great low cost washer

Advantages: Easy to use and a great price
Disadvantages: none

...We brought this washing machine because it was in stock and we could collect that day. Our washing machine had finally ceased to work. I could go into lots of details such as the 11 wash presets, the 6kg load capacity, the different spin cycles or tell you its a front loader, i am sure you could tell that from the picture though. The machine was so simple to install that anyone that can push in a 3 pin plug and tighten up a plastic nut on a water pipe can do with ease. The silver colour of our machine would fit in with any modern kitchen design. If only we had a modern kitchen......... We have found this machine to be a great washing machine. Ours must do on an average day between 2 - 3 loads. One problem we had with the machine when we first got it was that it would not spin properly. We called out the engineer and he informed us...

Review of Haier HNS1260TVE

Value dishwasher

Advantages: Reasonably priced, unique dimensions
Disadvantages: Only six place settings

...-loading dishwasher made by Haier priced at a remarkable £209. Haier was not a familiar name so I clicked through to their website. I was surprised to find a leading Chinese manufacturer established in 1984 with German knowhow. They have since expanded into Europe and are one of the top businesses in mainland China. Chinese dishwashers? Why not. I ordered a Haier WQP6-2 via the searchappliance website (no delivery charge) and it arrived within four days. After unpacking, I pushed it into the space under the hob with baited breath. It was a few centimetres too short and a few centimetres too narrow but the depth was perfect. It looked better than the Zanussi. Problem solved. So how well does the Haier perform? Pretty well, actually. The machine, which only comes in white, has six place settings. This is half the capacity of most family dishwashers...

Environmentally Friendly Dishwasher tablets

Advantages: Works as well as leading brands, cheaper
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's Cleanhome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's have brought out a new range of products that deliver great cleaning performance but are also kinder to the environment. I'm a bit of a spend thrift so was looking through the Sainsbury's aisles for some cheap dishwasher tablets. I had run out and didn't want to buy a lot of tablets until I was able to go and buy some tablets at wholesale prices. I noticed this at the top of the shelf because it was on offer. 25 tablets for £1.99, saving a 1/3 off the normal price. At 8p a tablet, how could I resist? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Packaging & the tablets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The contents come in a cardboard box. Indeed a box that looks like it has already been recycled. The box itself is blue with an outline of a house in what looks like grass...

Review of Sainsbury's Cleanhome Dishwasher Tablets Citrus

Asda 5 in 1 Citrus Dishwasher Tablets

Advantages: Gleaming dishes, glasses and machine
Disadvantages: None as yet

...This is a review of Asda 5 in 1 Citrus dishwasher tablets. We have had our dishwasher for a few years now and have come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for where dishwasher tablets are concerned.We prefer the tablet form of detergent purely for ease of use and less mess than powder. We have tried a few budget ranges over the years but find that the tablets do not dissolve or the dishes, especially glasses are left with a film of residue when the wash is finished, and there were many occasions when our food tasted of detergent due to the plates not being cleaned properly. For this reason, we have stuck to Finish for at least the last 10 months. Between Christmas and January pay day, we were watching our pennies and noticed that Asda had a 5 in 1 product which was on offer for £2.79 for a box of 30 instead of £3.30, and this...

Review of Asda Dishwasher Product

Cleans, freshens and maintains your washer

Advantages: Easy to use, very effective
Disadvantages: Takes around 2 ½ hours. Stainless steel drums only.

..."Dr. Beckmann Service-it" is a liquid washing machine cleaner that claims to "clean, freshen and maintain against breakdowns and malfunctions". The makers recommend that it be used every 3 months (or 40 washes) in order to rid your washing machine drum, pipes, seals, etc. of any build-up of detergent residue and grime. Also, by cleaning, to dispel any odours, and maintain efficiency by eliminating any build-up of limescale on the heating elements. The product is to be found in the 'laundry aides' section in many supermarkets, and can be purchased direct from the manufacturer's online shop at www.acdomart.co.uk. ~ My reason for using ~ I am keen to reduce my carbon footprint and have switched most of my wash loads to 30 or 40 degrees. However, when I recently used a 60 degree cycle (with high spin speed) I was surprised...

Review of Dr. Beckmann Service-it Washing Machine Cleaner

A washing machine I'm allowed to ram stuff in!

Advantages: Inexpensive, realistic, entertaining, neutral colours
Disadvantages: Door can come off, difficult to close, power button

...The title is of course a suggestion from my 18 month old :o) I recently went for some three weeks without a washing machine and had to make countless trips to the local laundrette with my lad in tow. Much to the laundrette lady's disgust I could hardly strap my son in his pushchair for hours at a time so he took great pleasure in examining the washing machines up close and deciding what it is they do; he even got to wash his cookie monster. He has since taken a great interest in the washing machine at home and was seizing every available opportunity to "wash" his things (be they his cookie monster, dirty socks or half full cup of milk). So when I had to go to Toys R Us recently to purchase a second stair gate (he's figured out how to open his bedroom door - at 5am), I decided to look for a little washing machine all of his own...

Review of Just Like Home Washing Machine

High pressure washer

Advantages: Handy, cleans well, high power, easy to use
Disadvantages: Maybe length of hose, can get cheaper versions

...If your Like me and don’t like paying £6 to get you car gleaming and clean, then this product is a good idea. The Karcher K090 Pressure Washer helps me easily get my car in the sparkling condition I like it easily and cheaply. Fare enough you have to put the extra time in cleaning but if you do it your self then you know what standard it will be done to and take pride in the finished article. I have an issue with the mechanical brush drive through washers I don’t believe they can do your paint work any good at all, have you seen the bristles on the spinner brushes, they are nylon and spin at a far rate, I am sure this can ware down your paint after a while. Plus I don’t feel comfortable at the end when the blower starts it always looks like it won’t move out of the way will brake the screen come...

Review of Karcher K090 Pressure Washer

Washing Blues ( NOT )

Advantages: Cheap and good looking
Disadvantages: NONE so far

...The very smart looking white unit, which the very kind Argos man had just delivered, was something my wife had been waiting on for ages. What with car MOT and repairs and god knows what else the funds just simply were not available for a new washing machine, and other priorities were dealt with first. So when the funding became available you can imagine how relieved my wife was to finally have a washing machine again. The old one god bless it's little old motor had served us very well and my wife had pondered seriously with the idea of getting one of the same manufacturer's newer model. However it was an article in a magazine that was highlighting up and coming electronics company Haier that swayed both her and I towards one of their models. Haier are a Chinese company and I suppose the best comparison would be saying they...

Review of Haier HNS1260TVE

Mail Washer Beats the heck out of your mail man

Advantages: Saves time and helps keep you email under control
Disadvantages: Can be a bit tempermental at times

...is a great little program called Mail Washer, which acts like a buffer between your email utility and your computer that filters out junk mail. HOW DOES IT WORK ------------------------------ Mail Washer flags those suspected of carrying a virus and automatically marks them for deletion. It analyses the email and compares it against know lists of offending address as well as checking against your own list of blocked addresses. Mail Washer gives you the option to allow or block email before it reaches you and the option of bouncing the spam mail back which can make the spam server respond as if your email address has become inactive and will could automatically removes you from its junk mail list. However, bouncing also informs them that someone is checking that email address because mail has been bounced. I tend not to bounce...

Review of MailWasher.net

You spin me right round baby, right round

Advantages: The types of washing cycles you can do
Disadvantages: If you make an error your going to pay for it in the long run sadly

...This review is for the HAIER HW-C1470TVEME-U washing machine. Setup ---------- I have to admit the setup is very easy to do but you can have issues. You unpack the washing machine from the fantastic pack and you just place it where you like. The only odd part to setup is that sometimes you do need to open up the door and make the drum inside rotate a few times in order to begin your first wash. This is because it needs to know it is in use before hand, so this is the one thing you might have to do to begin setup. Design ----------- This washing machine is a really nice design. You have the door which has the glass there and the glass appears to be this light blue. When you look at this from a distance it does appear to be an ocean blue colour and yet when you go up close this is not the case at all. Just above the door you...
