Advantages: Washer and Dryer in one Disadvantages: CRAP - COMPLETELY LET YOU DOWN
...a look in there and again they only had two in stock a Hotpoint which was what I was looking for and a Hoover WDM130. The Hotpoint one only had a small drum and didn't hold a lot of washing - no good with 4 kids. So I opted for the Hoover WDM130, knowing I would be walking out of the shop with it, (not actualy walking WITH it in my arms) but at least tonight I could do some of the mountain of washing waiting for me at home!
It Cost me £349.99 and I got a managers discretion with a little haggling and go £40 off this price, I also purchased a further 4 years guarantee costing another £244.99, so for a total of £554.98 (a lot of money) I have a washer/dryer for 5 years.
It washes 6kg and drys 2.5kg of washing which is a plus point for me. The only drawback is that you have to empty some of your washing before drying the rest!

Advantages: Good value for money. Fast spin. It DRIES! Disadvantages: It doesn't always spin. Drying can take AGES.

Background and Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As some of you may already know, I grew up in the States. Washing machines in the States are BIG - they are top loaders, and often have a room or part of a room (often the basement - oh, how I MISS basements *sigh*) to themselves. Next to the washing machine sits a tumble dryer - both are big enough to take at LEAST three days worth of laundry for a family of four.
What a shock it was for me when I came to live in the UK. I lived in a flat. There was just one dinky little washing machine in the kitchen under the counter (as another little aside, this is actually a better situation than many flat-dwellers have in the States...

...I didn't deliberately choose this appliance. I had another Hoover washer/dryer that the Gias people (Hoover's maintenance company) rendered unusable because of a bungled repair. Due to the age of that machine, all they were willing to offer by way of compensation was a substantial discount on a new machine from their range. I wish now that I had been more demanding, and ask for cash to use against purchase of a different brand.
The machine itself, on the face of it, is state of the art. It has the usual range of wash programmes, selected manually. Not as many choices as the latest chip-controlled machines available, but enough for the average household, I suspect (except that there is no option to "hold" the washing without spinning, which is quite useful if you want to leave it on to empty later and avoid too much creasing...

We had been holidaying in Dubai when we realised that it would be a great idea if you could take some videos too. Our camera did offer us the possibility to take small video clips but if we were to use that we would have soon run out of... more
This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with more
Looks nice and decent sound quality. Pretty easy to use and reception seems pretty good. LCD is clear and bright and gives all the information you'd expect/want about current station.
It plays MP3 tracks from CDs according to the manual (this isn't a... more
The Dazzle Video Creator DVC 130 is a cool piece of kit which basically records your videos from a camcorder, VCR or any other video equipment with analogue outputs. That's the reason I bought this and its easy to use.
