Free: Krups mini espresso machine (Central Hitchin, SG5) Gifted Classic espresso maker. Has been descaled recently.

Free: pc 32gb ram/1gb hdd (Central Hitchin, SG5) Gifted Asus PC (c. 2015) with AMD 64-bit 3GHz CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB HDD. Has two optical drives, including one Light Scriber. It's temperamental when switching on: often stops with an error code about memory, but pressing the "MemOK!" button on the motherboard always sorts it out, and until I stopped using it recently I was running it 24/7 without other problems. It might just need a new motherboard battery. Comes with manual (in particular telling you where that crucial button is!), mains cable, some blank optical disks, and miscellaneous parts for inside the machine.

Free: Vax vacuum cleaner (pet attachment) (Central Hitchin, SG5) Expired Vax "Mach 1 Pet" bagless vacuum cleaner, with all attachments. It still works fine; the "default" head is now a bit loose, but I have found the smaller "pet" head is fine for carpets and brush attachment for hard surfaces. Spares were still available from Vax of all parts when I checked recently. Getting rid of it only because I was given an even smaller machine that suits me better!
