How urgent is your need to know? As I said earlier I have a 3.5 kg Candy and were I able to go to the boat I could easily run it on a cold cycle via the inverter and keep a close eye on the battery monitoring. I'd only have to watch constantly during and just after the fill stage. I imagine I'll be going to the boat the first day I can. ?

Hi @Slim, I am in no particular rush - we have a washing machine where we are moored and I will wait until i am sure I have the right washing machine before ordering.

OK. Just watch the news for when they say travel is allowed between Watford and Cropredy. Will report back then.

I’m afraid I don’t as I always wash at 30dc

I did a cold wash this morning. There was a spike at 1132w then low throughout the wash

@Chris John thank you for sharing this. This is very interesting. This machine looks to have been a very affordable price (£239 at Currys), particularly when compared with the alternatives (£400 to £500). Sadly I cannot find any for sale at the moment, apart from a second hand one in Scotland on eBay

Regarding the one on eBay, it might be worth getting a courier quote to collect and deliver, especially if they accept a lower offer?  I have used these guys in the past, moonexpress4u@gmail.com  they were very reasonable, but of course I don't know how far into Scotland they would collect.

Do you think this spike also represents a brief period of heating?

 Not sure. If it was it was very brief.
