I've the latest version of a toastermatic Sunbeam Australia re-released the toastermatic in 2001 as the TA4100. There are a couple of key differences to traditional, older toastermatics:   - they're filament only - bread slots go left to right rather than up and down - the bread is centred...

No, not at all.   If you don't take the pressure out of the line, all you have done is created 2 zones at the same pressure.   So, if your pressure is at 100lb and you turn the tap off, on the mains side of the tap it's 100lb....but because the hose to the washer was previously subject to...

There's little point turning off the taps if you don't take the pressure out of the hoses and off the inlet solenoids.   I don't do this with the Beko, but used to with my older Hoover front loader.   - turn taps off - turn programmer to next cycle that will take in hot/cold water (or cold...

May I tactfully suggest.... ....getting off your butt and getting them back together, saving between $2000 and $5000.

Whilst they are particularly expensive and actually don't rate in our consumer magazine tests, I'd suggest that the only machines that will give you size, RTI and reliability in the US market are likely to be Speed Queen.

The front loaders are made in China these days.   My mother has one of the Beko made machines...and they also used Bauknect/Whirlpool machines too.

...so how do they compare Well that's a good question. Choice have recently compared washing machines and a couple of the F&P machines were included.   I've chosen both machines as well as Miele W5873 and AEG L77480. Not exactly a fair comparison from a price perspective, but thought it would...

Any plumber should be able to sort it out for you....this would be routine work in the UK.

Every install I've seen (since 1953) is copper to copper That's really interesting as I reckon I'd be hard pressed to find a domestic dishwasher in this country that doesn't use an inlet hose.

Having owned an Electra 550, I can confirm that they're great machines.   Just about bullet proof....hot and cold connection, much better programming and even though it's only an 800rpm spin, it's more effective than many 1000rpm spins because it's nearly all at 800rpm long rather than slow...

I'm guessing 1967/8.   My parents house was finished in August 1968, with Frigidaire hotplates and oven...I'm fairly certain the stove is a Frigidaire custom deluxe...from that era...the tiles in the bathroom certainly are - Johnson Bros....my parents are the green version of the wall...

Before you get hysterical Just note the dates in the article.....2007-2010   I believe that BEKO have issued recalls for these appliances too.

Mike Be interested to know what you think of our OMO and Drive....   ....and is that a heat pump dryer?

Similarly Our Electrolux dishwasher recently stopped heating.   Turned out to be cracked solder on one of the parts of the control board. In our particular model (DX302), a known fault and someone had posted 'how to' instructions to save calling a service.   A small investment of $10 on a...

Beko Anyone who has been on here for the past 5 or so years will know my thoughts on Beko.   Basically, I predicted that once they incorporated the technology and quality that was inherent in Blomberg, which they bought in 2002, they would become very good....even desirable machines.  ...

The mixmaster junior will clean up in about 10 minutes I reckon.

Those little Hitachi made washers are almost bullet-proof with the only thing that seems to stop being the timer-advance in my experience.   When that happened to the one we had in my folks coast house, my mother treated it like a semi-automatic and moved the dial between the various functions.

A few tips and tricks to ensure your machine stays sweet-smelling   - If you prefer cooler wash temperatures, liquid detergent and fabric softener....then do a HOT wash (60c plus) at least every other week to properly clean the outer drum.   - Powder detergent is best. In this country at...
