Merthyr i always love passing the Hoover factory in Merthyr. What a great place. Glad its still going strong albeit candyfied lol Steve

sainsurys meagpearls well those sainsburys megapearls brought us out in the most horrible skin rash i've seen from a washing powder. Nasty. I Liked the smell of it though but its consigned to the bin. I'm using Ecover new formula which is great and fully biodegradable non harming to fish etc...

LG water level Hmm that sounds interesting about a full load in the LG. I'm not sure thats correct, i've not seen one do that, they wash n rinse really well on full load normally. i'm guessing urs is a model with a weight sensor to weigh the load to work out water levels. Anyway as i've said on...

motors Thats very interesting about the motors failing on your Indesit. These machines have a pretty much universal motor called the Ceset fitted to them which is fitted to loads of brands of machines not just from the Indesit group. I guess they had a dodgy batch as armature failure is rare or...

LG brushless Hiya, well i've worked on 6 of these. I believe the motor speed is managed by the module altering the voltage from feedback it receives from the position of the rotor itself. I've never had to take the rotor apart on one but from diagrams of its parts there seems nothing that...

Indesit I've had a few indesits from the past 20 years and they were very robust. Recent years has seen very bad reliabilty from them with bearings failing and the dreaded timer round and round etc etc. i think we are seeing an improvement now and again as Chestermike says with the...

i've looked over this in Currys. it seems to be well put together and is very stylish with a huge drum. The powder dispenser feels a bit cheap and its the same one on the candy grando but its ok. The door is solid and it seems easy to load the machine with the angle of the drum etc. i'm...

I think Gorenje machines are quite good. I haven't read any bad reports about them and most of their stuff comes with 5 years parts and labour !! warranty. Can you imagine a Hotpoint with 5 years parts n labour. No! I like the designs but its one of the few machines i've never tested out so...

Thanks Darren, well its running well and it may be shipped off to Devon this weekend to be lent to our holiday home whilst the Indesit Omega there undergoes some major repairs. The New wave will be put into everyday use in the meantime and i'm replacing the door gasket in it this week so it...

Hey everyone. Theres an interesting story in the UK ecologist magazine this month about Comfort fabric softener causing all sorts of damage to humans and killing fish in the water system. Mainly headaches, dizziness, central nervous system damage, kidney damage and the list goes on.Though this...

twisting knobs Nice Miele Jon look forward to seeing it when i visit u, it looks lovely in the dark. Mattywashboy, i'm not sure your talking about the Miele there but i'd have to agree with you. lol Steve

Thank you fredriksam, I also have the full 1400 spin video to go on which i should do Saturday sometime plus i'll video the insides while its running so you can see the stainless steel tub and workings. I love the spin because it slows down before speeding up to full revs and its exceptionally...

Merloni 1 and 2 I don't consider Merloni Ariston Indesit appliances very good they have a terrible reputation in the Uk at the moment for breaking down. I've seen a fair few break in less than 18 months and hate trying to repair them because they go wrong again within no time. I prefer the...

yeah Adam you can trick the servis put it on handwash its the only program with water above the door, then put it to stop to reset it n move onto the program u want. Or just pour a few jugs in the dispenser lol Steve

Miele2888 The miele was a W820 which failed on cottons wash but did everything else no problems. It went to the repair centre twice and came back the same so I took it apart and fixed it myself. faulty cold fill valve was making it to think it had a leak on the cottons program and shut it down...

Hi Nick, This is a Merloni machine, Antonio Merloni that is not his brother Merloni Indes###t. It has a pretty unique motor which i haven't seen on any other machines it is round and sorry i can't remember the name at the mo(too much vino tonight). Most machines have a c.e set motor which is...

yes Servis have an average reliabilty rating in Uk though it is a budget machine. made in Italy, this machine has an Ariston heater and bog standard pump etc plus the stainless steel outer tub. it all seems pretty well put together inside compared to current Indesits and Hoovers etc much more...

Hi all, well another bargain the Servis easi logic cost me just 1p yes 1p off ebay as it was dead but i've fixed it and now its running as my main machine. It actually does everything i expect a machine to do and does it very well. The water levels are non existant but it cleans amazingly and...

I always say you should buy whatever you like the look of and feel happy with. I would always listen to engineers rather than retail stores advise.Its the repair guys who go out to these machines day in day out and if they say run from them then you have to bear in mind your lovely machine may...

thats a really great video Nick. Thanks for sharing it with us Steve
