We've certainly been here before, but not for a while (to my recollection).
Today's 30°C wash resulted in my house and laundry stinking of burnt rubber
.
The culprit is an inherited (in 2003, when I moved in) Candy Aquaviva 1000 (which could be 10 or more years old), which has actually done an OK job for the last seven or so years - for a machine which to all intents and purposes was 'free'.
I have no intention of either investigating the problem or repairing said Candy machine.
Single occupancy household, no heavy duty use.
1 wash per week, occasionally a second one.
Requirement for a 30°C wash.
Requirement for a bog standard wash.
Requirement for a hot / linen wash.
That's about it.
Don't need any other toys with bells and whistles.
I'm vacillating between a bargain John Lewis Own Brand machine (as I've heard they're apparently more than OK), and a Miele (as I am big on the longevity thing).
Opposite ends of the spectrum, I know.
What does the panel think?
