Re: Cooker – Inc. Dirty Pic

Absolutely fantastic info don,

Thank you so much.

I had my brother in-laws neighbour over to see about running an electrical supply for built-under double electric. A-OK, no probs with that.

Situation now stands as

GAS: Hob
Electric: Oven and grill

Help: side ‘Wall to wall’ space is exactly 55.6 cm (I.e width of mainbody of unit).

Can anyone recommend particular units from memory that would work in this space?

Thanks,

Lincon

Regards the oven/hob you’d best contact a local gas installer who will be best suited to advise. 💡

Thanks Martin,

I should’ve mentioned that I will certainly be seeking the advise of a gas installer or two in person (eyes on survey first).

But I do feel I need some help in understanding the whole range of possibilities here first. Mulitple input, from those that have to deal with cookers when they go wrong is invaluable.

It would be very helpful to gain some insight from experts on the forums regards the key choices moving forward.

1.The key thing here is quality of use.

Gas or electric (& why if wiliing to share)

Which brands, (given the dimensions mentioned) would you be willing to recommend for your loved ones?

My genuine thanks to anyone that contributes.

Lincon.

Martin – Quite Right.

Corrected my post.

Warm thanks,

I’m intrigued,

How would you have repaired the fractured tub to the point that it would be structurally sound again? I had no idea this sort of thing would be possible!

Or do you mean simply swap out the tub?

Thanks,

About 6 six years old.

When we removed it for disposal, we put it in the car on its side, and from underneath we could see the plastic drum had cracked! This was the only issue with the machine!

Went for the Siemens due to the 5 year warranty.

Yes sealed drum, but it has the quality of a Bosch with a free 5 year warranty!

My thanks to all those that contributed and helped. It really made a difference.

Re: New Washing Machine – Recommendations?

Brill!

Okay so if I go for a Bosch, and after reading that the WAQ tubs can’t be opened to change the bearings, are there any of the mid range versions close to £500 – £550 that can?

Any specific recommendations would be fab too!

Cheers!

Re: New Washing Machine – Recommendations?

Thanks for that kwatt!

I had a read – very insightful – and I understand your point.

We have long term guests (a couple with kids – lodgers).

It will go down to five adults in the next month.

I wish we could spend more than £550, but any more cash is simply not there.

So please put forward any suggestions and specific recommendations – we need some guidance!

Cheers!
