i owe some apologies.... I apologise if my post was offensive. I had a bit o a rough day which didn't help. I must have skimmed through the thread pretty quick so i guess my post was way off the mark. I referenced hoover as it was once linked to maytag and maytag is now with whirlpool. I have...

what a lovely machine!! And Similar to our first one!!! In tip top condition, however I've never heard of this happing in these models.

Hi guys I saw this advert of the launch of Hotpoint Aquarius, made in 1992. However I'm curious as to how it actually worked, as the footage of the machine showed water coming out like a jet, but I don't think I've ever seen it wash like this with every Hotpoint I've seen, could anyone tell me...

defo go for a miele... I believe they do last for 15-20 years if cared for properly of course. The downside to that is you will get bored, or change taste during that time. Many Miele machines that are on eBay are there due to a kitchen refit, or a house move. And sorry, but I hate LG with a...

KEEP HOOVER AND CANDY OUT!!!!!!! NRONES! why oh why oh why does Candy and Hoover come into a totally non-Hoover thread. Keep them out of this thread!! This is about Whirlpool...one of my favourite brands. actually optima, there are still some machines with metal paddles, like the built in...

... Looks OK, but I don't like that drum, I only hope it is screwed down than welded. I wonder how the Ultimas look!

... I meant low water levels instead of low water temperatures twice!

... I think it's due to the silliness of low wash temperatures, low water temperatures, and these gels and concentrates that has caused a surge in mould in machines. I reckon that if the owners of Indesit moons used a 40-60 degree wash instead of 30, used powder instead of gel, and ran a...

... In terms of ranking when it comes to washing machines, I place Whirlpool above Hotpoint and Zanussi, and just below Bosch and Siemens. Of course Indesit, Haier and the million other brands it comes under come last in my book.

@dj-gabriele Thanks, I know that Candy acquired Hoover in 1995 due to that free flights fiasco, it was in that BBC programme "Red Letter Days" which was talked about on the forum a couple of weeks ago. That's why I thought that the Whirlpool drum looked like Hoover's ecologic/new wave, as it...

... I'd defo go for a Whirpool over the stuff Haier, Indesit and Candy put out, at least they still have screwed drums. My Whirlpool, which also has the same drum as the others above, has its metal paddles as opposed to plastic ones. I like this drum, it for some reason reminds me of the old...

We have a whirpool and its quite good! Its the built in model of the same time period, it balances well, and washes OK. Compared to exploding washers by certain manufacturers, I'd say to buy Whirpool as a budget machine, although I love their new Aquasteam range with matching tumble dryers, I...

I see this thread has been resurrected... I was looking at the comments to this article, I just LOVE this one!!! "I save so much on my machine, it takes 8lb and is electronic with electric drive [LG]. I fill it up with clothes, then put a chicken or even a turkey in a boil in the bag in the...

... I can understand Indesit appearing on Watchdog, but for the wrong reason! I expected the BBC to get wind of the exploding washer issue on Hotpoint/Indesit and put in a full report on this. But then the Moon is a really shoddy washing machine, so I can see it on Watchdog.

I know nothing about KIC But it must be related to Crosslee if the dryer is called 'sensordry.' Try this site http://www.crosslee.co.uk/english/whiteknight/index.html

I have one too!!! It's the ultimate no frills dryer! I think it's got a D energy rating, however we tend to cram most of the load in it as we leave jeans and jumpers out, I think it takes around 2.3kw, which is less than most full size dryers. I can never get drying times right, as I've often...

Aquamatic 2 Paul mentioned an Aquamatic 2...it's amazing what you find on Google these days!

really... I initally thought that it was Daily Mail, reporting on non news articles, then other places like The Sun, Mirror and Express reported on this thing. Personally, I don't believe in rapid cycles at all, I just use the 30 degrees synthetics to get a good but quick wash. I think anyone...

Oh god no! Drum reminds me of a hoover!!! Door reminds me of a HEC machine!

A 95842 The owner of the above WM36 also has this vintage beauty, which also matches a certain Microtronic which is the talk of the threads at the moment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hotpoint-Reversomatic-Tumble-Dryer-/220690449802?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Washing_Machines_Dryers&hash=item33622d058a
