Aaaah! The 11500!! The best looking machine out if the bunch,it was a sad day when my nan sent hers off to the tip
I can still hear it draining and spinning to this day

Evening all,
I was looking through gumtree this week and came across a lady selling this dryer for £50ono.
I really only need a dryer for emergencies,so it's not going to get used every day,it looks in really good condition.
Just wanted advice from some of the ones who might own one,is it worth...
My mum,mum in law,auntie and a couple of mates all have Bosch machines and have told me how good they are,I just can't get used to how quiet it is!! Lol
I'm really glad I bought it,hopefully it will run trouble free for a good few years.

Good evening everyone,I've never really liked the Haier washer dryer,so I've given it back to the landlord and bought my own.
I chose the Bosch VarioPerfect 1200 (WAQ2431DGB) with Eco silence drive,I'm still getting to know the machine but I'm so far pretty impressed with how quiet it is,I've...

I've switched back over to ariel now,I've just put on a whites and lights wash,set at 50c cotton,added a scoop of vanish gold and paused the machine to soak for an hour,I read on the persil website that you can risk setting in heavy stains by washing too hot so I'm giving this method a...
Great stuff! I've been watching the videos on YouTube of the electra 17018 spin cycles and they seem slightly different to what i remember from my nan's 11500 model,
If my memory is right the old style creda/electra was just one continuous spin up to 1000rpm,where the 17018 has a short spin...
I loved the ariel future liquid too,Saturday morning I would pre treat the collars on all our school shirts,then wash them in our Hoover New Wave 1100,they always came out clean,
There's nothing like a line full of bright white shirts blowing in the breeze

My auntie had this machine in the early 90s,and now I'm a little excited you have this,I trust you will be uploading some wash loads onto your YouTube page??? :) :)
Speaking of added stain removers,I spilled curry sauce on a white t shirt,treated it with vanish gold,rubbed it in as instructed,gave it 30 seconds,added a scoop with surf,washed at 60 and hay presto,the stain is still there :/
I had a look online and noticed that Downy have the product in other countries,
Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait a little longer to find out as the supermarket had sold out of them this evening,but once I get a bottle I will see how they work
Neil
Has anyone in the UK tried these yet? My other half is popping to Asda after work so I've put them on the shopping list,I'm curious as to whether they are just designed for freshness or do they add softness to? I once tried the Comfort Pearls if anyone remembers them and I wasn't keen on the...
That's a shame! It must be more and more difficult as the years go on to find parts for these kind of machines,
The classic Creda/Electra machines are as rare as hens teeth these days! I'd love to find a 11500 or a 11400 crusader model
Are you keeping the machine or will you wait in hope for a...
