Half your wash load and save save save

Advantages: 9kg drum... 'triple A' rating
Disadvantages: Overkill for couples

This Hoover washing machine is great! The best feature is its 9!!!!KG drum--- the average drum is about 5kg and if your like my mother who seems to be washing constantly (she does have 3 boys after all) its a massive help... likewise if your just a couple this would be overkill for you! A 1600 speed spin its a good speed- as I have been told more than this can actually cause damage to your delicates without you realising! And dont worry as this is ...
...you manually control the speed! For those of us who so there bit for the environment it has a 'triple A' rating which is basically the best you can get- this combined with the big drum means its possible for a family to HALVE the cost of the electricity used in during the washing process! Also useful for those looking to save the pennies is the start delay option- for those of electricity economy 7 you can set the delay up to to 12hours and therefore ...

Review of Hoover VHD964ZD

Sally

Advantages: neat to look at
Disadvantages: Extra functions don't work together to make an easy to use cycle

I agree entirely with the previous review. This machine takes forever to wash the large load that I bought it to do. The most suitable cycle that I have found involves setting the dial, and pressing numerous buttons to set the right spin and temperatures. This is fine when I do it, but risky when I'm entrusting the wash to my teenagers! My biggest complaint however is the fact that I've just had to call an engineer out as my machine stopped full ...
...the filter was clean. The engineer found a 5p coin, and some hair in the out pipe, which he claimed was not covered by warranty, and would have to charge me, unless I extended my warranty for £64.80. My machine is only 9 months old, so the new warranty won't start until December. More worrying is the fact that the engineer couldn't show me how to clear the outlet myself, so does this mean that everytime one of us leaves a coin in a pocket, or a button ...

Review of Hoover VHD 814/Z 14

DO NOT BUY

Advantages: non
Disadvantages: everything

...engineer company who deal with Haier and this is basically the conversation I had with their representative. what is the problem with the machine? ME: seven out of ten times it doesn't spin properly and I get error codes on the digital screen what spin cycle do you use? ME: All of them but mainly sport and quick wash well they don't spin on a quick and sport wash, it's a short spin so they will come out wet ME: whats the point in that? and ...
...them again it doesn't spin properly then either and brings up a error code you are either putting too much washing in or not enough ME: I just want to wash clothes not weigh them before I put them in, whats too much and too little, it's hard to find the happy medium that means I can actually get the machine to spin just put half a load in at a time, could you tell me the error code you are getting ME: CTLR that means you are not using the right ...

Review of Haier HW-D 1270 TVE

Bosch WAE28364GB Classixx 6 1400 Express - Good buy

Advantages: Easy to use, fast spin, wide opening door, economy.
Disadvantages: Difficult to move into position without wheels - might be typical of most modern machines ?

...will tell on this, but Bosch were offering a 2 year guarantee). 3. Value for money. 4. Efficient use of water and electricity. 5. Variable spin speed and 1400 spin to speed up drying of towels. So far the machine has met our expectations in every way. It was described as 57cm deep, however the top of the machine is only 53cm deep - the front then gently curves outward to a depth of 57cm so does not look out of place even if not pushed right back ...
...no wheels on the machine so it was VERY difficult to slide into position over our cushioned lino floor - spraying some polish on the floor helped a lot - dont know how easy it will come back out though. Our old machine had 2 wheels atthe back so ou could tilt it back slightly and roll it nto place. Instructions were quite easy to understand and the machine is very simple to use. It is reasonably quiet - on the 1400 spin it sounds as if it is going ...

The Beko WM6143 - Operable by men!

Advantages: silver! good washer, easy to use
Disadvantages: a bit noisy

My first trip away with Mr Minkypolly was a fortnight in North Berwick in spring 2008. We rented a beautifully converted cottage on a country estate with private beaches and acres of misty green woodland. It was the first time we had really had alone together, and I was the happiest I had been in my whole life. It was like a dream... Until the third day. I was reading in the sunlight beneath the big velux window, when he sidled up and spoke the ...
...the washing machine works?" It was of no import that I had the exact same experience of using said machine as him (ie none!) - obviously, as a woman, I had the innate divine power of household appliance know-how, and would be able to operate the washing machine by instinct. He can build furniture, fix cars, insulate lofts and seal bathrooms, but as a man, should not be expected to understand the mysteries that lurk in the kitchen! Similarly, whilst ...
