It would have probably been OK except for someone caught the edge accidentally and took a small chunk out with a zip or something. Also had a mouse last year that ate a couple of wires, but I found those and reconnected with chocolate blocks.

It worked perfectly when I got it home. 7 years ago I loaded it into a 20 foot container and shipped it with the rest of my possessions to the South coast of Western Australia where it is still used daily. The pump died about 3 years ago, but £5 on ebay got me a new one and my dad posted it to me. He was so impressed with my machine that he found one for £15 in the Derby Evening paper a few weeks after I got mine. I fitted new drum bearings for him last time I was in the UK. The dry cycle is very efficient, especially in winter when the mains water is colder, as the heater is a closed cycle so only switches on and off as required to heat the circulating air, not dumping several kilowatts out of the window.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327860017468358378.post-43824296179753130512014-02-25T15:42:11.134+00:002014-02-25T15:42:11.134+00:00I also have had a WDT1085 since new, it's also...I also have had a WDT1085 since new, it's also been brilliant<br />Phil in YorkshireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
