About 3 months ago, her machine started to throw itself around
the kitchen. I guessed at falling off weights as it's a pig to remove it
and left it alone. Having listened to her noises getting louder, I
decided to take the easy way out and buy a new hot and cold fill
machine. Sounds easy but it has taken weeks to find a couple. Today for
entertainment value I decided to try the local retailers as a source.
The first, a small local man, told me they don't exist any more and he
knows because the EU has banned them. I quickly enlightened him that he
is incompetent in my best Victor Meldrew manner. The next call was
Currys, who proudly announced that they only sell cold fill machines as
they are more efficient and that mould growth in cold washing machines
is a problem that customers can live with. The third call was the local
Argos, who very nicely checked with their customer services that they
did not for some reason sell hot and cold fill machines. Before I go on
line and buy the Statesman machine, does anyone know if any of the major
manufacturers offer such a machine? I even idly considered rebuilding
the 10 year old machine, before common sense crept in! ie, new
bearings,seals, springs and timer.


(A) Little of the hot water makes it to the machine anyway.
(B) Starting from cold enables a cleaner wash.
Hot water on laundry sets stains in.

Cold water only is cheaper to make.

So that why nobody makes mixed fill washing machines these days.
They told you the truth.
