Thanks Very much for that suds. Those times seem very good actually, the same as my condenser, if not a bit faster?? I'd been reading times quoted on some reviews as 4+ hours to dry a load. If I can ask, which model do you have please?

I’ve been Wanting one for a while, but never bit the the bullet so to speak as the stories of hugely increased drying time put me off. I currently have a condenser (always have) and I like it, then only one problem is it heats up (my heavily insulated granted) house way way too much - to the...

I’ve got to admit,,, There have been times where I have been sceptical of them, there have been many reviews they’ve done I’ve really not agreed with (either a great review for a product I’ve owned and found rubbish, or vica versa). *And they probably used a dumbed down standard test powder...

8kg Which? verdict One to avoid The Ebac AWM86D2H is an interesting washing machine. It's designed and manufactured in the UK and unlike almost all machines available to buy right now, you can hook it up to your hot water supply. This means you can take advantage of water that's already been...

7kg Which? verdict Not good enough The Ebac AWM74D2H is an interesting washing machine that allows owners to use water straight from the hot water supply to wash clothes. The aim of this is to reduce the energy needed to heat the water once it's inside the machine, and you won't find many...

@Rolls Copied and pasted below the 2 Ebac reviews (sorry, there would have been too many screen shots - I have tried to make legible) and my memory is working :) - yes they were both “don’t buys” but not just DBs, but bad ones - scoring 35 and 39 percent. Even most Indesit and Hotpoints do...

Cant Wait to see your review (haven’t watched it yet). Want to see if it matches Which’s review - they absolutely trashed this machine in their review (IIRC it got a “don’t buy”).

Oh yes, the amount of unwanted detergent that I repurpose is incredible. Makes a change from its normal exit route (gift or trash) lol. It still bemuses me that Formil is considered the best biological detergent you can get in the U.K. and I do believe it- I’m still not sold on the smell...

Something.... To show you (I went in my stash cupboard) it’s with regards to P&Gs off the scale dosing. First pic is a Tide scoop from about 2 or 3 year ago. Second is a Tide scoop from this year. Third is side by side. Hmmm something tells me line 1 is a bigger dose on this years scoop...

@Ozzie Hi, I believe Persil, along with the rest of UL detergents have gone through a reformulation as @nick mentioned upthread and @Rolls and I have noticed their boxes are tiny now. I’ve not bought any for a while, but has the recommended dose been reduced? You’ll know more than me on...

Oh also What’s the fall out with Persil S+M @nickuk? Not that I will be likely to use (ha yeah right, can’t resist a reformulation), as finally after a long time of not being sure as I use that many different ones, I have decided that Persil makes me itch (not hives welts or anything serious...

How.... Have I never heard that? It's not for no reason that P+G has been referred to on these forums as `Profit and Gain'!! I like it :)

Would Dare say it involves money and trying to increase sales; by making consumers think they’re getting more cleaning power with a nice size bigger dose. But of course this is never usually true, your non caring laundry consumer is notorious for overdosing (thinking if that’s what’s...

Now You mention it, after thinking really hard, I would say my Samsung and the LG non TW before that, did make clothes a bit more bobbly than my current older Bosch which uses more water of course (it does also have metal paddles, but I honestly don’t know enough to say this would have an...

Yes Having been a long time user of Ariel (and by far my most bought detergent) Ariel has been giving these “dosing” guidelines for a while - “dose for your machine size” as they call it, and whatdoya know, it’s always far too much for us in soft water areas (they must only prescribe for the...

Here In the U.K,the only time we start getting actual mail through Royal Mail on Sundays (and it’s all and any mail, junk, bills, packages etc) is in the few weeks leading up to Christmas - so of course this includes lots Christmas cards etc. Rest of the year, nearly all couriers are now...

Thank you Askolover, that’s very kind of you. Will arrange sending you details, and you can let me know what cost is for the product and shipping :) Have long work hours at the moment, but will email ASAP. Thanks again

*P&G at one time used to test Tide for several different markets across the USA to account for water quality and so forth. Don't know if this still is true* Should be, I know Unilever (who of course are based in the U.K. at Port Sunlight) test theirs, they even test Australian OMO (Persil) in...

Yes.... I remeber, I did put my two pennies worth the in on the thread IIRC :) You’re right, it does make sense, they keep the brand (and of course some revenue it generates) but don’t have to worry about running the product. If fact, just today come across (and was very surprised by seeing)...

Quick Look on the web, they’re not a division of UL. But they are a sales, marketing and distribution company. They list all the PEARS toiletry products on their UK site. So looks like (to me anyway) that UL still have ownership of these selected brands, but outsourced the “running” of them...
