    Is this a replacement for your coin damaged, sealed drum Hoover/Candy?

    If so the bearings have failed rather quickly, 😛

    Sadly this one also has the dreaded sealed drum. :rolls:

    Many thanks for the info..

    Its a nightmare with the new machines…

    Luckly no this wasn’t a replacement machine, it was machine I was offered..

    Are there any of the current machines with still have separate drums .. and non of this sealed rubbish.

    Curenntly gone back to a hoover hnl 6166.. not the best but at least its more serviceable than the current stuff out there..

    The Ise looks more appealing every day 🙂

    Most of the Bosch range have split drums.

    The problem is that unless you know the exact model its hard to tell, practically all Hotpoint/Indesit/Candy/Hoover are welded drums now.

    At least one model of Bosch machine has a sealed drum as do lots of Whirlpool and Zanussi amongst the ‘mainstream’ brand names.
