I know a few years ago, Argos were selling HEC machines. Have never heard of these and I would like to know who make/made them. You can still buy them from Argos but they are now branded as Haus.
Jacob Here's a HEC from a house down our street. It is plumbed in opposite a White Knight Compact Dryer.

Ah, my boyfriend has the same as that HEC washer but branded HAUS (pics below). It's not a poorly performing machine, by any standards. It's not too loud either and has nice deep water levels. HOWEVER, it does have it's flaws. For starters, the cottons 40 cycle FOUR HOURS and does FIVE rinses (the conditioner rinse being 2nd, oddly). There is a nice, variable temp quick wash which takes about 45 mins and has a really nice wash action, but it only does 1 rinse which annoys me. My other annoyance is the detergent dispenser. It's FAR too small and near impossible to remove for cleaning.

... 4 HOURS for a cottons 40 wash? I'm glad I generally avoid these type of machines, they look poorly designed and generally look cheap in any kitchen, would go for Beko or Indesit anyday if I was forced to buy a washing machine of that price range. | ||
