Was wondering if anyone had this yet and was it any good.

My Blomberg does a wash in 14 minutes for 'lightly soiled' items. To be honest, I have only used it a few times for Mr P's shirts and it wasn't that good.
The shirts don't even get dirty, he just likes to put a fresh one on each day.
I honestly couldn't wash anything 'lightly soiled' through on that was cycle as it just doesn't seem clean. I tried using more powder, but then he just got this irritated skin rash from it not being rinsed properly.
Not economical really as I imagine if you try and wear something more than once, it wouldn't seem clean at all.

I always thought machines took way too long. This new one thats out has twin jets or something so maybe its different to yours. Its a bit new to get a lot of reviews yet.
Hmmn, clutch or new washing machine?
Just get back out in the garden and finish the mens work!

These days I wouldn't bother repairing a washing machine unless it's less than £40-£50.
My Blomberg is a cracking machine. I paid £320 for the machine with 3 years parts and labour, so in theory of it only last three years it's only cost £100 (give or take) a year.
Like you I never use the 'fast spin' it really is not needed, a 1200 is sufficient, and a 1600 does no more than a 1400 as they cam only get so dry from the spin.
I always wash at 40 unless it's bedclothes.

If I have anything loitering in my wardrobe long enough to get musty I usually give it to charity, or bung in on eBay with a 99p start just to see some return on it.

I just chuck everything in on number 10 and hope for the best. I did come a cropper the other day though when my 4 year olsd son threw up at 2 o clock in the morning. I chust chucked all his bed clothes in the washing machine, then had to spend the next day picking chunks of puke out of the washing machine.

I usually give them a rinse with the shower first to get rid of any chunks.

Mine's (well, Wifey's ) is one of those Hotpoint things with a fookin huge LCD in it (my only demand - when I do washing I need to be able to understand the hieroglyphics on the controls!!! I screen with idiot-proof instructions is perfect)
It's silent, economical and reliable (of which by all accounts, is a rarity with Hotpoint stuff)....
