WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You'll love it! I know you will :-D. Louis - all appliances in the UK come with moulded plugs and have done for years now - as there were just too many accidents with have-a-go DIYers wiring up their own plugs incorrectly! Jon | ||

I'm Back
I've done two loads now, a whites and a coloureds… and its really great!!! I can't believe how silent it is, even when it’s spinning. The cottons wash rhythm is really cool, I’ve made a video, i'll post it soon!!!! I'm defiantly impressed and my mum is too, lol bless! I'll be teaching her how to use it tomorrow. Although the only problem is that it’s slightly deeper than the Hoover, so it doesn’t fit into the cabinet space. However this is only because the tumble dryer venting tube runs along behind the Miele (before going through the wall and outside.) So my dads going to have to move the vent tube so it doesn’t go behind the washing machine anymore, then we can push the machine all the way back against the wall. | ||

Hiya Thanks for the offer nick... I’ll keep it in mind, lol However I do have a Hoover SIX (AL120) still in working order, which I'm selling... if you'd like to come and collect that? Or anyone else? Jon + Miele2888: Yer I think mine has hydraulic suspension, its spun a bit imbalanced a few times, hehe, but I’m going to check the feet on the machine coz the whole machine keeps shaking. And its a really tight squeeze in the cupboard its in, so when ever it shakes it touches the sides of the cupboards, which makes it sound really loud! Adam | ||

Individual Fuses...
Thats the reason ring mains are safer- also we only have one standard plug that you put different ratings of fuse in so a lamp has a 3a fuse and dosent rely on the 16??a circuit breaker. Another big plus is the plug can only fit the socket one way- therefore the appliance can have a single pole switch with the guarantee it will always be on the live side of the supply! S | ||

I think you are confusing a few things. A ring mains is less safe than a "normal" sytem used on the continent and in other countries. Using plugs with separate fuses on the continent would it make our system even safer than it is now. The fact that you use plugs with separate fuses in them doesn't mean that the ring system is safer. Ask any electrician (Toggle?).
