I saw this machine on Gumtree for £2 and without even thinking twice snapped it up. Now I look at it, it may be quite an old model. It hasn't been tested yet but the previous owner advised that it runs but only when the dial passes "3", below that it doesn't turn on. I'll have to check that...

About a month ago I purchased a less than 10 year old Zanussi frost-free fridge freezer (50:50 ratio) and it appeared to work fine, until one day the temperature warning beeper went off to alert me the fridge was above the maximum temperature. Strangely though, the freezer was still working...

Hello guys, long time no post! My Bendix 7414 tumble dryer that I have owned for over 2 years has decided that it wants to break the years of flawless service with a rather major problem. About two weeks ago the dryer was working fine (though it had started making quite a loud clattering...

I was wondering if anybody here had any information on this wee Philips travel kettle I bought a few years ago from a second hand shop? It appears to have been seldom used and I've only ever used it once to check it works. Here are some pictures:

What do you think is better ? I personally like liquid because in my experience the clothes come out more fragranced and softer, plus there is no drawer cleaning that I hate so much.

Yes it damn well is! I bought a bottle of it in Tesco yesterday as it was down on price to £2.66 as the dishwasher has been running for almost a year now without using such a product (as superfluous as some may see them) and the dishes were intermittently getting a bit slimy when they came out...

For the past week or so we've been using Enrituals Vitality Liquid Detergent alongside Enrituals Vitality Fabric Conditioner and they both work in perfect harmony! The detergent cleans brilliantly, while the softener softens and scents the laundry beautifully. I can't recommend them highly...

Recently I've seen in the supermarkets various brands of Dishwasher Cleaning Liquid that you (to the best of my knowledge) put in the dishwasher then set it for a wash and it cleans out the arteries, pump etc... But, do they actually work and secondly, even if they do, are they strictly necessary ?

Spin speeds that is. My current washer, a 2011 BEKO WM5100W has a 1000RPM spin speed which at first, going from my 1600RPM spin Zanussi, I thought would be way too little, but it actually drains just as well, despite being drastically slower, plus the slower spin speed should, theoretically...

Tonight I bought a 3KG box of Tesco Daisy Dishwasher powder when I was looking for the Value tablets, and decided on the powder purely because it is better value for money and is what my Bosch Tabletop Dishwasher's manual recommends. I've not used it yet as I still have some tablets to get...

Am I the only one here who things that 2-In-1 Washing Powder doesn't actually soften the clothes ? I always buy Fabric Magic Lavender powder from my local Pound Shop which is supposedly 3-In-1, it washes, softens, and eases ironing. It washes very well and scents the clothes brilliantly, so I...

Yesterday I bought a box of Tesco Value dishwasher tablets, and after using 5 of them, I can tell you they work FANTASTICALLY. Don't be put off by the plain box or the fact they only cost £1.80, they work very well, so buy them and give them a try.

As the title says really. We have a late 2000s Bosch Tabletop Dishwasher which works fantastically, but one problem is that about 7 out of 10 times it is used the solid powder tablet just sits in the dispenser and doesn't pop out. The door opens fine, but the tablet just sits there. What...

How long should I expect the belt to last on my 1979 Bendix 7414 Compact Tumble Drier ? I bought it yesterday and don't know when it was last changed, maybe it is even the original belt ? Is that possible ? Basically, do those little driers go through belts quickly or do they last a long time...

Yesterday I picked up my £35/$55 Bendix "Tumble Dry" 7414 Compact Drier! I think it was made in 1979, as the last number of the Serial No is 9, but I am open to corrections! Let me tell you, the whole machine is in new condition. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest - NEW CONDITION! I don't...

I'm Jamie Murray. You may call me Mr Murray, JM, or simply Jamie. I will also accept Sir :) I am not a washer/dryer etc... Collector, far from it, I don't really care much for them. BUT! I have just bought (well, paid for, will collect tomorrow) a BENDIX 7414 Compact tumble dryer! I would...
