Hello all, hope everyone is well and staying safe. It's a while since I last posted here. I was wondering if any of our UK members have any old brochures dating back to the mid to late 90s. I used to have loads when I was younger but I'm not sure what happened to them. I'd be grateful if any e...

Hello all, I need a bit of assistance with our new Miele W1. In my previous thread, we've had an engineer out to see to some 'issues'. The vibration was caused by the lack of a locking ring on one of the back feet it's smooth and quiet now. The Twindos was blocked, so he cleaned it out. He...

Hello all, I've been quiet on the forum lately, largely due to work and personal issues at home. However I'm making a return with the best way I know! We've upgraded our Miele with guess what, another Miele! We had this WKG120 at my work (John Lewis). It was an ex display which we needed to...

Hello all, this is an issue that's causing me confusion. There's so many types of motors manufacturers seem to be coming up with. I have a basic understanding, just need a bit of clarification. I assume the difference between an AC and a DC motor is the input current, the DC being able to...

As per the title, let's have a picture thread of the world's nicest and ugliest looking machines. I'll start us off with a few. I think the best looking machine is the Miele W1

Came across this machine, a conceptual washing machine designed by London based design agency Blond for a confidential client I love it, I hope it becomes a reality, if it has longevity and performance to match. I wonder who it is designed for, I'm not sure why but it has a Asko look to it...

Hi all as you may or may not remember, we have been using an LG for almost a year now. I had a slight change of heart, I missed the Miele. So it's back in its rightful home. The lg is a good machine, better than say Hoover, Hotpoint and the other low to middle end machines. But it doesn't...

Hi all, just been having a browse around this evening and came across this new machine at currys. A logik integrated washer, which is a first. Question is, who makes this machine? I was thinking perhaps Electrolux, because of the door and the control dual, but the drum texture is nothing I've...

Hi all, I have always wanted a Dyson Contrarotater, just because they're unusual and they're Dyson! I managed to find one locally, a CR02 Flowcheck, the white one. It is in relatively good shape, needs a clean. The outer door was off, so I reattached it, and it didn't seem to want to lock. A...

Hi all, I wonder if someone can give me an answer, as curiosity is getting the better of me. Today at work, I was just looking at a few machines, and armed the drum of a Bosch. I noticed that the drum just abruptly stopped, it didn't coast down like the others. I tried it on other Bosch...

Hello all, I'm wondering if the great AW family could help me with a project I'm working on. I'm looking at the stain effectiveness for modern washing machines, so I have a stain sample make up ready to see how much of the stain is removed, so I require volunteers. I am looking for modern...

Hi all, so recently we have had minor issues with our AEG Favorit F86070vi dishwasher. I have no idea how old it actually is, perhaps someone might be able to date it. Anyway, it's always worked flawlessly however it's not been heating recently. Our first thought could be the control board...

Hello all, I am working on a project which involves building a prototype, and various tests. I'm doing it so I can apply for a position at a much loved company of mine. The help would be to launder some test strips with stains to test cleaning efficiency, ideally the more volunteers the...

My new acquisition! I saw it at work, it was end of line reduced to £330. I didn't need it, but I thought at the price, I could keep it in storage for whenever I require it. But as we're fans of appliances, I had to have a try out, so I put it in place of the Miele. It's model F14A8TDSA5, 8kg...

Meet Markus, he's handsome, rugged, smart and dependable. Today was towel washing day, and Markus was up against one heck of a challenge as you'll see. Do Miele really live up to their slogan of Forever Better?

Hey all, I have just had a nosey at my companies website, and it appears we have some new stuff. Looks like Indesit are giving their machines a facelift and rolling out the innex feature...

Haier are recalling washing machines under the haier and bush brands (sold at argos). Apparently there is a component in the control panel which can overheat and lead to a fire risk. Can't say that I am at all surprised. Whay makes me wonder though, is whether the haier machines sold at comet...

To the UK members, ebac is known for their dehumidifiers. I found this link: It appears we are going to have a British made washing machine this year! They look quite smart, the link let's you tailor the options, seem they have the option of a 10 year warranty. So looking forward to this...

OK, just an update. We have the Grundig's finally in our store and I was so excited as I saw them come in on the delivery. I was even lucky enough today to unbox them! We also had a pleasant Beko lady, the Grundig's are not officially launched until the 21st, we have them early and...
