Now it takes hours to do a wash unless I do a quick wash which is OK for things which aren't dirty. Things with stains on come out looking stained even with a scoop of the miracle wonder stain removers on the market these days. Bring back the washers that filled from the hot tap and took a half hour from start to finish. <BR/>When I look at the new cookers I keep willing my old oven to keep on trucking! Who says progress is always for the better? It's all built in obsolescence these days. Anything more than a couple of years old is unrepairable etc.enthusiastic crochetoholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10587972202268932439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-22937445908849876752008-04-27T18:52:00.000+00:002008-04-27T18:52:00.000+00:00I think the reason that the eco washer takes longe...I think the reason that the eco washer takes longer is because it washes at a lower temperature, and thus uses less electricity even although it takes longer.<BR/><BR/>But the reason for all your other complaints is that the cooker, like so many cookers, is badly designed. I think that some years ago there was a meeting and all the cooker manufacturers agreed that they would only put cr*p grill in cookers from now on. I've got one of those George Foreman grills and it's very good - not for cooking things rare, but for sausages and hamburgers and other things that need to be cooked thoroughly. Amazon does good prices on them, with free delivery.<BR/><BR/>I hope the rhubarb cheesecake cheered you up, and that your knee starts behaving itself soon.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045029232081633077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-40958531255904957912008-04-26T19:53:00.000+00:002008-04-26T19:53:00.000+00:00Do you really need the word verification on if you...Do you really need the word verification on if you're moderating comments? It is almost indecipherable as it's so wavy now and always takes me 2 or 3 attempts - and I've just asked Mr BW to look and he couldn't work it out either, so it's not just my awful eyesight.<BR/><BR/>I am Witch, not machine ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-71497729295927030002008-04-26T19:50:00.000+00:002008-04-26T19:50:00.000+00:00"Why is it that the new eco washers take twice as ...<I>"Why is it that the new eco washers take twice as long as the old twin tubs and early automatics?</I>"<BR/><BR/>Modern machines only cold fill. So, it takes longer to heat the water they need. Which, as you imply, is not a good thing, as, unless one has an instant water heating system, one is not using the water one has waiting already heated.<BR/><BR/>Everyone I know who has problems that flare up, myself included, has problems atm. As Rosie says, must be something going on. Hope you're feelig better soon.<BR/><BR/>Rhubarb cheesecake sounds yummy.
