So after spending this weekend with my handy watt meter, measuring the cost per drying cycle in my LG vented American style/size dryer, and comparing that to what I could theoretically spend if I had a Miele T1 HP. And honestly, I am not sure what to do with this info.. So for context, our...

Hey everyone. Here's another question for the Miele experts, particularly anyone with a T1 heat pump dryer: Drum volumes (liters) - I popped into the Miele store after work yesterday to look at dryers, as we had an 18% increase in electricity tarrifs in July, and with this being a super wet...

How do we feel about the Miele W1 range? Following the W5740 I bought last week, I came across a WKH 121 WPS (twindos and powerwash model) for a really good deal. So I sold the W5740 and I've listed my Siemens as well, so that I can get this W1. I haven't had any bites on the Siemens yet, so I...

***Calling all the Miele experts*** After regularly keeping a finger on the local pulse (Marketplace, Gumtree) I found a Miele washing machine in pretty decent cosmetic condition, that was being sold for an absolute song. Hubby and I drove through to the seller (only 25 mins away) Thursday...

So today my fiance let me geek out a bit, and we took a load to one of the oldest coin operated laundries in Cape Town, Joe Soap. Also 1 of the few remaining self service laundries, as many have changed to "drop and go" laundries. The laundromat has been around for around 33/34 years, and is an...

Hi All! Been a while since I posted, but I have been reading the forum a few times a week as always. As the title suggests, I am just interested to know a bit more about Astonish products from the UK. I have seen them in a few of the local supermarkets here, and then a few weeks ago my fiance...

Hello All and warm greetings from sunny South Africa. So as the subject suggests, I am conflicted... My fiance and I are moving to a new apartment in a few weeks, and I want to get a new dryer. Currently I have an LG 7.5kg vented...

Hello all! So, my partner and I are moving in together at the end of November, and we have decided to start fresh and buy new kitchen appliances. Mainly a new fridge, dishwasher and washing machine. I have been researching and pricing, and we have a few nice scratch and dent outlets here in...

Hello all! Been a long while since I last posted, but have been reading posts as often as I can. As the title suggests, I need a way to fragrance laundry without the use of FS. I don't use FS at all, but my partner loves it - not for the softness (he tumble dries everything so that does the...

Hi all! I have come across a Whirlpool dreamspace AWM1000 washing machine. Pretty much a duet but it says it's made in Germany so I presume it's more bauknecht. The machine is 5 years old and the owners are selling because it sometimes stops during a cycle. Sometimes it finishes the cycle and...

Hi all! So Thursday night I was just browsing my local gumtree,and saw an ad for a *FREE* tumble dryer. And when I saw the picture, I just had to have it. Its German, has a glass door, and comes from the '80s...it's a Bauknecht! TRA 865 CD. I love it! My mom's aunt has the 860 and she loves it...

Hello all! Been a while since I've posted or even commented on a thread, but the student life has kept me busy, especially this time of year with final assignments being due soon. So, here's the situation I found myself in tonight: Last night I used the last of my dishwashing liquid (hand...

Hi all! My cousin will be visiting America for 3 weeks at the end of the month, Illinois and NYC, and I want her to bring me some OxiClean back. The only Oxygen bleach powder we can get here in SA is from GNLD, but its become very expensive and would be cheaper for me to give my cousin money...

Hi all! So today my parents were given a really nice side by side fridge/freezer from a friend who is down sizing, but there is the strangest of smells inside it...Ciggarettes. My mom and I scrubbed it inside with hot water and grapefruit dish liquid, and have put a bowl containing bicarb and a...

Hey all! A few weeks ago I saw a hisense front loader in 1 of the major department stores here and I was quite interested. It was a 7.5kg with 1000 rpm spin speed and didn't seem to be a rebadged version of anything, however it did have a bosch looking drum. It also had loads of programmes...
