Samsung washer dryer

Advantages: Easy to use, mega quiet,great looking, superb wash results.
Disadvantages: the only tiny minor thing is to pull the fluff out of the bottom of the rubber lip drain holes .

...I bought this machine two weeks ago, from Dixons online at a very good price including delivery ( and they delivered on a sunday !). The machine was a replacement for a Zanussi washer, which i know to be reliable and good quality. (I used to sell white goods for two big electrical retailers and know exactly what to look for,what you get for your money and what to steer well clear of.) So, it was a total change for me to get a Samsung,not what you would initially think of when someone says "washer dryer". The machine appealed to me in two ways, Looks- is it possible to have a sexy washer dryer? YES it is now! and secondly washing and drying performance A/B ( it cant get any better than that. The large door is great for loading and unloading,especially bedding, no more fraught pulling against the rubber seal. The machine IS...

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...

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...

Review of ELC Washing Machine

Move over Smeg, Fagor has arrived! - Fagor Washer Dryer

Advantages: Excellent features. Ease of use. Quiet. Reliable. Excellent warranty!
Disadvantages: Expensive outlay, unfamiliar brand but this is NOT a problem!

...One day when I was having lunch at Yo Sushi I got a rather frantic phone call from my partner. The washer dryer had decided to spark, smoke and set itself alight during the drying process. Once the electric was isolated the fire went out, however I was far from impressed. I didn't want to even chance getting this fixed so off I went on a search for a new washer dryer. It can be a bit of a minefield out there in kitchen appliance land with many stores offering deals on 100's of machines! Eventually I discovered a local electrical warehouse and called them direct, they soon presented a number of machines that would be suitable and at a good budget. I went straight down to have a look and came back with my new Fagor! Unpacking and Setup Rather than await delivery and take time off work for the white van man to take his time to show up...

Review of Fagor FUS 6116 IT

Dolly helps with the washing!

Advantages: Use less detergent, power and water
Disadvantages: Can be noisy

...Anything that saves money these days just HAS to be a good idea - and if, at the same time; you are doing a little bit to help the environment - so much the better. This was my thought when I decided to look for the Dolly Washer Balls - something I had previously seen on television some ten to twelve years ago. I will admit that I thought they were a good idea at the time but I was already using highly concentrated detergents and didn't get them. When searching Lakeland recently (for something entirely different) I came across them again and decided to give them a try. So, what ARE Dolly Washer Balls? They are similar in appearance to something that you would give your dog to play with (best to keep them out of his way). They are two inches (5cm) in diameter and made of thermoplastic synthetic rubber which is, apparently...

Review of Lakeland Dolly Washer Balls

Happy washer

Advantages: clean clothes
Disadvantages: none so far

...After the door broke on my washing machine and had to be forced open so that I could get my washing out. I decided it was time to go and buy a new washing machine. I like to shop around for a good deal before I spend my hard earned cash on expensive items, as most washing machines cost from £200 upwards depending on where you buy and which size washing machine you go for. So after checking out the main stores, Currys, Argos and Comet I spotted a Zanussi 12070W 1200 spin on offer at Comet for £230 if you bought it and took it away the same day. Now, I'm a bit dubious when it comes to the larger stores sales as most of the time you find the item you want go to get it only to be told it's not in stock and that a similar product is usually a little more expensive, which is what happened when I went to get my washing machine. The next...

Review of Zanussi ZWF 12070

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...This machine is simply a must if you want to tone yourself up and not have the hassle of going to the gym for hours each week! I bought one of these off Ebay, and now so glad i did. Its simply an amazing piece of kit. My Personal Experience At first i thought, surely this machine cant be as good as i've been reading all over the net, people must be exagerating and just trying to sell the machine. How wrong i was.... The first time i used this, i trained at level 10 (ranges from 1-20) thinking i can take it at that level no problem, and sure enough i was ok, i did a few different positions for my legs, stomache and arms. I trained for about 10 minutes, as i wanted to see how much this would actualy do, and sales reports tell me that 10minutes of using this machine is equivelent to 1 hour at the gym. Boy oh boy did i feel it...

Review of Crazy Fit Vibration Massage Plate Exercise Machine

hotpoint aquarius washer dryer wd440

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: many too many to mention

...I have had this washer dryer for three years...In my opinion three years too long. In fact the first one i had lasted one month before it broke down, the retailer immediately replaced it with a new one...This should have warned me of things to come! Since then i have had the engineers out well over 6 times luckily i purchased insurance...The faults I have had are as follows :- leaking, no heat ( twice) very noisy knocking noise, not spinning and blocking up...there is no access point for the filter so you have to get the engineer in to take the machine apart and unblock it!! Not only have i had these faults in my opinion the machine is extremely noisy...And finally, what prompted me to write this review It has just taken the dryer 3 hours to dry three towels that were barely damp...I know that washer dryers cant be compared to dryers...
