    Reversing on modern White Knight dryers et al?

    The Hoover still does it but... The Hoover tumble dryer I got last year (2012 model) reverses at different intervals depending on the program selected. The relax cycle reverses every minute or something and the 'mixed and dry' cycle takes a long time before reversing in either direction. The...

    What is your actual daily driver for your clothes (washers from 1970 to today:

    Different kind of Hoover 4 me... but still very happy :-) My current daily drivers are also Hoovers... but not really Hoover... let's say, the 2nd generation. I owned my very first front loader when I moved into my own place back in 2000... that was an old Bendix (from late 80's) with only...

    Servis W814W washing machine

    Post crossing... Paulc... yeah... probably you didn't expect me to get back to you so quickly... I had dinner waiting and I was starving :-P Aegokocarat, what is the water consumption per cycle declared my the manufacturer for this model? Maybe you shall measure it yourself and be in for a...

    Servis W814W washing machine

    @paulc Thanks for the link. I swift-read it and there seem to be no mention of water consumption. I can well believe the new Hoover is A+++ rated... owing to a miserable 1500w heater to wash an 8kg load :-&#92

    Servis W814W washing machine

    Clear as mud... Paulc... I always thought exactly that, but I'm starting to doubt it since my latest machine uses potentially more water on the 'Cotton 60' cycle... especially when washing darks/bright coloureds. When I wash a load of whites/lights it uses less water but nowhere near the water...

    What is the overall reputation of Haier?

    "I don't own any Haier appliances" Same here... never owned any and perhaps never will! But I'm really scratching my head here as how can such an appliance manufacturer of apparently ill repute (I've also only heard negative remarks/comments about them) be the number 1 appliance producer on...

    Out with the sort of old, in with the somewhat less old

    Looks immaculate... Hi 'retropia'... it's such a shame your Kenmore bit the dust... I think it's a nice machine (I've only seen them on pictures) and yours still looks in pristine conditions (physically)! I still can't get over the fact that some folks say (justly... according to their own...

    Servis W814W washing machine

    "Interesting that an eco cycle uses a lot of water" I thought so 2... perhaps they don't account for water usage when assigning a score/letter for the energy label. My Hoover Dynamic uses bucket loads of water on almost every cycle and it's rated A+++ for energy use. The only way to make it...

    New Candy Aquamatic! +other changes

    You're welcome! Si... I meant don't take the manuals too seriously. It's been my experience for many years with Candy appliances and I've often found wrong information on their instruction booklets. A typical example, my Candy fridge-freezer, like most fridge-freezers, can be set from 1 to 6...

    New Candy Aquamatic! +other changes

    @ Newbravo I would take any Candy manual with a pinch of salt... you're bound to find mistakes on them! The '3 in 1' does exactly what you said above... it doesn't just disactivate the lights, it reduces/annul the operation of the correspondent devices. If you like and trust Candy products...

    John Lewis JLWM1204

    I guess external sizes are different 2... ... with the Zanussi being deeper! The John Lewis drum looks like the Flexi-dose machines... I'm sure you should be able to confirm this as you had one yourself. Same old story though... you cram more clothes in the smaller drum, hence same wash...

    this lady cracks me up!

    Very strong woman ;-) What puzzles me is why she keeps saying that the clothes on top are dry... is it just a figure of speech just because they're not submerged? Maybe a TL should really have loads of water to achieve some cleaning... but I can vouch for FLs as I've been using them all my...

    New miele washer and dryer

    Very nice... very Miele! That's about time for Miele to give their machines a facelift... as valid and functional as their previous models can be... they were sooo... old-fashion looking! These new machines still retain some classic characteristics (to my eye) in a perfect blend with modern...

    New Generation Servis Hydrodrive, June 2013....

    I'm good thanx, I trust u r 2 ;) Maybe those Indesit weren't exploding... not to my knowledge anyway. The one my aunt had stopped working because of a PCB failure and the engineer wrote it off (she's got an Ariston now but she doesn't know they're the same company LOL). As for the Servis...

    New Generation Servis Hydrodrive, June 2013....

    Hi Glenfield... I might've got the description wrong... but I knew what AquaCycle meant... the model featured in the picture he posted was a nightmare... I remember my aunt had 1 of them and with an average of 2-3 washes a week it only lasted 5 years... but the worst thing was the dodgy...

    Washer/Dryer Placement

    Thanx peeps! By looking at the pic a second time I realise now it's an LG... I can even make out the logo! I usually expect to see the flamboyant LGs with the chrome door and the flashy display... but this one isn't :-P

    New Generation Servis Hydrodrive, June 2013....

    That ice might not be as thin as you think... Apologies in advance for referring back to those few embittering comments made by some of the folks above but I feel I need to put my 2 pence in here: maybe because I love both countries in question and it hurts me seeing this kind of contrasting...

    Washer/Dryer Placement

    Love the wall mounted! That wall mounted washer is soooo neat!! It's got very few cycles though... but I guess they'd be enough for the occasional small load... surely this wouldn't be a daily driver! As for the washer in the first pic (the one with her bearings in mid-air), I guess one must...

    New Candy Aquamatic! +other changes

    I've got the sister of that machine featured in the link My Hoover Dynamic dishwasher has exactly the same bottom basket as that Candy up there (but those blue plastic bits on the sides) and I can honestly say that I've been truly amazed by its versatility and the amount of stuff I've been able...
