Harley Water here is treated - disinfected etc prior to distribution to ensure it is safe to drink, just as it is in most of the western world   As an indicator of how good our water is, if the safe level of a given chemical is, say, 50mg/l....our guidelines stipulate that there should be no...

Launderess - HELP! Folks, thanks for the ideas, but let me clarify a few things.....   - the machine is 7 years old - the door boot is spotless - the detergent drawer is spotless - the door is NEVER closed unless the machine is washing - at least one load a week is washed at 60c - always...

Here we go folks, one for the brains trust.....   I've been battling with laundry that dries, either naturally or mechanically, that eventually ends up with a distinct 'sour' smell - think a cross between mould and 'wet dog'. This can occur over a very short time, such as happened last night...

I have no idea if these are belt driven or direct drive....if you can see a belt from the motor to the agitator, then you'll have your answer....   ...and I say that just in case the belt is slipping in one direction. Make sure it's not.

Fantastic!

Steve Did you cold, warm or hot wash?   Was it a medium or full load?   If you were using cold water, it'd be interesting to see how it went on a warm cycle.

It would appear that there is less freedom to choose ...in the land of the free right now. I can't tell you how pleased I am that our government has taken a completely different approach to water efficiency. Yes, mandated labeling of appliances for water and energy efficiency is here, but...

Kenneth Grange, who restyled and refined an older design. A very good friend of ours has a couple of the earlier, rounded Kenwood Chefs and I have to tell you, they are are indestructible. One of his pictures, not one of his mixers.

Kitchen Aid in Oz is expensive Well, in comparison to the US, that is. A basic KSM150 retails for $749-799...though I have seen them as low as $679. Noting that our dollar is almost level with the USD @ USD96c:$1AUD and that Australia and the US have a free trade agreement, so there are no...

When did not knowing how to take care of yourself become ...normal? Very good question. I can only put it down to late baby boomer and early Gen X parents failing to instill values in their children, constantly doing things for them rather than teaching them how to do it themselves and always...

When it all boils down to it... ....only you can choose. If there is somewhere that you can buy from that gives a 'no questions asked' money back guarantee, that may be an option. If I remember correctly, the truly delightful Kelly used to be a test chef for KitchenAid and for everything...

Personally I wouldn't bother spending the extra money on the Kenwood Chef Major....all you're really buying is bowl capacity. A standard Kenwood Chef's bowl is only 200ml smaller than the Kitchen Aids and they mix pretty much identically. Choice tested bench-top mixers in August and found the...

Fantastic! ...and you even have T-Shirts!!!

Never, ever underestimate a manufacturer and their ability to change, particularly the Chinese. Beko weren't the best of quality and then they bought Blomberg..... Maytag was renowned for good quality, and then look what happened to them.... You can add Hoover, Hotpoint (though apparently...

Peter The current F&P front load machines are Haier...they may well have been designed by F&P, but they are made in China and sold as Haier everywhere else. The original F&P machines were a Beko AND a Bauknecht....The Bauknecht ones had issues and were discontinued with Beko machines...

Matty ...are you wearing a leopard print onesie in that rinse video :)

It all depends on the actual 'Quick Wash' ...and how it's programmed. In my opinion, my Zanussi based machine is a good example of an effective quick cycle, partly because it's not a dedicated, separate cycle....rather it is selectable on every cycle except 'wool'. As an example, to select...

Welcome Cody There's certainly lots on here to keep anyone remotely interested in washing and appliances in general happy....I'm sure you could read for months! And then there are the seemingly endless debates about products, preferences and 'how-to'.... All the opinions will come tumbling out...

Average loads Launderess, I think you'll find that average loads are even smaller than that. Our consumer magazine, Choice, asked consumers to fill either a top load or front load machine with clothes until they thought it full. When choice weighed the washing, the average was about half the...

I'd be buying it right now and asking if they'll hold onto it until you move!
