RIPPING TAILS

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: tears clothes

Our Candy Aquaviva 1000 AQ 100 was installed in Feb 2001. So far, it hasn't ripped any (shirt) tails, but that is only by chance. It has torn some arms. Just out of full guarantee, it somehow grabbed a jumper and left a hole in the sleeve. We took this as a one-off and ignored the problem. The inside of the drum was smooth with nothing sticking out which could possibly cause the problem. It was inexplicable. Since then, even when deliberately used ...
...pairs of trousers, more jumpers and other clothes - about ten items in all, about 70% still wearable (but not away from home), others beyond use. At the start of 2004, the door seal started to visibly disintegrate in one place. We wondered if the early stages of this break up had caused clothing to be caught then released, causing damage. We finally wrote to the manufacturers in March 2004. The guarantee by then was for free parts, but we pay for ...

Review of Candy AQ100

I WANT CANDY

Advantages: Cheap, Energy Efficient, Variety of Wash Cycles, Activa Wash Cycle, Quiet
Disadvantages: Some Programmes Seem to take forever

...was first introduced to the Candy Go 1682, which met all of my criteria detailed above but which was available for £299.99. Now because this is a review of the specific machine rather than the store where I purchased it from I will not go into detail regarding delivery charges, fees for installation or disposal of old machines, suffice to say that these factors need to be taken into consideration when deciding whether to purchase this particular ...
...are getting a free standing Candy washing machine which is capable of washing up to 8kg of clothes at a time, has a maximum spin speed of 1600rpm which is variable, uses the Activa Wash system which essentially means that the machine constantly monitors and adjusts the critical elements of the wash cycle including temperature and drum action so that efficiency is maximised, and is triple A rated in terms of energy efficiency which is the best you ...

Great Little Helper

Advantages: Compact, easy to use
Disadvantages: SLOW spin speed

...The washing machine was a Candy Aquamatic 10, it has a 3Kg drum, a separate temp control and 10 Different programmes. The Test: Pile of grubby grassy socks, t-shirts etc..., open the door via the OPEN DOOR button, load the clothes, open the dispenser pour in some Ariel, and a quick slosh of Comfort, the programme list is hidden away in the dispenser, simply lift out and select your programme and temp, and away you go, anyway I selected programme ...
...on the machine and water starts filling instantly. once filled the drum turns immediately right and then left, and so on giving the clothes are real good beating, after a while the drum empties and the clothes tumble but do not spin, the rinse cycle then starts, there is a short burst of a spin between the 4 rinses, then after final softener rinse the full spin starts, this tumbles the clothes back and forth for about a minute, then ramps up gradually ...

Review of Candy AQUA 10

The Beko WMB10W is one of the best washing machines available.

Advantages: Wide variety of wash cycles, Very easy to use and clean, Great reliability.
Disadvantages: Loud spin cycle.

...being advised to buy a Beko dishwasher I was rather sceptical about the brand, though this time I was promised that this Beko WMB10W washing machine really was good. I was not disappointed and thus far I have had little problem with it. Quality/Performance On paper the WMB10W is a good but not great washing machine, with B ratings for Efficiency and Wash quality and a C for Spin quality. Regardless of the ratings, it performs very well indeed. ...
...it still washes well, even at 30°. Regular cycles take around 3 hours, with the options for a prewash or a quick wash lengthening or shortening the time taken. There are a multitude of options, including multiple temperatures for cottons, synthetics and woollens. A hand wash and a lone spin cycle are also possible. The spin cycle speed is also customisable for delicates and woollens. The front loading window is very generous, larger than some other ...

Personal review on LG F1402FDS5

Advantages: Washing Machines - Freestanding - Front Loading - Energy Efficiency: A - Max Capacity: 9 kg - Spin
Disadvantages: NO

...After viewing the reviews on LG we decided to buy it. I bought from Dixons online.They phoned us on the night before delivery to let us know which time we would expected the machine, This was very useful so we could plan our day. The delivery was punctual and efficient. Good points: economical, silent, easy to use, takes a massive 9kg, shows on the screen how long the wash cycle is and we can manually change the spin from 0 ( no spin) to 1400 ...
