Carried away with the steaming iron
Review of Breville IR73 by
aspebbles
Advantages: Light and easily maneouverable
Disadvantages: Some small niggles
Its the old story. When my trusty iron of five years faithful service finally packed in, it was time to buy a new one. Loathe to spend to much of my precious weekend and hard earned dosh trawling through the shops, I headed straight to my local Co-op supe ...

Quick review of John Lewis JLTDC09
Review of John Lewis JLTDC09 by
Knowthefacts
Beware, this machine is not as described.
It is 625mm deep, not the 60cm now shown or the 58cm shown at the we bought on the John Lewis site.
It is described as being manufactured with German Technology but JL eventually admitted that it is made by Electrolux, based in Sweden and making brands like Tricity Bendix and Indesit. We had to send the dryer back so no idea whether it dries but the description is misleading. We had to contact the CEO's office to get this sorted.
Goods should be described accurately so one star.
The team who delivered were good but the guys who collected it caused damage.

Quick review of Tobi Steamer
Review of Tobi Steamer by
Clotilde
It's IMPOSSIBLE to hold the garment properly w/the hanger swinging. You need serious heat proof gloves to handle it because the possibility of burning your hand is 99% An absolutel waste of money in my opinion and real misrepresentation of product.

Leaky HHD780X ... and this is the second one!
Review of Hoover HHD 780 X by
El_Batsab
Advantages: Dries quickly and quietly.
Disadvantages: Condensed moisture leaks everywhere.
It does away with the need to empty the condenser chamber or duct to outside.
Very simple to plumb in to existing plumbing and it's very easy to use.
It does the job of drying extremely well, and quietly too. However ...
We are on our second HHD7 ...

Review of Russell Hobbs 13391 Steam Glide 2400 by
lornasaccount1
Absolutely dreadful iron - thermostat gone within a year, damaged clothes, plate of iron ruined. Very heavy. Phoned customer services, totally disinterested, unhelpful and in light of this I shall never buy another of their products again - EVER!

Quick review of Beko DRVS62
Review of Beko DRVS62 by
gerenmoor
Cheap but with a number of serious drawbacks.
Filter design is poor - it fills up and has to be emptied regularly, needing pointed object to get fluff out of little nooks and crannies. If filter is full, it continues tumbling with heater switched off - power wasting.
The sensor stops the drier while the washing is still damp. Need to keep turning the washing around so the sensor can feel the damp bits!
Thermostat on mine broke because the door was opened while it was still running (warns you not to do this in the manual, but not all family members have time to read the manual, do they).
Simply put, far too delicate a machine for the job in a normal household.

great little good value for money machine
Review of Hotpoint V3D00 Aquarius by
lkmc01
Advantages: small, good make, very easy to use. both clockwise and anticlockwise drying
Disadvantages: 3kg only
I bought this machine just over a year ago from currys for £100. I was a straight off the shelve display model. Works fine no problems. Only a 3kg dry though, but I can fit most of my 7kg wash into it. Has a cool and a hot heat button. Has a 10 minute coo ...

Quick review of Zanussi-Electrolux WJD1667
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux WJD1667 by
christie8899
This is a very easy to use washer dryer with a very quiet wash and dry cycle.
The 1600 spin really helps remove excess water speeding up drying times.
Great to have access to the filter at the front of the machine, which a lot of other makes do not have.

Zanussi Tumble Dryer: ZDE46130W
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZDC 46130 by
misseskimo
Advantages: Easy to use, easy to clean filters
Disadvantages: End of programme and water tank full alarm can drive you a bit crazy!
I bought this last year whilst renovating my new flat. I hadn't had a tumble dryer before and so although I wanted a cheap machine for the few times I would use it, I also wanted to get a good machine that I could stick in the cupboard out of the way. ...

Try not to WIDL yourself.
Review of Indesit WIDL 126 S by
ryanando
Advantages: Clean clothes
Disadvantages: Buttons everywhere, no digital display
Washing machines have always been a pain in the ass for me. And not even in that fun kind of way.
Washing machines have always been there since the dawn of time, lurking in the background just waiting to strike. When not munching on half a pair of soc ...
