Thanks all. I had an Ariston washer dryer 40 years ago and it was fine. The only trouble I had with it was if I tried to dry a full load. Unfortunately it died after a few years and I always had separate fairly manual ones since then. I've not used a dryer for a five or six years now and they seem to be completely different! I'll have to keep experimenting.
What are you reading at the moment?
What are you avoiding doing in this heat?
