Tricity Bendix

Advantages: Inexpensive, efficient model
Disadvantages: none

...I watched the sad demise of our last washer dryer after having served us for a less than 2 years? least said soonest mended. So began a frantic search for an immediate replacement and armed with the words from Himself "just get one which washes, we don't need the all singing all dancing model", I bought this model. At a cost of £199 with only £5 delivery charge (same day), this was too good an opportunity to miss, and meant that I wouldn't have to inflict washing on my friends and family. **The Model ** The machine itself is white automatic front loading with a large porthole window and a door which opens out to the left using a pull back hinge. The detergent and fabric conditioner drawer is located in the top left hand corner as it is on most other automatic washing machines., and in the bottom right hand corner is...

Tricity Bendix EcoSaviour

Advantages: Slim design easily fits into most kitchens
Disadvantages: Awkward to fit some rounder shaped bowls in

...This slimline design dishwasher was our first dishwasher experience. Do you remember yours? The bliss of putting away the marigolds is reason enough to sing this little machine's virtues from the tree tops! From a practical point of view we have found the smaller capacity a bonus as it fills up quickly enough for our family without having to have smelly dishes waiting to be cleaned or half empty dishwashers being put though a whole cycle (not very eco saving!). We usually just use the normal programme (3) and only occasionally find food left behind. This is often down to our useless filling and stacking technique, putting pan handles shoved up against plates so they are too close together etc. There are two wire baskets to fill up with handy bits to hold plates, however this sometimes proves problamatic when putting...

Review of Tricity Bendix EcoSave Dishwasher

I love my machine!

Advantages: Washes perfectly
Disadvantages: A little slow

...Bought this machine just before Christmas 2005 and I LOVE it. Went for the Tricity Bendix again as my previous washing machine served me for 12 good years of continual use (only changed it as it was looking dated - its still going strong now with a neighbour). The features are excellent - none of that unecessary digital doings, this just does what it needs to. A good selection of programmes that keep whites WHITE. The cycles do take almost two hours for an ordinary 40 degree wash - but it takes larger loads and has a great spin speed. This would be a great machine for the larger family where loads are slightly larger, but also ideal for single person, couple or small family. A basic looking machine with great features - buy one today! This machine is so quiet!!...

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 Tricity Bendix

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

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

Pretending to wash dolly's clothes

Advantages: Good for promoting pretend play
Disadvantages: none

...Little Children are fascinated by washing machines. I have known many babies pacified by watching the washing go round and round. However this washing machine is not for really washing it is a toy, no need to panic when your little ones touch the buttons on it. You can buy this toy washing machine for your Childs house play from the E L C it costs £12.50. Your two year old should be happy playing with this. My grandson had a similar one when he was two. . I have seen this toy washing machines in house corners in an educational /play setting. A child up to eight year old will probably still enjoy playing with it This washing machine is a blue plastic .It has a clear circular door that is trimmed with red. The buttons on the front for switching it on, changing programmers are red too. There is a little soap dispenser draw that...
