Hello. Over the Christmas holidays, I was speaking to my great-grandparents who mentioned that they had an old Kenwood mixer in their loft, and they wanted to know if I wanted it. I said yes, of course, so I am now the proud owner of a Kenwood Chef A701A, which dates from approximately 1968. I...

Hi, as the title says, I am creating this thread about the history of Persil, the detergent brand, as I would like to know more about Persil and also about the history of the brand. I hope this thread also educates others as well. So please can you share anything you know about Persil and I...

Hi. I am looking for info about the Hotpoint Cassata series, what was different about them? And, does anyone have any information, photographs or brochure pics. I found this picture whilst searching for them, WD61? Also a DF61 dishwasher appeared on eBay in the Cassata form. Many Thanks to...

Hi! Our loyal and faithful Bosch washing machine is broken. It was in the morning, whilst we were in bed, there was a loud BANG and we thought it was the plumbing. When we got downstairs, I unloaded the washer, only to find the clothes still very wet. OK, I said, and I set it to do a spin. The...

Hello! Up until Two days ago, I owned a Hotpoint WDM73 and a Creda W220VW washing machine. I bought the Hotpoint to sell on, but the Creda to keep. I eventually sold the Hotpoint on Gumtree for £95 which was rather nice. The machines both lived in the front of the garage so when the garage...

I am very sorry for upsetting some members: Aquacycle washboy2005 aquarius1984 and others. Please be aware I am new to the site and I am still figuring out whhat is going on. Jacob

This was ariston4life's idea for a competition. Just enter your designs and you can judge for each others ideas. The prize from me will be a washing machine design of your choice and information of a machine from one of my 2001,2002 or 2004 Argos catalogs. Good luck Jacob

Hi Guys, I'm thinking of maybe replacing the Bosch soon because the door seal and bearings are on their way out. It is about 7 years old and we would probably sell on eBay as spares. Sometimes it feels like my clothes have been washed in an Indesit Moon because sometimes I end up with little...

Hi Guys, A few threads ago, I highlighted the problem of a banging Zannusi dryer. Well, that one met the crusher yesterday. In the end the drum wouldn't turn. The friend who owned this dryer recently moved house. In the old house, the dryer was in a garage with no windows so it had to be a...

Hi Guys, As some of you fellow Persilheads know, my parents won't let me start a collection. The thought of where to put the collection jumped (not literally) on me. Get a mini washer. Now on first thought, it would have to be a front loader, not a camping mini one you can buy at Argos or a...

I made this on Google Sketchup- the Nolan jerento (don't ask).

Look at this link. There are two new White Knight dryers out they both have digital displays. The 86AW and the 96AW. Jacob http://www.crosslee.co.uk/english/whiteknight/dryers.html#vented

I know a few years ago, Argos were selling HEC machines. Have never heard of these and I would like to know who make/made them. You can still buy them from Argos but they are now branded as Haus. Jacob Here's a HEC from a house down our street. It is plumbed in opposite a White Knight Compact...

This is a tribute to Chris's (aquarius8000's) Hotpoint WD61 *SNIFF*. (I do sniff a lot, even not when a machine is gone). Please can you help by putting all *SNIFF* info and *SNIFF* pictures. This applies to everyone *SNIFF* as well as Chris. I have put a *SNIFF* link to an eBay page and *SNIFF*...

Yesterday I went to a BBQ and their was a Zanussi TC 482W (like Chris's) in the kitchen. The owner said a while ago that it was on its last legs and sounded like it was drumming. I then heard it at the BBQ and it was making a drumming sound. Please could you give me advice. How old is it anyway...

I remember there was an eBay listing a while back for a White Knight Eco Washing Machine. Scouring the web to find out about these machines, I learn't that you can still buy White Knight washers. Can anyone tell me any details about these machines? Thank You Jacob...

My nana used to have a Hotpoint WM41 1400rpm washing machine. Oh how I loved that machine. I used to watch it sudslock, rinse and when it spun at 1400 rpm for about a minute. It was replaced with a Bosch Maxx 1400rpm machine. If anyone has any pictures of this machine, please can you post them...

... wrong. My grandparens had a Sandstone Hotpoint WMA34. It died after pump failure. They replaced it with a 2008 Hoover Optima OPH147D. They always use either Cottons 40, or Silks 30. This is an OK machine with average quality. It wouldn't have been my choice but it was on a 'Managers Special'...
