Hadn't considered a lining approach - most interesting. I'll seriously consider that, thanks.

I'm looking to renew/replace the rotted timber used to construct a compost heap and would appreciate guidance. My main aim is longevity with minimal maintenance but cost is a consideration too. I currently have a two compartment, side-by-side construction consisting of six concrete posts set...

I don't know which Haier model you have but most Haier heat pump tumble dryers are either A** (most) or A*** (a few) rated for energy efficiency and their condensation efficiency is rated class B and class A respectively. Digging around a bit I found that a class B condensation efficiency means...

Not used a tumble before purchasing a WHICH? recommended SMEG heat pump drier about 6 -7 years ago. Inevitably, drying times are extended compared with all other dryer tech, though more recent heat pump designs are said to be quicker at drying than older designs such as mine. Longer drying...

Would appreciate advice on this... My existing DT92E has broken and I need a replacement. I contacted Honeywell/Resideo to ask what my replacement options were and was informed that two wireless room thermostats fitted the bill for my particular setup: a like-for-like DT92E or the newer DT4R...

Some great tips, thanks. I'll try them all.

Sadly true. And it's not just NEFF. Seems to be a design weakness in many ovens. Would love to hear from anyone who doesn't need to change their oven bulb regularly (yet uses the oven regularly). I've removed built-in ovens far too often over the years (6- 8 times?). Although I developed a...

I've used built-in electric ovens for decades and oven bulbs invariably blow long before their stated average lifespan, despite always having the lens cover fitted correctly, keeping oven and lens clean and limiting oven temperature to 220C max. I've never got 300 hours out of an oven bulb yet...

Yes, I'm also concerned. But then the promise of a medal is tempting me... Hmm, cryptic? Are you suggesting that a suitable setup could be assembled using component parts because I've considered that approach too...

Seems I'm wrong about that. I didn't spot the difference - thanks for pointing out. The only reasonably priced PIR controlled UK standard mains socket is the AliExpress one posted by JohnW2. I've purchased from AliExpress in the distant past with mixed results. I'm a bit wary buying direct...

This is what I'm after, thanks. Was this item for sale in the UK? If so, could you kindly provide a link?

Similar to the one I found but half the price so one to consider, thanks. That's more like it, thanks. Under £10 so could be worth a punt. I didn't update screen before I posted #8 so failed to see your post #7.

Only UK product seems to be this: https://www.frequencycast.co.uk/energyegg.html Bit OTT and expensive for my requirements.

That's exactly it. On Amazon UK I only found the Euro versions, as in the photo. Been looking for over an hour and couldn't find one. Surprises me that a UK version isn't readily available. Thought I might be missing the obvious, hence this post, but seems not.

Thanks.
