    Didn't say I trusted him ;) he is a salesman.

    Just thought he was good.


    Wish I'd bought one with a decent instruction book, it doesn't behave how I would expect. I put it on #2 and it washed for over an hour with no detergent, then introduced detergent and washed for only 4 minutes before starting the rinse cycle.

    Have emailed customer service to find out if this is correct.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))

    If you want a quality machine then Miele is the choice I would recommend. Very very well built German washing machines. Failing that Bosch do some good ones too I think. Sounds like a Skoda, VW incident with the Indesit & Hotpoint.

    I had a bush from Argos, the cheapest they had at about £200.
    It's great and has been through 3 house moves so far. Easy to work, easy to hook up, cold water only though, btu I put everything on the eco wash which works well.
