First edit
What model First Edition are you getting Chris. If i had the time & space i would be repairing the Ecologic. It does 100% work, washes & dries but like most old Hoover's it needs new bearings so i will have to let it go which i absolutely hate doing. I just thought it would be nice to post a few photo's of it on here.

I think it's quite obvious that you don't think before you speak.
A lot of members on here have spent YEARS and a hell of a lot of money building their collections and are quite proud of their exceptional standards when it comes to laundry. So for you to sign up to the forum and immediately start telling longtime respected members that they're wrong is hardly the way to make friends. You also seem completely oblivious to the fact that there are people on here with WAY greater knowledge than you. And I'm not talking about me either - the members who have been here for years have far greater knowledge than I do and I've picked up many tips from them all over the years. Next time somebody offers you a piece of advice or a helpful hint or tip, don't just dismiss it and tell them they're wrong. It is hardly the way to make a good impression now, is it? Having said that, I've more than likely just wasted 2 minutes of my life typing that out as it all seems to go in one ear and out the other with you, until someone says something you want to hear. Rant over. | ||

and FYI, yes, you did insult me.
I've spent a LOT of time and effort listening to advice of those more knowledge than myself. I'm a self confessed clean freak and proud of my clean home and clean laundry. So for you to come on here and make out like I know nothing after I've actually listened to other people and taken on what they've said and recomended and spent hours of trial and error to get the results I am happy with, something that you seem incapable of doing, is very insulting. | ||

Ok point taken. I would rather ask for advice on here than go to Curry's if I needed help in deciding what washer to go for. The whole point I joined the site was to share common interest and possibly meet new people. | ||

Ok fair enough. Actually I would like to point out that if it wasn't for PaulC mentioning Halo non bio I would never of heard of it and to you Chris about the Almat. So I do listen (sometimes). | ||

That's pretty much why we're all here. And the more the merrier. And the fact that you have your own experiences and opinions is great - new knowledge is brilliant and every single member...well, ok member not EVERY single member, but most grounded, open minded members will happilly discuss that with you.
But you can't go about telling people they're wrong. Just because something doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't for somebody else. Like shallow rinsing is not the best for you, but others might prefer it. For whatever reason, it works for them. So instead of saying "I'm not interested in hearing how good shallow rinses are", "no, you're wrong, it doesn't work" and "no, you need to use X detergent in Y machine", maybe...just MAYBE...try discussing it instead of dismssing it. A response like "that's great, I've never found X works well for me, but great that you do" goes a LONG way. So, lets move on, yes? Leave that where it is and start a fresh. | ||

Sounds good to me. Am sure you are all really nice people at the end of the day who I would get on well with in person. I get on well with most people providing they aren't racist, homophobic or horrible to animals. | ||

Well, it's done with now, Ben. Lets all me grown ups and move on, yes?
"I would rather ask for advice on here than go to Curry's if I needed help in deciding what washer to go for" Don't even get me started on Currys staff. A friend of mine used to work for them. Whenever they put him in the appliances department, he would always recomend Hotpoints because that was the only brand he knew of. | ||

I've heard a lot of good things about the new Hotpoints but yet to experience it first hand. They so seem a lot more solid than the last range. If you have a look through the archives, Darren (who's user name has escaped me) has the current Ultima WD and posted a lot of info about it. He has some video's up too (see link).
The WMA's were the last of the proper Hotpoints before Indesit took over. To be honest, Bradford isn't as bad as it's made out to be. There are far worse areas to live. The city centre is fine - just like any other, really. But there are certainly a fair few no-go areas. There's certainly areas a white person wouldn't want to walk through, especially alone. But those areas can be pretty easily avoided. CLICK HERE TO GO TO AquaCycle's LINK | ||

Il be honest,
Im a meat eater - all meat. Ive eaten Veal and enjoyed it with no guilty feelings BUT I dont know where I stand on its ethicals. I dont buy it regularly though and its been years since I last had it. I dont avidly look at cosmetic labels nor detergent labels. Im not an animal rights activist and buy what I want to buy detergent wise but I do have pangs of worry about what goes on behind closed doors. Ive not recently boycott any product due to animal testing or the such and im unsure where I stand with pharmaceutical testing on animals. I love animals but then I love bacon sarnies and clean washing. Maybe im a hearltess sod with no morals at all..... | ||
