Hi Dejan I just can't imagine waiting that long for a load of washing to be completed. I realise that I can go and do other things whilst it's in progress but if that is what it takes to get A+++ then I'm afraid you can count me out. I have just bought an old Servis Starlight and the cycle...

Cycle times are getting absurd I was in John Lewis Outlet looking at washing machines (surprise, surprise) and in particular the John Lewis machines. As it is an outlet store the selection changes rapidly and can be very random and for the first time I saw an 8kg John Lewis model. I was...

Capacity I was interested in the comment about capacity (10lbs for the Hotpoint vs 9lbs for the Bosch etc). My old Bosch WFF 2000 went to the great washer graveyard in the sky reluctantly and that was rated as 5kg. It struggled to take a double cotton duvet cover, cotton kingsize sheet and four...

I tried them when they first appeared at my local Sainsburys about 6 months ago and were at a mega special offer. They are very good and at the right price I would definitely buy again.

Dave T I have seen BKF in Wilkinsons, Sainsburys, Waitrose and John Lewis so I imagine it is pretty much readily available in almost all supermarkets apart from maybe Lidl and Aldi but you never know!

I would leave it as it is. Surely this is the cool down part of the programme isn't it? I wish my machine did this because it helps reduce creasing. My Mum had a Hoover Electron in the 1980's when I was living at home and it used to do the same thing. By the time it reaches the point in the...

I had one of those kettles when I lived in OZ in the early 1990's - almost everyone I knew at the time seemed to have them!

This tiny article in June's Which? caught my eye............. 'As of December 2013, all washing machines must have a 20c wash cycle. But would you use it? How much money and energy would you actually save? And what happens to cleaning power? Our experts are investigating right now and we'll...

I first used Lidl W5 powder in about 2001 and stopped using it almost immediately because of this problem and also everything, particularly glasses had that awful 'fingers down chalkboard' feel about them, nothing shined and everything felt like it was coated with a very fine, baked on powder. I...

I must be the odd one out because I find it superb at stain removal PARTICULARLY at low temperatures and have had success at a vast range of kitchen/cooking stains, badly stained white linen napkins and tablecloths as low as 30 degrees. I wasn't aware the formula had changed as have always found...

I think it looks good - I haven't yet read up about them but given that we choose a lot of things on looks alone I think it stands out and I would consider it. I don't find the facia as cluttered as some I have seen. Personally, I am not keen on everything being spelled out on the facia - I...

I always keep a pack of this handy - is great for cleaning up carbon steel knives, which stain very easily.

I just bought myself a brand new chiffon cake pan and am planning on road testing it with a coffee chiffon cake very soon - I love them, fashionable or not!

Fixed I can't remember where I read it but I am sure it was something that someone said on here that led me to investigate elsewhere and discovered that my Bosch was one that is affected (it was actually my mother's machine but when I cleared her house after she died, I did a swap as mine was...

I have seen no advertising whatsoever for this product nor any mention of it on here so was wondering if anyone had tried them? I bought a pack from Sainsburys when they were first out and on offer at half price and am very impressed with them. Not sure they are worth paying the full price for...

Thank you guys for the information and tips........ .....and of course you're right, they are chrome and not stainless steel. They have gone a kind of bluish colour and no, they don't slide as easily but as you say, it doesn't affect their performance. I am sure that I will get used to them and...

Am hoping someone can offer some advice here! I very stupidly ran the pyrolytic cleaning cycle on my oven and failed to remove the stainless steel shelves. The oven is as clean as new but the oven shelves have changed colour. I tried to clean them using wire wool but it had no affect. Am...

I don't know about the washing machine but that stove is the same one my parents had when they moved into their first house in the 1950's - English Electric I beleive?

The scent is very slight - fresh but not at all cloying or overpowering and at 40 degrees it produces virtually zero suds, only marginally more at 60. I find it rinses out really well also and I have very soft water. I have just bought a box of the colour version to give that a go. As you say...
