I expect you put some of your hot smalls in it.

WE have had a Hoover washer/dryer for 24 years.cost £394.00 then )

and its never broken down once.

I bought a new Bosche machine 7 years ago in case the Hoover blew.

Still waiting.

See what you can achieve if you wash your clothes once a year.

Sal, thanks for the heads up. I have emailed the company to find out more about the plastic chips and will post back any info I receive.

Do you have to pick the chips out yourself?

Whistle - no the chips get collected in a filter below the drum.

I recieved an auto response email back as follows:

It looks interesting. I think it's useful to save water but it's not environmental-friendly because this machine produces non-recyclable plastic waste.

That Dyson washing machine hasn't had nearly enough publicity, has it, Indizine?
Back to the one which only uses a cup of water. It would be great on wet wash days as well and save all that drying time!
