Long wash times I would say are more caused by the push for ever larger machines. Look in the machines lined up in an appliance retailer, I've seen some models labelled 6, 7, 8 and even 9kg, all with pretty much exactly the same size drum! So how do you wash 9kg of clothes in a drum designed...

Well If the machine went into spin full of water it would cause unnecessary strain on the motor, also the machine would be inclined to become out of balance if the clothes were not evenly distributed around the drum prior to spinning. To prevent this the machine will rotate at a speed high...

Hi Tom How would the max rinse be selected then. I tried what you said and after pressing start 4 times the anti-crease/finish light came on but not much else! Matt

That is the only thing that puts me off Aldi and Lidl They are notorious for their poor treatment of employees, forcing staff to opt out of the European working time directive 48 hour max week and giving them 55hr a week contracts basic contracts with added overtime, ignoring the legally...

Supermarkets I don't dislike Tesco per se, but I do hate the way they have taken over in the last few years! We had no tesco anywhere near Durham until 2001 when they built a superstore, now we have at least 5 that I can think of, 2 on the same street! Bearing in mind what a small place Durham...

Mouldy Zanussi I rented a property with an FJS1425W jetsystem XC that looked just like that. I spied on a viewing that the previous tenants were using cheap non-bio liquid on the 30c quick wash and shutting the door after unloading (they were getting the washing out when we were viewing, thats...

Jammed my logic full of thick towels and kitchen linens this morning, 175ml of Persil bio powder (in soft water) clear final rinse and barely a hint of detergent scent left! All drying out on the line in the sun :) Only time I've experienced poor rinsing lately is when my Mother has a habit of...

Welcome Robert! I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but your thread has reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask for a while. My parent's have a W3204, I was wondering if anyone knew how to access the programming mode on this model? As for rinsing, set water plus to setting 4 and...

Absolutely beautiful brochures! Thanks so much for posting, I'd take any one of those machines, although I think i agree with you that the 535 would be my top choice! And I'll take a box of that Omomatic please... Matt

In all honesty I bet if you took the inner tub out of most of these people's old top loaders there would be all sorts of scum and a delightful tide mark around where the water level fills to. People don't care about their laundry and often don't know how to do it properly. Rather than accept...

Corrected! Uploaded from iphone and it showed up right way up, stupid phone! I too would love to see a twin tub with a drawer! Matt

Just bought this Some would call my detergent stash dull....I like to think of it as 'minimalist' Matt[this post was last edited: 7/18/2013-15:10]

In all honesty Do you feel the need to have your 'private parts' sanitised? OK, so I wash whites and towels at 60c with oxy bleach containing powder, but this is for optimal stain removal, whiteness and to prevent the musty damp odour that can build up on towels over time when washed at low...

I thought The 9506 was a matte plastic machine with just one button (economy wash). The one for sale looks like either one of the cross over 95-WM series or an actual WM series machine.

Love these Seem very similar to Irish Potato Farls available here. Delicious toasted with butter :-) Matt

Logic programming While the programming is a bit unconventional it only occurs on the 40 degree cycles. If you had the machine connected to hot and cold it would make no difference as the machine switches to cold fill only for the high level fill regardless. Just one of the quirks of these...

Liberatordeluxe Your rinses look about the same as mine too, I think as I said, you could carry out as many extra rinses as you want and you won't get then any clearer. I really wouldn't worry about it, I'd personally rather have a detergent that cleans really well and leaves a bit of froth in...

Have you ever washed by hand? If you have then you will know how difficult it is to remove the detergent from your hands afterwards. My understanding is that the foaming and cloudiness still left in the final rinse is zeolite residue. You could carry out hundreds of extra rinses and this...

Ariel, Persil, Almat Are all equally as good if you ask me, Persil is probably the cleanest rinsing. Just make sure you get the powdered bio formula whichever you go for. Personally yes I do find the recommended dose is necessary, for optimum stain removal I go for the heavy soil dose on...

Timer issues Exactly the same problems which caused my mum's hoover performa to die a death after just 3 years, dial would endlessly click round and round and the machine would stop mid cycle. Our neighbour had an early 2000s indesit...it couldn't even get grass stains out of jeans on a 60c...
