Awww thanks Penny - didn't look back far enough lol

nudge for RB

i have an indesit washer / dryer...... over 10 yrs old now, never been serviced, never had a problem. only does 2 or 3 washes a week though, so not overworked, lol

I have a 17yr old Hotpoint electronic 1000 super plus. It actually says on the front MADE IN ENGLAND. I also have a lovely young man who comes to fix it if needed. Usually because the bushes burn out. He says it will go on for years. So guess I am stuck with it. But have no complaints about the wash, it's just a bit noisy compared to others.

Ive got a Hoover 1300 Special Edition A wash about two and a half years old,works for me !!!

I only every put the powder on the drum through the door, and then i wash my towels on a hot wash i put bi carb in, my old machine never had a lime-scale problem

Lynda I think most are cold fill now. Seems pointless, if you have hot water and it takes longer to do the wash. I use powder and have no problem with it. Persil for 32 yrs lol Marion

Lynda I use a powder in the drawer for washing but have to clean it out regularly and use the comfort cusion liquid softeners in the drum to soften

Sorry McAnne to jump in your thread.. Dawn-on a cold fill only machine-(absolutely f.....g ridiculous in Cyprus where we have solar panels to heat the water-but that's all we can buy,)What powder/liquid etc do you recommend?

I have a Zanussi Nexus. It's 13 years old and (touch wood!) have never had a problem. It has had some hammer though, as I wash at least once a day, usually twice. Sharonx

I have a Bosch. I do miss not having a 50 wash. I tend to use 40 all the time now. One problem which I hear is common is holes get bunged up where the softner is,so it doesnt wash in softner...if you know what I mean. It can be sorted by un clogging the holes though. Drawers get very black and gungy, so need to clean it more than I did with my hotpoint. Marion

Anne my machine wont do the softener either have come to the conclusion that its because its cold fill only. Mines a hoover and have had loads of things go wrong on it but have a coverplan on it so is worth it

Hi Anne I hated my Hotpoint Aquarius, i had no end of problems. I now have a Zanussi Jetstream and can't believe how quite it is Julie

I have Siemens-exellent wash and spin, but it dosn't like powder and conditioner!

My 17 year old Hoover washer drier eventually died on me and I was persuaded to replace it with a Servis. My advice - don't!!

i have a zanussi its now 15 years old and still going strong(touch wood)lol i wouldnt have any other make,except for an aeg lol. mum and dads aeg is 22 years old and still works like new. susie

I have recently purchased a BOSCH and have had no problems with it..............so far................touch wood. Susan

Thanks :O)) Wondered if Meile would get a vote lol Had one of their hoovers and regret getting shot of it. My bro has a Meile and it's donkeys years old - doesn't look very pretty but is obviously worth the investment ...........

Zenussi, The Appliance of Science, had them for a long time, no problems. Miele are excellent,but Expensive. Hal.

Meile bought in 1990 still going strong and still looks new. Over time replaced all my appliances with Miele as they are so reliable. I think they now give a ten year gaurentee on washing machines. Win
