I think provided you are prepared to service the machine, suspension kit, possibly motor brushes, check for play on the drum bearings etc, they make an excellent daily driver there are two of us on here that use these type of machines as daily drivers with no complaints.
we can help you out with any thing you need to know My only advice would be to use Tesco washing powders as they work very well in these machines as regards cleaning, they are extremely low suds and rinse out very easily and are very low scent. Good luck Gary |

the pulley is not loose on the shaft is it? they can sometimes wear where they go on the end of tub shaft,they can make a knock sound when the motor rotates the drum because of play.
Do you know if this machine has the original taper bearings or does it have the later ball bearings as fitted to the logics Maybe a bit more detail, when washing or spinning, unbalanced load. Gary |

Not to divert the topic, but I am AMAZED that Surf has no effect on your daughters eczema.
Skin irritation from detergent is, in 99.9% of cases, caused by the chemical perfumes used and nothing to do with the actual washing part of the formula. Surf is very highly scented and uses a lot of these, so I'm shocked that of all the detergents available, Surf is the one that doesn't cause a reaction. |

Aquacycle, I know where you coming from. Seems that out of all the detergents I have tried only surf and peril bio seem not to affect her. Weirdly enough, fairy was one of the worst along with ariel and daz. |
