Re: Talk laundry to me
I’m still using the Bosch washing machine that I bought when I moved into this house in 2001. It’s had one repair to fix the door latch but otherwise hasn’t been looked at or serviced since purchase. I do on average one load per week, so it’s done about 1,000 loads so far.

Re: Talk laundry to me
Yes, I think you're right Ella, as I googled them and saw industrial looking ones like in a laundrette.

Re: Talk laundry to me
I also have a 9kg Ecobubble which is brilliant. I like it's cheery I'm done tune, and also that you have a few minutes grace at the start to pause and add forgotten stuff. The countdown is accurate.
I don't have a tumble dryer.
The eco washes are longer than normal, aren't they? Because if you reduce temperature/vigour etc you need to increase the time to get things clean.

Re: Talk laundry to me
Is that why you hear about dryer fires / lint trap fires so much more in the States? I thought it was just because they (seemingly) dry loads rather than hanging them out much more.

I killed that after the first wash.

Re: Talk laundry to me
I was going to say this. The eco was on mine takes about 4 hours. But clothes come out much drier so it takes less tumble time.

Re: Talk laundry to me
I also have an eco bubble and it seems to be holding fairly well after 5+ years. Our clothes never really dry as much as I would like (we don’t have a separate dryer) but I’m fairly certain that’s because A has knackered the filter by constantly leaving coins in his pockets when he puts his trousers in the wash.

Re: Talk laundry to me
Any updates on this thread? Our Bosch washing machine is flashing an error message . The engineer is due out on Thursday to look at it but we might need to replace it.
Ideally we’d get a washer/dryer (no room for both) but they are £££s and I have a feeling a recentish thread decided they weren’t really worth it. I’ll search for it properly but has anyone got one they’re really pleased with?
How are the Ecobubbles holding up? I am concerned about Mayday’s but if that’s an outlier will get over it

I got the Samsung Ecobubble and it's been great. Mine isn't a washer dryer though.

It does, thanks Hazey
In doing my own research I have discovered washing machines that steam which I am finding very exciting. No idea if it’s any use but I am easily led . I am off to try to find out more.

Re: Talk laundry to me
My old LG had a steam function I used it on clothes that needed a refresh/delicates/dry clean only. Anything that wasn't worn directly next to skin.

I have an Ecobubble washer-dryer and it's still going strong. Just coming up to 7 years old.

Re: Talk laundry to me
We really need a new washer dryer we thought we found the ideal one but it seems Argos have discontinued it even though it's still on their website. It's a Bush one so unavailable elsewhere
Back to the drawing board we go

My current 2007 Samsung has started to emit a burning smell if it deems there is too much in it.
Are Ecobubbles still the dogs nuts?
I'm looking for something quiet, and has a standard wash time no longer than approximately 90 minutes.

Re: Talk laundry to me
My new steam LG is very fast. Would recommend. It also sings a song when it's done. :cheerful:
Actually, my favourite thing is that I don't have to put washing liquid in each time. I just fill it up once in a while.

Re: Talk laundry to me
I have the EcoBubble as when I researched them it JUST pipped the LG (what I'd previously had), nothing wrong with it but I've only had it six months or so. I bought the one that you can add to the wash.

Re: Talk laundry to me
Our Bosch was bought less than 4 years ago and needs a new drum fitting. We do about 7 times as many washes as you though.H1ppychick wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 9:38 pm I’m still using the Bosch washing machine that I bought when I moved into this house in 2001.

Re: Talk laundry to me
My Ecobubble is great but my standard wash is 2:21. I think mine is about five years old now.
