The garage has a GoldWing, a CBX, a Blackbird, workbench, hydraulic
lift, shelving, and a sash window in it.
A sheet of paper would be a tight squeeze at the moment, let alone a
tumble drier. |

Just to add a contrary view, I've had two washer dryers (one when I
was married, and one in my current flat), and both have been reliable
and done exactly what I've wanted.

I think I'm going to join this club.
My last washer dryer lasted from 1993 - 2006, it was the cheapest one in
the shop, an indesit if I recall. It's replacement was also one of the
cheapest ones in the shop, this time a Bendix. >> Stay informed about: Paging the washing-machinr FOAK |

I had one of those Hoover or Hotpoint ones that were all over Watchdog,
allegedly chewing up the clothes and spitting out rags.
I never had a problem with mine, so it could be that I was either
lucky, or it was just used far less than with a family and thus behaved
itself.

Good choice. For reference, a few years ago I was looking to replace the
Hoover WM we had killed in 14mths with something more reliable/long lived.
After some good advice from a few service engineers I know, we eventually
chose the AEG as I mentioned. The damn thing weighs 88kg as opposed the
sub-40kg of most of the others. If you have a look inside you can see why.
They are massively over-engineered.
Apparently the design life is ~10yrs which means our hopushold should get
~3-4yrs out of it compared with the ~12-14mths for the cheaper brands.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember SD <salad.dodger DeleteThis @dsl.pipex.com>
saying something like:
>Can I just join it to another length of drain hose?[1,2]
You can get extension hoses, yes.
