Re: what is a SINGLE chest freezer?
Sorry for the delay in responding – it turned out to be a very small one, 55cm wide! thanks for your help.
Re: Need help with Bosch & Siemens product codes please
Thanks again, Martin. Just one last question (at least for now): I got the impression that the last listed model (SIWAMAT) had been in the storeroom for some years, and it was also a German model with German wording on control panel. I’m a bit concerned that if it IS old, we’ll struggle to get parts for it in a few years – as I’m hoping it may last close to 10 years (or is that optimistic?). Would it be as safe to buy this one, the cheapest we were quoted, as any of the other apparently newer models?
Re: Need help with Bosch & Siemens product codes please
That was quick, Martin! Thanks. Any idea where I can access info on these models (specs)?
Don’t you believe that we don’t need well-spun clothes here! In summer, of course, you can almost WEAR them wet & they’ll dry on you, but winter is another story altogether. It’s wet/damp & cold (mainly due to wind chill) & clothes can take a good while to dry, often indoors. We’re out all day, so have to leave them indoors if there’s any likelihood of rain in the day. Or sometimes just to stop the wind ripping them off the line & blowing them to North Africa! But I have read that the new, high speeds are overrated, hammer clothes, and that nothing above about 1200 rpm is going to make much difference anyway, so I thought 1000 was fine for us.
I could post the prices I’ve been quoted (already discounted, apparently) if you or anyone else has an idea whether they’re good prices?
Any other info much appreciated. Would you know whether there’s much difference between the models? I’m inclined to avoid DIGITAL in the belief that non-digital would be easier to fix in the event of a problem. Would that be accurate?
By the way, I was also surprised that 5kg models were impossible to find! They’re all 6 or (most) 7kg models, which worries me after reading how the working bits have to be squeezed in to corners etc. with the bigger drum capacity. Is this correct?
SO grateful for your help. It’s wonderful to have somewhere to ask questions, and informed replies! Thanks.
Re: Mid price range machine recommendation please?
Good advice, Jim. Thanks. Sales assistants here are not generally very forthcoming with hard info (or perhaps it’s just because I’m female, & attitudes in the backwoods are still rather sexist) but I’ll try.
Re: Mid price range machine recommendation please?
Thanks, Jim. We’ll buy from a local shop. Costs are very high compared to UK & we’re too remote for online shopping here (they may deliver on the mainland, but certainly not in the islands) unfortunately, but it’s still cheaper than buying in the UK & shipping it out.
Re: Freezer advice needed please
Been looking through the forum threads & discovered that Miele freezers are Liebherr made. What’s the difference in the products, in general terms? Are the specs for Mieles higher or lower generally than Liebherrs? Be grateful for any info.
And a big THANK YOU to those of you who’ve already responded, as well as to all who’ve made this great forum available to the likes of me. Can’t tell you what a help it’s been!
Re: Freezer advice needed please
Thanks, Kwatt. Could you offer an opinion about which makes are best?
Re: What capacity/volume needed for duvet washing?
Thanks, KWatt. By blanket I mean the old-fashioned thing, sometimes made of wool but in this case acrylic. It’s thick but not puffy like a duvet, and isn’t a cover of any sort. I suspect it would overload a 5 or 6 kg machine.
Re: What capacity/volume needed for duvet washing?
Sorry if this seems a dumb question, but would a double blanket (acrylic) be just as impossible?
