Miele W1613 Washing Machine

Advantages: Quiet, Water and Energy Saving Features, Easy To Use
Disadvantages: Very Heavy, Expensive to Buy.

...We have recently become the proud owners of a Miele W1613 washing machine. It has all the usual programmes with some added options. The express programme completes a wash in 30 minutes at 40C. It washes whites perfectly at 60C. Water and energy consumption are determined by the size of the load so when smaller amounts of laundry are washed the automatic load recognition system reduces the amount of water, time and energy used. The machine is extremely quiet and very easy to use, the estimated programme duration appears in the digital display which counts down to let you know visibly when the cycle will finish (which can be disabled to save energy) there is also the option of a buzzer which sounds when the machine has finished its wash. This machine has no faults that I can see from a performance point of view but it is very heavy...

Miele W3824 - Simply Excellent

Advantages: Built to last
Disadvantages: None

...We needed a new washing machine after our AEG machine had gone wrong after only 18 months. We were messed about for two weeks while they tried to fix it but in the end we decided we couldn?t take any more. We went to John Lewis and looked at all the machines and read all information we could find and in the end decided to buy the Miele 3824. While it was at the top end, if not beyond what we wanted to pay the quality and security we got from the 10 year parts and labour warranty made it worth while. We went into the store and ordered it on a Thursday and they arranged a special delivery for Saturday morning. It took one delivery driver to wheel out the old AEG but two of them with some skill to wheel in the Miele. Out of all the machines we looked at these are the best built and very solid. They are so heavy that one person...

Glittery warpaint from W7 (W7 Sparkle Glitter Liquid Eyeliner)

Advantages: Good size pot ideal for handbags
Disadvantages: Brush is very thick

...I'd never used any W7 products before but a friend recently bought me the Sparkle eye liner in No 6 Jade which is a beautiful mix between green and blue, the W7 pots are smaller than the Collection 200 glitter eye liners but are more convenient for your handbag. There are 6 colours in total and the average price is around £2.99 which is not bad at all. The applicator brush is quite thick so you only get one size line, other glitter eye liners I have tried have a thin brush so you can build it up if you want a dramatic effect, I find with the W7 eye liner you can only go for the dramatic look. One thing that I love about this eye liner is that it does not go watery like the collection 2000 liner and you get a very good amount of glitter with each application. I would like to try the other colours in the collection but if you have never...

Miele magic

Advantages: Superbly built, long guarantee
Disadvantages: small loading drum

...I've been through lots of washing machines in my time. In my poorer newly married stage I bought cheap and cheerful and because there wasn't really that much laundry to do my first washing machine lasted about 7 years (it was an Indesit). After the children arrived we had even less money and in the 8 years since there have been mud encrusted rug rats in the house we've been through 3 'economy' washing machines! When my last one packed up after leaking through the base, and trying to give me electric shocks when I switched it on, I decided that we must invest in a better quality machine. I trawled the web for advice and Miele seemed to be the best solution in terms of money and build. When I went to buy one I was advised to go for the novotronic W526. This was evidently because when the assistant asked me if I used a machine...

Review of Miele W526

Another marvelous washing machine from Miele!

Advantages: Easy to use, good wash results.
Disadvantages: /

...manual drain - Water inlet filter: 2 * Dimensions and Weight: - Height (cm): 85 - Width (cm): 59.5 - Depth (including distance from wall in cm): 63.4 - Depth with door open (cm): 107.4 - Net weight (kg): 99 - Adjustable height (cm): +0.4 / -0.4 * Implementation - Preparation in laundries and dry column possible - Recessed under worksheet is possible (minimal height 85) Overall opinion: At home, we have a Miele W 1714 washing machine and a Miele T 7744 C. Miele is the best brand for washing machines and dryers. It has a German origin. This means is very high quality!!! This also means that you have to pay a lot: 754.631 pounds. Since we are a family with 4 members, we definitely need it. A normal dishwasher lasts for 12-15 years while a Miele last for 20+ years. We like this washing machine a lot!!! It is easy to...

Windows 7 overview

Advantages: Easy to use, Aesthetically pleasing, User friendly
Disadvantages: Not enough variation from vista, no desktop button

...Windows 7 Review With the recent release of the new Microsoft operating system windows 7 many people believe windows vista will be forgotten about with its constant security alerts and lack of user options. The new operating system has many new features which I will run through now. Firstly the new taskbar down at the bottom is a lot easier on the eye as it no longer has any text whatsoever, instead Microsoft have opted to use just the logo of the software the user currently has running. Another improvement to the taskbar is the ability to lock items to the task bar which is a replacement of the quick launch system in Vista, this simply means that you right click click on the logo of the software you want to lock and click ?pin to taskbar? this means that when the program isn?t open it still has an icon on the taskbar and can be...

Get Excited About Washers

Advantages: Looks good, high spin speed, robust and durable
Disadvantages: None

...I dislike washers but I like Miele washers. The reason for this is because they last a long, a very long time and if, like me, you hate shopping for boring household appliances then you?ll love Miele for this reason alone. So when disaster stuck one evening in the form of a leaking toilet, collapsed ceiling (part thereof) and a partly rubble covered washer, boy was I pleased that I?d taken up the offer of 10 months for the price of 12 home insurance. So, my 8 year old Miele washer, which had harmed no one and done a cracking good job for me was no more. The insurance allowed me a like for like washer and of course I chose another Miele, but, the all singing all dancing *new* version, which in all honesty was more expensive but on par with my old machine on specification. £790 eek!! That?s a lot of money for a washer!! I remember...

Windows 7 - The Best OS Yet!

Advantages: Great new toolbar, excellent personalisation, overall brilliant design
Disadvantages: Really similar to Vista.

...In July, I downloaded the Release Candidate of Windows 7 to evaluate the new operating system and I have to say it's the best version of Windows yet! It surpasses Vista in every way. Windows 7 is not available yet but I'm encouraging all Vista uers to upgrade in October as soon as the software is released. In the rest of my review I will outline some of the key features. For starters, the toolbar has been changed dramatically. In previous versions of windows, the active windows (i.e. open programs and applications) would appear seperately as tabs with the symbols and titles of the programs (with the option to group similar windows together under one tab, such as all the internet explorers open). In Windows 7, the toolbar features the start button (the windows logo), followed by programs pinned to the taskbar and open programs, then...

Miele S5281: Don't make a Miele of the housework

Advantages: Specialist cleaning, well made and reliable
Disadvantages: None

...Well, my rubbish old vacuum eventually kicked the bucket so it was time for me to rush out and buy (well, add to my credit card) my beautiful new Miele vacuum having heard rave reviews about them from friends. I checked the which guide and other review sites and found that they were rated very highly which confirmed my choice of make and that just left the model to choose. I decided on the S5281 as it seemed a good, powerful, all-rounder. Then came the hunt to find the best price or deal, having not spent any money for while since having a baby I thought that a purchase of nearly £200 online would guarantee me some good discount, cashback or loyalty points. I found the vacuum for between £195 and £200 in many places and also found it in Argos for £175 - same model number but a slightly different name. I was a bit suspicious so...

Windows 7 - it makes Vista look like a beta

Advantages: smooth, quick, easy to install and use, pretty to look at, simplified for the masses
Disadvantages: Vista should have been like this - Microsoft robbed us!

...can customise it with your own images to give W7 your own personal touch. Its nice. Yet not system heavy. Windows 7 just feels better in all honesty. Quicker, smoother, Sleeker. I have the 64 bit version of Home Premium installed and that?s all you need on a modern PC. The box comes with the 32bit version for old pcs too though. There is no real need for ultimate. Windows Vista Ultimate had a lot more to offer, but you only seem to need Windows 7 Ultimate if you are a corporation or connect directly to a domain. Just google to see the differences. The average home user, even gamer, only needs Home Premium. Its worth the money too, from what I?ve seen so far. Im sure there?s a lot I haven?t found yet. Just wish my work place ran it too, would make life a lot easier with the snappy features....
