Mine has a built in timer, little display tells me how long my wash has left to run and it has a child-lock so I can stop DD pressing the buttons mid-cycle

Use dishwasher once a day as it uses less water than washing up when full. I spin everything at 800 apart from woollens

Cappucino · 25/06/2006 20:33

i put it dishwasher on at night cos it's full then...

if it gets full early if people come I put it on earlier

[perplexed]

I really am not understanding what the issue is here

you need to get a hobby

Confused - perhaps cos haven't read whole thread... what does the spin cycle on the washing machine have to do with the dishwasher????????

I've just had to leave the puter to inspect my washing machine. I hadn't noticed how many buttons it has because I was over-awed by its sheer Australian hugeness and deepness that takes a double duvet without a whimper.

Lo and behold! There's a mysterious 'favourites' button, plus 'permanent press' along with the regular stuff like delicates and heavy duty (oooh), several timer functions and lots of different spin speeds.

I thank you cod and the housekeeping thread.

Now Capp - tell me more about these oils. Fab idea but don't you get greasy oily marks on the clothes?

GG, yes it is . I was a bit dubious about spending £500 on an LG, but it is brilliant, good, big drum too.

GarfieldsGirl · 27/06/2006 06:42

NDP DP said 'We're not spending £600 or anything stupid on a Dyson', but didn't mention the £500 spent on an LG! Oh well! No-one else is allowed to touch mine, and I spent the 1st few weeks I had it boring everyone with stories of my new washing machine.

Oh, the exciting life of a SAHM

No idea what speed the spin rate is But I do mine twice... So after it was stopped, I turned the knob around again to dry spin again. Nice and dry clothes....

Am I the only one that does this... I guess it may be that I have my spin on tooooo low and sopping wet clothes,, oh god, now I will have to get up to take a look and I was soo comfy...

Oh must have a crap model as I only have a button that says 1200 and 600 and have never pushed it in, so must be doing it at 1200 twice...
