Who seriously is that out of touch with reality?

Yeah but admit it, you were impressed. I know I was, what a man!!

Washing machine only need a quick wash, wool wash, 30 degree, and oh fu** I really did soil the bed settings.
Microwave needs only 1 button - cook (press to add +30s).
Oven same, 220 degrees.
Dishwasher again one button - wash dishes.

And central heating also just needs one button that does nothing except change the display from 22 degrees to 30 degrees.

You have your heating at 22 degrees? That's bad enough to make me feel dopey in a house but 30 degrees I'd literally be asleep in my boxers on the sofa!

As for the washing machine, I got taught at a young age to use one. Mainly because my mum got fed up of ending up covered in mud when putting my weekend's race kit in the washing machine! 3 or 4 sets of motocross clothes caked in mud definitely don't make someone want to do your washing for you. The poor machine, what it went through with all that stuff. Sometimes it would spit bits of grass into my dads work shirts for weeks. I found that funny as a fifteen year old but as a 30+yr old I now sympathise with my dad when he found it rather irritating.

Anyway, diverging, the different settings are pretty useful. I just got a top spec AEG one for the new kitchen to replace the 20 year old thing that was in there before. It's flipping brilliant; quiet, quick, dries clothes properly, doesn't stink... It's also got a setting for outdoor kit which is useful when you're using something like Tech Wash and then re-proofing gear afterwards. That said I would be lying if I said I'd read the manual to work out all the different permutations...I only this week worked out by accident how to change the spin speed!

We got a new Bosch Washer/Dryer this year and it's epic. Seems to have the same functions as yours with the tech wash for re-proofing. It's also much quieter and doesn't make the house shake when on it's fastest spin which is much better. It seems technology has moved forwards in the 10 years since I last bought one. It's actually been a good year for tech as the washing machine has really improved and I've finally found a printer that doesn't take 15mins to start up and break every 100 pages.

We've used Bosch stuff for ages. Dishwasher, Fridge-Freezer, Washing Machine & Dryer are all Bosch. Can't fault them. Also had a Neff oven and hob in the old house which were still going strong after 20+ years when we moved!!

We've had an LG one for what has got to be about 12 years or so now. One of those "direct drive" ones, which doesn't shake like a shitting dog when it's on a spin cycle as a result. Will definitely get another one when this one kicks the bucket. Thinking about it, the fridge freezer is LG and the same age too, that's been faultless.

Washing machine does indeed have more options that I care for. "Quick 30" is all that's needed most of the time.................and the washing machine has that exact setting for the cleanup after!

Is that next to Unexpected Follow-Through Quick Wash?

The only washing machine programme i use is a Power wash at 50c to wash my car cleaning microfibre cloths - wife goes made with the oil residue left behind in the rubber seal !

one thing I Don't know how to use in the house is the washing machine. Thankfully Mrs deals with it all. I do cook occasionally when she let's me and clean etc though

Lived in a rented bachelor apartment by age twenty, so I had to learn to care for myself. It was a steep learning curve, but I managed. Makes you a man, it does.
