher. It was pretty cool, they had theirs under the kitchen sink. Was pretty quiet although you had pull cupboard door open a bit while it was running. It was bought 1991- 1992 and was still going 2 years ago. David

We had a Hotpoint 9934 washer dryer that done a very similar spin cycle. instead of stopping and going straight back into distribution it would do a tumble then go straight into it. It done the snatching thing too! Brings back some memories! in the final spin after the second burst it would...

Wokring great now! Thanks! David

Another mac user here! I'm using Mac os 10.6 and the current Safari. I thought I was going crazy when the lights would reset itself whenever I turned off my computer! Nice to see so may folk use macs though! Thanks Robert for all the hard work you do. David

What about trying some dishwasher detergernt? Might be a better idea for breaking down food?

I bought a Zanussi sensor condenser dryer 3 years ago and it been flawless. Strange thing is that I have to dry my towels on 'Slightly Damp' or else it gets over dry. Clothes get done on 'Store Dry' and there fine! No problems with moisture from it, although the first couple of cycles the...

We never really thought about LA. I would like to go and see it but San Francisco was what we wanted to do. We are hiring a car so i guess we can see what happens. I'll be defiantly be checking out the Winchester House! You have all given us lots of ideas for things to go and do. Thanks guys...
