Hi guys,   I finally got round to dry testing out the pristine Hotpoint 9540 minus a door today (I borrowed the door off the matching 9330 dryer which I picked up today), however it has one issue where it will not advance through the cycle - I set it to a spin, and after 5 minutes of...

This thread welcomes a new addition to my collection, and indeed our kitchen.   Chris in Southampton (aquarius8000) had to let go of his 9605 due to space constraints, and whilst I need a new washing machine like a hole in the head I decided to give it a home in our new kitchen.  Seeming as...

Recently I have moved house, and thus into a new kitchen with limited space constraints.  The problem is that despite there being room widthways for a washer and a dishwasher, the way my back door opens puts a limit onto how deep the washer can be.  Naturally I didn't want to get rid of my...

Here's a quick picture thread detailing my latest acquisition, a Hoover A3110.  Such a special machine for me, as mum said when I brought it back home it's the machine that started all, followed by a question of how many hours of my life have been spent in front of one of these lol.   It is in...

Picked this up this morning, was locally on eBay.  Bought it to use as a second machine, as it's portable enough to be wheeled away after use!

Whilst trawling through second hand stores this weekend down in Bristol, our good friend and sister Richard (richbristoluk) came across this little gem - although an extra dishwasher is what he needs more than a hole in a head at the minute! :-)   Where else to start but with this classic...

Just being nosey around the Sears site, and noticed that their detergent is available to be shipped internationally.  Which variety is the best, and am I right in thinking that the general consensus is that it is a pretty good detergent?  £12.48 for 125 loads seems pretty good, even with...

Out with the old...

Hi all, Just wondering what anybody else thinks of the new Perisl Small & Mighty. Bought a big 54 wash bottle of the bio small and mighty in Asda at the weekend - with their a £4 off voucher book it ended up being just under a fiver. Also bought a 28 wash bottle of the colour variant a week...

Hi all, Moved into my new flat this weekend just gone, all settled in now and just thought I'd give my pennies worth on the machine. It's a Beko WM5120, and to be honest I'm quite impressed for a sub £200 machine. Doesn't mess around on the cycles, 2 hours standard or 1 hour with quick wash...

Set to launch tomorrow, not too sure if the formula has changed since it was altered only last year, but time will tell if it is a case of new packaging or not. Jon http://www.talkingretail.com/products/product-news/14005-ariels-technological-revolution.html

Hi all, First of all, a hello to everybody on here, not been posting much as I used to recently, but still have a read and a quick post on here from time to time. Just an update on our Miele washing machine. Last week it stopped mid-cycle, displaying an F53 error and to call for service. This...

Hi all, I'm working on making my collection of machines in the garage working - however at the moment I have plumbing issues in the form of water supply. I tried to connect the fill hose from the back of the machine, to the garden hose with a garden hose pipe extension (as the only water supply...

Heads up on a Hotpoint 9600 toploader. Needs some TLC but otherwise in good working order. Thinking of going for it myself, it's a manageable drive... any thoughts? :-) Jon...

So, about time for another "what do you use" thread. Will be interesting to see what's changed and what hasn't! I'm using Daz at the moment - one of the huge boxes Asda have been selling for £6 - and have to say I'm pretty impressed! On my usual Ariel Colour for colours, and currently going...

Right. As some people probably have read, here on my campus I have coin operated Maytag toploaders. Now I do have the option of 2 local launderettes nearby with frontloading commercial washers which do a decent job, however sometimes it's not convenient to go there and I have to use the...

Appears to be available now at Asda for £2! Shame there's only a Sainsburys round here, will have to pick some of this up when I'm back at home! Jon...

Hi all, As some of you may know I've moved to university this weekend, which has also meant that I am now one of many users of the on-campus launderette! Was gutted when I walked in to see that the washers were Maytag toploaders. However used one for the first time tonight and was pleasantly...

Hi guys, Just this evening I've treated myself to a new washer, in as-new condition for £69.99. It's a refurbished AEG Lavamat 620, absolutely stunning in the photo - looks like new! Even has the green Oko Lavamat sticker! I've seen a 610 in action before which is the 900rpm version of this...

Usually I tend to stick to either the blue or pink Comfort's, or blue or yellow Lenor, but the other day after finishing work the detergent aisle drew me (as it does) from the staff room doors on my way out... and I picked up a 1.5l bottle of Comfort Sunshine. Whilst I love the smell of this...
