Hi Paul Congratulations on your new purchase! Unlike some other machines, I've never stopped loving my Miele Premier. They are just so well designed and you really feel like you have a quality product. I also like the sound they make as they are very smooth. I definately want one of the top of...

Hi all Did anyone notice the machine this is standing on? Rob

Hi Will Glad you sorted the problem out and that I was unable to help. Would have written sooner but have been in France. Take care Rob

Happy Birthday, Matt and Darren. I hope you both had a great time! Rob

Now an Indesit from the early 80s.

I love the chrome door Hottie's here is my nan's.

Oh Mike I am soooo envious! What a lovely machine. I'm so pleased one of these have survived. If you get a chance to take anymore pics (especially the drum) or indeed a video that would be great! However, I know how time consuming it can be, so no worries if you can't! I hope you are well and I...

And finally, similar to the classic Indesit L series.

How could we forget the Liberator. Does anyone know when Hotpoint dropped the Chrome doors? Was it around 85? Sorry have posted so many times but it is a classic!

Next, a lovely Bosch/Siemens. I would have loved to have seen one of these!

Hi all Haven't done one of these for a while. Throughout my childhood Chrome and Square doors were the norm! I loved them both. Here is a dedication to these lovely machines. Firstly an early 80s Hoover round Chrome door.

Hi Paul / Bjorn I think we are all desperate for one of these LOL! At the very least pics and perhaps a vid would be great one day. My Nan's best friend next door neighbour had the square door above. It used to really take off on spin and would do lots of short bursts. We used to drink tea in...

Hi Bjorn Thanks for the offer! If you ever see an early chrome door or heavens above a square door Creda I would be more than happy. These are pretty rare though! Also depends where you are based. Take care Rob

Hi Darren, hope you are well, will get to speak to you sometime. Remember the AEG 2200 I had? Well that was taken when I got the Aqualtis. After ordering I discovered the plug was dead not the machine but was too quick to replace it. I regret it now but it was actually quite a fun machine. I...

Hi there Bjorn Lovely machines you have there, thanks for sharing. I assume it's the other Rob who wanted the S118 as I have the later version. It really does look nice though. I hope Paul and Rob can have it! All the best Rob PS here is the advert for a similar Zanni. I take it the S118 was...

Hi Zanussi Lover Thanks for your very kind message! Mine won't get a huge amount of use so I hope it goes on for many years to come. Thanks for the note on the powder as well! One final note is that I tried the Easy Iron option and Extra rinse option (not together) on the rinse only cycle. The...

Hi Nick (and Paul) I'm sure the Bosch will be fine. The Zanussi has a few things I would change about it! 1, it beeps at the end of the wash and rinse hold?? Rinse hold is supposed to be left?? Also, although it fills quietly the pump could be a little quieter. I noticed the pump does go on and...

Hi Keven Thanks for your comments. I think what really affected machines in the early 90s was a) the recession and b) the new rated labels. The recession affected the build and cost. Machines were not cheap in the mid 90s and my Seeboard book confirms this! Also the build quality was lower and...

Hi Louis It just goes to show how luck can feature. Our ones were good and reliable. You will see from my writings, however, that the Miele 916 was awful, which you would never expect from Miele. Maybe it was made on a Friday night when they all wanted to get home in the factory LOL! Rob

Hi all My mother had 2 Bauknechts between 1989 - 1994 and 1994 - 1998. The first one was a 1000rpm model and it was so solid, it did not move a millimetre when spinning. In 1994 we moved house and I decided to by her a new washer (for me really LOL!). First I went for a Miele W916 top of the...
