Re: Bosch WAE28467GB: Faint crackling on slow spin
Nope no bang…all three bolts and collars removed (collars being the white things with hooks on them to hold the waste pipe during transit?). It did bang when I moved the machine while getting it off its packaging because I’d left the collars in…didn’t know they had to come out, my first new machine! But they were out before the machine was sited and powered on 🙂
Re: Bosch WAE28467GB: Faint crackling on slow spin
Would the brushes being new cause this problem to occur even when the drum is spinning down? When the drum is spinning down (and up for that matter), there is a point where there is a lot more ‘movement’ to the drum, at this point I can hear it when it is spinning back down.
Its done the empty wash, two washes on cottons-stains with wash plus, and just now a wash on cottons with no wash plus. Do love the machine so far, clothes come out so much drier than from my 9 year old Ariston which packed in, causing the impulse purchase of said Bosch! Feel softer too, towels felt all stiff from old machine, same detergent!
Really hoping the machine doesn’t have a problem, as a swap means waiting in etc. Guess I’ll wash clothes more often for a few days to get more use out of it in it’s early days to wear it in.
….and that loads just finished! Just had a quick look. If I spin the drum by hand I hear no odd noises, but if I move the drum sideways I hear what sounds like tapping, and it continues as the drum stops moving on its suspension. Sounds like either just the suspension, or maybe a wire loom touching the tank? Doesn’t sound like something to be worrying about, or does it…?
Re: Cannon C60ETX & Hotpoint EW84X, same appliance?
Well the cooker will have to wait til next month, but I got my Bosch WAE28467GB washer today! 🙂
Done the program it suggests be done on first use with an empty load, now just washing a load of cottons, using the Cottons-Stains program as suggested in the manual, with the Wash Plus feature.
No idea if that’s the ‘best’ wash program for the job, I used to just use ‘medium cottons’ on my Ariston before it packed in!
Re: Cannon C60ETX & Hotpoint EW84X, same appliance?
Hi don…had a feeling of daja vu, so looked at my old posts and you posted something similar in reply to me before!
Sadly my previous plans were put on the back burner (as it were!) but am now almost ready to take the plunge and spend a small fortune on our first cooker!
I’m glad I checked here before ordering, I had no idea there were such substantial differences between the two appliances, being effectively the same units.
Despite being made by the same people, and looking the same, they really are that much difference? Around this sort of price range, is the Cannon still the best to for? Is it worth spending any more on a 60cm wide electric cooker?
Cheers (again!)
Re: Need a 60CM freestanding electric, any advice?
Yeah, was thinking of a Bosch WVD24520 Washer Dryer and a Bosch KGN39X01GB. Both are white, but are available in silver for an extra price jump. But theres a £35 discount for buying two Bosch appliances 🙂
It’s all going on 12 months interest free. It’s either that or buying rubbish that’ll probably be in a landfill 2 years down the line!
You mention Hotpoint…they don’t seem to be liked a great deal here, or are there some models that are actually good?
Cheers 🙂
Re: Need a 60CM freestanding electric, any advice?
I’m getting all three 😉 I don’t have any of them at the moment, just a small fridge and a microwave!
Re: Need a 60CM freestanding electric, any advice?
Guess it’ll have to be the Cannon then!
C60ETX? Don’t fancy the cream one, so it’ll have to be the Stainless Steel 🙂 Will it look ‘ok’ with a white WD and FF, or is it worth getting silvers of those too?
Re: Need a 60CM freestanding electric, any advice?
Guess I’m gonna have to pop into Comet for a looksie then! Really shouldn’t buy a cooker blind 😉
Any idea what differerence, if any, there is between the two ranges, C60EKS and C60ETX.
I was originally looking for a model with a multi-function main oven, but can’t remember why, been without one for so long, and I come from gas 🙁 Probably something to do with pizzas! As much as I’d love an Induction hob, Ceramic with at least one halogen spot for a little more control, again, coming from gas 🙁
Any idea what Solarglo is?
Cheers for the help so far!
Re: Need a 60CM freestanding electric, any advice?
Hmm, arent Cannon really Indesit, and Belling really Beko these days?
Does the Cannon really feel that much better than the Belling? I’ll probably end up going to see them before buying online, but i’d like to get some information from a few boffins here first, rather than listening to some sales assistant drival!
Do the Belling cookers have a tinny sound to them these days then?
Re: Bosch WVD24520GB and Siemens WD12D520GB combi, any diffe
Will be giving them a call on Monday morning!
I’m guessing the prices will be above that of online, but with much better support? 8)Cheers for all the advice so far guys
Re: Bosch WVD24520GB and Siemens WD12D520GB combi, any diffe
Cheers for the advice!
Will be ordering asap then!
Need to look in the fridge freezer section as I need one of them too! Get a Bosch also?
Re: Bosch WVD24520GB and Siemens WD12D520GB combi, any diffe
Awww 🙁
Much as I’d prefer to get separates, there just isn’t the room 🙁 I know the combi’s aren’t as good performing as dryers, but anything is better than drip drying at the moment!
If the washer can get enough water out of the garments, I could get away with just getting a clothes rack for drying…
Is there any reason at all to get the Siemens over the Bosch? I’d prefer silver to be honest, but its almost £100 more, and I’d have to do the same with the cooker and fridge freezer, which would be a nightmare!
Re: Bosch WVD24520GB and Siemens WD12D520GB combi, any diffe
If this one has a 5 year parts warranty, it may sway my decision!
If its 2 like the Bosch, then I’ll just get that one as they appear to be identical in other respects except the fascia 🙂
Re: Bosch WVD24520GB and Siemens WD12D520GB combi, any diffe
Thanks for the advice.
Can find the WVT1260GB for £379.
Any real difference aside from the larger screen/less buttons on the WVD24520GB? Unless the 1260 is available cheaper, I don’t mind paying the extra £20 for the 2450 🙂I’m sure I read that the Siemens models have 5 year parts warranty as standard, or am I wrong?
Cheers!
