Getting Ebac FL washer - made in the UK

Ahh Chris... no more Gardening programme?!!!

My Quickdrive is still holding up, although it's disconcerting when you have to feel grateful it has run smoothly for just 6 months.

That Miele is looking sweet though. Congrats!! I've just got a T1 dryer this week and love it.

@ l86810

How does the Quickdrive mechanism operate? Is there a second motor?

 

[l86810]

Yeah just 2 separate motors... no drives, or gearboxes, literally one motor connected to the main drum, and one to the back plate.

It's pretty quiet as a result.

@ austin... yeah, I've seen loads on eBay. if you filter by "condition - used/not working/for parts only" its a shower of Samsungs that cant be more than a couple of years old, along with a load of Hotpoint's & Hoovers! There are a few Miele's on there, but they look 10 years + old - almost to be expected, you know?!

@adam... man, I didn't get to use the Gardening cycle. GUTTED. I used most of the others, but they were rubbish in light of the detergent dispenser not working. I'll give it its due, it was super quiet and looked sexy. That's all I can say for it. even Which gave it a best buy! Incredible! I'm stuck with the Samsung Heatpump Dryer for now sadly...

I'm not a big fan of Samsung machines, especially because I don't like their cycles. However on a Dutch review site (where customers write the reviews, most Samsung score high. 39 models out of 42 score 8.0 or higher on a scale of 10!

There are brands that do a lot worse on that site.
