Fastest washing machine, 12 min cycle...
 

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-sto...5875-22994489/

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

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.

Mods, could you re-name this thread "Fao Wimmins", please ;)

Its only me and my daughter at home 90% of the time so i am not washing anything too dirty. I always use the shortest cycle on mine but the spin is slower so i either catch it before the final spin and change the setting or do it after its finished so i am prolly using loads of extra electricity.

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? :wonder: :D

Just get back out in the garden and finish the mens work! :lol1:

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.

Years ago big white goods used to be more repairable but now its a joke. You cant even repair your own hoover anymore. Luckily my stuff has always lasted pretty well, its just my cars that are unlucky lol :o

I was at 30 if i can and everything is always clean.......touching wood :thumb:

the 15 min cycle is great for when something has been in the wardrobe clean but needs a freshen up, I also do lot of my car cloths etc on the 15 min cycle.

Car cloths? I leave mine on the hedge till they blow away. :D

Febreeze conditioner (sp) is great for freshening up washing.............i could sniff it all day. :thumb:

You must have a lot of clothes!

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.

That is an expensive wash you really should get a more economical machine :D

Haha!!

I hadn't even noticed that.

Who`s there the other 10% of the time:wonder:

The fairies of course!

Do they not visit your house?

Someone very dirty :p



Men dont have a clue do they? :wonder: :D

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 would have flushed them down the loo at that time of the morning. :p

Ah well, lesson learned.

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

Yep lesson learned, next time give the missus a kick then roll over and pretend I'm asleep:lol1:

Also he is 4 now I don't know when his sick transitioned to that ickle bay sick that I did not mind clearing up, to this vast lake of chunks that smells like it came straight from hell.

Put his food in the blender before you give it to him :D

Washing Machine you say ? ... ........ I will ask the wife when she has finished my dinner.
Its one of the gadgets I paid for by dont know how to use ... I have seen it though in the utility room ... next to her Tumble Dryer



She spoilt isnt she

Oh yes, your wife is blessed. :D

Does she have a dishwasher too? :D

She does and her new upright freezer will be delivered in the morning ...
Dyson Ball under the stairs too, the spoilt cow

Not too fussed about speed, but sound. My AEG is virtually silent

Mine is in the garage, so I couldn't give a fig how it sounds or what the foof it looks like as long as it washes my clothes properly.

:)

Mine's (well, Wifey's :D ) 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)....
