Works fine and only selling as the wife has a rather posh new one now with all the bells and whistles. Rolling Eyes


I would like £30 for it.

Needs to go soon as it's in the way in my conservatory. I don't want to leave it outside.

Friends of ours had their machine explode the other week, fortunately there was no-one in the room at the time. I don't know which manufacturer made theirs. Dangerous things Smile

Was that the Lecky Motor or the water side exploding?

I'm not sure but it sounds like it ejected pieces out of the back, and from the front simultaneously, which sounds a tad alarming.

I think there was something about machines doing that on one of the consumer shaming programmes on t'telly.

I think it was the same make as one that's been "outed", but a model not yet reported as having issues.

My sister had one die spectacularly, she had thrown in my nephews work clothes without checking the pockets, which contained some large nails, she now knows what 1300 rpm spin dried nails sound like.... one got through the drum and acted as a tin opener.
