Hi Sandra Glad to know yours is still going strong but, after 17 years of use, you would hardly mind if it went on the blink? My poor experiences were both with Electrolux and, as it happened, both seemed to have the same problem, the element in the dryer. The engineer told me on each occasion with the two machines that they were notorious for breaking down, and that it was normally the heating element that went. They were both very similar machines, and not wildly accessible either. I could only use one programme on each as the dials were fixed, so I used a bit of Braille dymo to mark where appropriate.

I've had a Zenuci washer drier which is now, wait for it, seventeen years old ! ! The engineers have only visited once to fix the lock on the door! I'll be replacing it soon and I won't hesitate to get another Zenuci combination. Don't know how Audrey would find them for accessibility; I marked mine myself with clear dots from the RNIB for the programs I use most and it's worked for me. In the end, though, I suppose it all comes down to individual experiences and luckily, mine has been a good one. Maybe the thing will break down now that I've been singing its praises. I'll just have to keep everything crossed that it goes on for another few months at least. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
