My neighbour to my left (2 doors away) they always bought hoover and had the logic, new wave 1100 then a 1300 spin edition model that lasted two years and i think it was 5.5kg or 6kg. Now this time they bought the wml540 in white, and say its better than their old washer and you can fit more clothes in, they got it for £220 which was cheaper than other places. They are saying it will last longer but they like to replace washing machines every couple of years but the new wave was there longer than the rest as well as the logic.

I really do like it.The cycles are great and the rinsing will hopefully be better than the current Hottie. |

I thought they did slow tumbles with low water level then a high level fill with fast tumbles. Please correct me if i'm wrong. If thats incorrect,how do they rinse? |

Hi all Having owned a modern Hottie, which I left at my last property this is what I liked, disliked - Disliked Over sensitive out of balance Repetitive distribution (unlike Zanussi which adjusts accordingly and quickly) Quiet but fairly noisy on top spin Cheaply made, door catch would not engage easily Hated the spin dry on washer dryer feature, clothes were ruined Liked Nice design Great programmes, with shorter options Despite OOB fairly stable Deep water levels Intresting 2 stage fast spin I should add that I only left the machine as I wanted to get a new one (for fun). I used the delay timer at times and occassionally the door did not engage and so the wash did not start. When I was busy this was a pain in the neck. My new flat had a Whirlpool already there, which I later replaced with the Zanni. Good luck with your new machine, I'm sure you will like it! Rob |

BTW which model did you have Rob? My cosin sis has got a built in neff washer dryer which is about £1000 in comet. The bosch and siemens are the same looking and programmes too, but different pricing, Bosch lowest then neff then siemens. That machnes drying cycle also spins during the drying process because once i was there and she was using the cottons 40oc for normal ligh soiled loads and wanted to do washes in an hour, so showed her the short button. She'll never use the dryer but we thought lets give it a go today, we did and it started spinning but we found the clothes were harder to iron than natural dry whether indoors or outdoor. |

Hi there I had the WD640, which was an Aquarius washer dryer, roughly 3 years old now. It ruined a few jumpers in the dryer. It would literally spin at 1400 and leave the clothes all marked. That aside I did quite like it and if you selected gentle dry the spins were cut. I do however, much prefer the Zanussi Jetsystem. I got it on ebay as new but used a few times. The seller said they had been bought a machine at the same time by their son. Rob |

I dont think it will tumble because the motor wasnt even trying.It was just sat there full of water.The timer wasnt even moving. I dont think the camera picked up the cracks.They might be just how it was made,you never know lol. |
