    Our washing machine is more than 30 years old (purchased 54,000 fb from Cora de Woluwé / Brussels) and still works perfectly, no parts have been changed.
    Its tank and drum are made of stainless steel. We have 5 children so it worked a lot and washed perfectly.

      Françoise Leclerc that’s good to hear. Is it as energy efficient as today’s models? As that’s something I hear people say goes against a machine lasting too long 😊
      It’s great to hear yours lasted that long.

      @@experiment54 The machine is effective in washing and spinning, so its consumption of electrical energy is as good as a new machine.
      In household appliances, an old fridge consumes more than a new one because the insulation was not as good as it is today and has also deteriorated over time; the seals also age and increase losses.

    Great video. I'm glad to see that you came to your senses and didn't replace the Hotpoint WD420 with another Hotpoint, the brand has gone seriously downhill since it became foreign owned imo (by Indesit of Italy initially). I was amazed that you estimated that your WD420 was 10 years old, I would have expected the drum bearings to have failed before then, but of course it all depends how many wash cycles you do per week. To add insult to injury the bearings can't be changed on most if not all Hotpoints (sealed outer drum) so you have to buy an entire outer & inner drum assembley complete (although there are videos of how to split the outer drum (saw it in half) here on UA-cam).

    Miele is the best washing machine you can buy, but it has its price - but justified by the washing result and live span. But you should have a experienced house wife who tells you wich programs you need for a certain type of laundry. As my mother teached me: For usual type of washing (jeans, poloshirts, etc.) you use 30-40° C in a short program and for underwear 40°-60° + pre-wash. Work wear and similar stuff usually need the full program. To get rid of hard dirt and collar stains, a full program is also usefull.
    Water+ is also always recommendable - they had to reduce the water consumption to absurd level to get a Eco friendly sign, but if you don´t live in a area with water shortage always activate this function.

      @Rick2010100 3 роки тому +1

      @@experiment54 They are good for syntetic textiles were the dirt cant go into the textile texture and is just around the yarn. The most cotton washing eg needs a normal program, as dirt and sweat can go into the structure. The best way to get them clean is temperature, but elastic yarn (rubber) is killed by temperatures above 40°C and waistbands and collar lose quickly the form. To avoid this, the 40° C program compensates the temperature 60-90° by a longer washing time. You could also use bleecher to become eg white T-shirt pure white, but if you use them regulary, the textile is in the long run also killed by the contaning chlorine. It becomes brittle and falls appart.
      I use this work around: Only P&G Ariel (white and colur) and every 10th wash for T-Shirt white towels, etc. a bleecher.
      Tip: I have thick black and blue winter jackets and wash them with a extra black laundry detergent, because the rinse water contains still enaugh white colour particle to cause stains. If you hang them to dry, you have with normal color laundry detergent stil always a kind of water stains at the cuffs and lower parts, but not with special black detergent.
