A box of 75 cosrs £13.69 which works out at £0.1825 per tablet.
Using one per day 7 days per week for three years comes out at under
£200.
Our Miele cost around £600 ten years ago and still as good as new.


My washing machine cost less than £200 nine years ago and is still going
strong without using Calgon.

Used mainly on a cold wash it occasionally gets a dose of washing soda
on the hottest wash cycle.

Our old Hotpoint lasted fifteen years; I fitted door seal, bearings,
heater and motor brushes. Eventually the motor blew up.

The heater didn't actually fail, but the integral seal hardened and
started to leak. We are in a hard water area. There was practically NO
scale on it, and we never used Calgon.
