Westcountrypottery at the eBay.co.uk messageboard wants to clear out all the junk from her laundry room and use it for its intended purpose. So she’s asked for thoughts on what should be included in the way of appliances and other paraphernalia.

Brainless is quick to suggest Miele or Maytag if she had the space, but it’s ivvie who gives a first-hand Miele recommendation. The proud owner of a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, she admits that although they’re expensive they’re “…really well built” and come with “…long guarantees”. She really loves the express wash feature of the washing machine which “…uses only a much water as needed” and the tumble dryer which “…finishes as soon as the clothes are dry too - very clever.”

What would be your suggestions for the ideal laundry room? Why not share your thoughts with the other eBayers.
