Thats the way to do it Well done Rob and Paul and well done Darren...........great projects, I would not care if I had nothing in the house as long as I had the washing machine room sorted I would be happy.......... Good lucks lads :-) Gary

flooring sorry Darren, what was I thinking saying chipboard! that wont last once damp gets into it, yes marine ply or shuttering ply would take the weather so to speak and weight. Gary

Floors Hello Darren I am not a structural engineer but how firm/strong is the floor, I wonder because the loads placed on it from a washing machine spinning might be too great. I think I would look to putting flooring grade chip board etc, to help spread the load. This came about because our...

Sanctuary Well done on getting your home and and of course a sort of second home for your machines. Having had a garage it was sanctuary to me, I loved it. You have plenty of room for whatever ;-).......I would think about some sort of heating in there, in the winter I would empty the sumps on...

The hidden bits Hello Steve yes the top up is a good feature, the 1300 had this aswell, I think in time the suds will drop more and more as the old crud in there gets washed out, I only use about 60ml of powder on towels and barely a sud in sight. There are two things you can do to improve...

Seals Hello Steve This is a common occurrence because of the build up of crud, you can try rubbing it back with your finger on the inside of the backplate, but personally I do find a small line of silicon sealant applied in the gap on the seal does help you don't have to smother it, once the...

Hello Mike Gotta Noo Motah Hello Mike The 1100s used a standard Hoover 1100 motor, where as the 1300 used a more or less standard logic motor only with a built in "snubber" basically a spark killer to stop any arcing from the brushes disrupting the power supply and hence the computer circuitry...

Beauty is more than skin deep These are very well thought out and sophisticated machines, a lot of the sophisticared design is not obvious, it has 3 wash actions and 3 wash speeds, all the rinses are shorter than those machines with mechanical timers, the spin balance on the final spin works...

Aching Heart I wish you all the best in getting this wonderful and interesting washer. Gary
