Thought Lee8 would be in it? Surprised to have not seen his comments.

Anyway, as I’m ‘an old person’ I thought I would venture past the rows of washers and try the door releases as I went. (To aid this very crucial survey). Stricken with arthritis and a dodgy back plus untold degrees of complex medical problems too numerous to bother you with I had no trouble opening and closing any of the doors. (Though the Hotpoint Aqualitis, LG Steam thingy, Miele and one Siemens weren’t plugged in and needed to be plugged it to operate). Their ‘Essentials’ brand (looked like Vestel rubbish) was already broken anyway.(some OAP vandalism probably).
I went mad and spent a fiver on a Logik Jug Kettle by the way but will dock it from their wages anyway, no worries there. :clown:
I’m impressed that you decided to carry out the research and put yourself into the mindset and frame of an old person. Were you wearing thick gloves and beer glass goggles?
While most machines are easy to open and operate but it is easy to forget that all those modern technology such as delay timer, select the wash program then select the temperature then select the spin, while all of those can easily leave old people feeling flummoxed. Once you have taken that on board, you will be surprised that there aren’t many machines that really caters for old people. Basic Bosch washer, basic hotpoint washer with extra large handle, Chinese made Zanussi are all the ones that targets old people.
Oh, there’s the dishwasher as well but don’t even start there! If I ever dared to venture that territory, I shall be recommending that this old person to be put into a home as modern machines will not meet their basic requirements!
It opened up my eyes and I have seen it first hand and with the ever growing number of old people as my customers with their 10-15-20 years old appliances are coming to an end of their working life.

They may be the best but they have terrible reputation which was why I wouldn’t sell it.

Great day out, shame I didn’t win that microwave or set of pans or iron or Purple Polly deals. Maybe next time eh?
Best event ever!

I’ve never been to the two addresses, so I’m safe on this one. I think I might be asked to compile a report about the job as there was intensive damage to the kitchen due to leaking inlet hose for the last two years.
I could not return the machine back to the position in case of the wood/flooring dries out and the weight of the machine may fall through it. The water was holding the floor together!

Thanks Mate,
Martin from Connections found it for me, I got a bit too impatient. Lots to do today and so little time.

Re: Rent girl…ever felt had..
I’ve lost a landlord of 4 years relationship just before Christmas. The aggro was over a certain part for the oven which I could not get it until the new year. This led me to review the all the jobs I’ve done for him, he did pay promptly but we were at the stage that the appliances were on their last leg and expects me to prolong the life of it. A bit tricky to do that when the screws no longer held tight together.
They are not worth the hassle.

I think my son saw an opportunity and doesn’t care of the minor details. His concern is at the moment where to get some more pulley wheels.
I could buy some but these are £15 a pop. I love my son very much but I ain’t spending £45 on wheels.
Re: Hoover built in dishwasher – leaking heater
It’s all very well showing the photo but the heater is behind it and underneath that you have to tip the machine over.
Re: Hoover built in dishwasher – leaking heater
I don’t know what I’m asking, just that it stupid place to put it and it’s prone to leaks.
How common is this?

Re: Fix This…
For a minute I thought you were referring to Bean to Cup coffee machine for £1700 and got confused with washing machine. 😉
