Re: ISE wash times increasing?
Right thanks, well I’ll just have to remember not to set that particular cycle going too close to bedtime…
Re: ISE wash times increasing?
Actually just noticed that the manual lists the normal 60 time as 3:15 which is the longest possible wash time – longer than the Heavy 95 which includes a pre wash and 2 extra rinses and presumably spends longer heating water!
I assumed this was a misprint when I first read the manual.
So if this is just how long this cycle takes, why does that particular cycle take so long, and why does the machine mislead me into thinking it will only take 2:20 when I start it going?
Re: Washing machine performance
I guess it’s really like anything mechanical – small differences in design and quality can add up to a noticeable difference in performance. Like comparing any two cars – if they’re working correctly both will get you from A to B, but they will have different acceleration, different steering, different suspension, etc. More expensive models tend to have more refinement and therefore a more consistent, high-quality performance.
Re: Bosch WTW86560GB heat pump dryer?
Right then. I’ve spent the weekend cleaning my new house and thinking about various purchases.
Bearing in mind what you said and a few other practicalities, I decided that there is space in the kitchen/dining room for a washer and a dryer. But it will have to be a condenser dryer as it’s not near an exterior wall.
So I think I’m going to take the plunge and get both the ISE washer and dryer. Presumably I won’t be disappointed 🙂
Thanks for the help again.
Re: Bosch WTW86560GB heat pump dryer?
Granted. But if there was adequate ventilation in the cupboard (e.g. intake vent from outside or a vent in the cupboard door) would there be a problem?
I guess I need to wait till I’ve moved in and figured out the best way to use the space before I start ordering things…
Re: Bosch WTW86560GB heat pump dryer?
Thanks again.
Thinking about it, it may be possible to install the dryer in a small utility cupboard in the house (I’ve not moved in yet so haven’t measured to check the space), but obviously I couldn’t use a condenser dryer in a confined space. But this cupboard has an outside wall so could install a vented dryer.
I’ll wait to see how things work out when I’ve moved but I might end up getting a mid-range vented dryer – I guess Bosch or something.
Re: Bosch WTW86560GB heat pump dryer?
Again thanks for the useful advice, and the link.
You’re right I probably don’t do enough drying to make the energy savings of the heat pump type economically or environmentally worth it (in summer I try to dry outside where possible…).
Does the same logic apply to cheap dryers as cheap washers, i.e. a £200 one is likely to be badly made and break in short order being uneconomic to repair? Aren’t dryers mechanically a lot simpler than washers? I can definitely see the advantages of buying a well made £900 ISE washer but justifying £750 for a dryer is harder.
I really do value your input so thanks in advance.
Re: American style frost free fridge freezer
Thanks for that, you may have saved me a lot of money and hassle.
Are LG any good? If not then maybe I’ll be better off sticking with boring separate British-style fridge and freezer (don’t have the budget to spend £2000 or whatever on this…)
Re: ISE 1607W buying advice
Yep, I emailed the address listed for them, they don’t supply ISE any more and apparently have asked to be removed from the dealer list.
Also emailed the one listed in Bradford but not got a reply yet.
I will probably just order from the UK Whitegoods shop.

What’s wrong with Samsung?
Seriously, I am moving home next week and was thinking of getting one. We have one in the office at work and it seems OK. Also Samsung get great reviews for their TVs and other electronics, are their fridges not up to the same standards?
