Nearly forgot... I shot the last maintenance cycle in the Candy before putting it away and a quick cycle in my replacement dishwasher... if you care to watch it, I included a link to it below :-)

Rolls_rapide don't tar everyone with the same brush! Before having a go at Rolls_rapide... I just wanted to congratulate with the author of this brilliant video! I have't used a BSH dishwasher myself, but I remember my friend's enthusiasm for one of these some time ago, however, they are not...

My favourite brand ;-) I couldn't resist getting a new dishwasher from this group today to replace my nearly 10 year old Candy Acquaviva (still working but making a whirring noise - maybe the motor's bearings are wearing out). Having analised my situation carefully, I decided to invest in a...

Dodgy DWs were out there years ago too! I share the age of my diswasher with you! I quickly wanted to say that dodgy machines were around some time ago too. I bought an Indesit back in 2000 which lasted me only 3 years... and I wasn't even using it everyday because I was on my own. I then...

@ DJ-gabriele That's it... you said it... they don't sell them and I might add they don't advertise them either. In my comment above I was referring to Joe public rather than to the few scattered centres in major Italian cities. I'll tell a lie, I've actually seen an online store selling...

Beware of the Zanussi Fiasco then! They might as well make some of the Zanussi appliances in Italy for the EU market but most Italians hardly know the brand Zanussi! I can already imagine the dialogue between a potential winner and some of the local folks: TICKET WINNER: you know... thanks to...

@ aeg03 M8y in all honesty I wouldn't personally put up with that. If you're saying that it's been doing that since day 1, it means to me only 1 thing: the appliance is not fit for the purpose: it should clean laundry at best... rather than causing alien blemishes on it! This is maybe due to...

@ aeg03 I was wondering... when did it start happening? If you can recall when you first experienced this scenario and probably associate that particular period of time with something else that you might have been starting to do or some new product you started to use. On the lines of what...

Sorry lavamat_jon! Bingo!! You're a mind reader man... thanks for clarifying that for me!! As for the time remaining, my Hoover has got a good alibi, cos' it's time countdown display is only an indicative gathering of LEDs and the shortest time it tells me is when the machine is 15 minutes...

Fantastic! I love the design of that washer... and the icing on the cake: a nice silver finish! I got such a cosy feeling inside reading about your experience with my favourite brand... maybe I ought to print this article out and frame it :-P I find it astonishing that you've managed to...

@ dj-gabriele (...a family of 4 can generate from 15 to 24 k It's not necessarily that! There are only 2 of us in my house and our washer is on everyday plus 4/5 times during the weekend. Do not assume that everytime the washer is started is going at its full capacity... that's why in the...

I beg not to differ... SeamusUK... that's not always the case. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to go for a cheap/popular brand and still get the benefits you mentioned above... my Hoover is the living example! It had above average use throughout its life and I've enjoyed 8 years repair...

My landlady's Bendix! After leaving home, the first washing machine I laid hands was an oldish Candy front loader (perhaps from early 90'), I can't remember the model's name, but I recall the funny mechanical 550/1100rpm spin it had... you could just switch it off during the slow spin and when...

Whoops... I was so engrossed into swimming that... Hey Neptunebob... I should get some advise from Ryan Loche then :-D Also thanks for making me lough... I'm just coming back from work and I often found my facial mussles rather relaxed at this stage :-P Glenfieldmathk1 don't believe a word...

Thanx again peeps! Glenfieldmathk1 cheers for that info on how steam works on different machines, I thought it was normal to have a separate steam generator... now I know how it is! As for machine sizes, I know what you mean, even Nextra has the automatic variable load from 1 to 6kg, but my...

Hey... hullo! Neptunebob... yeah... perhaps a portable suzy homemaker would be nice... possibly battery operated so I can keep it in the boot of my car (where would I get the water from though... the radiator? Perhaps not!). Dyson2drums... that 1 seems ideal, at least it's not 9 or 10 kgs...

Hi back... Looked at the Bosch WAE28368GB and the Smegs... they're both 7kg and they have a very quick cycle for refreshing those ultra small loads. No steam option on there either. They're quite elegant and very classic looking... I'm more inspired by a modern looking machine like Whirpool...

Hey thanks guys! I don't understand why we can't get a 6kg with the steam option... eerrrr :-P HotpointFan, I've looked at the Hotties and the Whirpools and they seem to do their steam model with 9kg drums or larger. The Candy EVO has got no steam but the quick 14' cycle would come handy for...

Hi peeps... I've been pondering over getting a washing machine with the steam option and I would like to share my thoughts with you in view of some nice advice ;-) The reason why I came to this decision is because I and my partner have recently upgraded our membership to the local sports club...

@ dj-gabriele (all the top loading washers have the drum con Not all X-axis top loaders have bearings either sides... Mieles don't. I made that mistake myself some time back and 1 of you guys put me right ;-)
