2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[robs5230]

i have just collected an eglu classic today ( used but less than a year old ). whilst driving back with it in the car i thought i heard water sloshing around. when i got home i stripped the eglu and disinfected it ready for use , and sure enough the base has a fair amount of water trapped inside.

i cant imagine this will be good at all if it freezes.

how did it get there and how do i get it out ??????

thanks

I have a classic and got it new a few years ago. However at the first washing water seemed to get in and I can hear it when moving the eglu about. It has not come to any harm in freezing weather.

I find that water gets in via minute gaps when I use the jet washer. Maybe that is what has happened. It doesn't affect the insulating qualities of the Eglu so far as I can tell.

thanks. i have emailed omlet for their opinion on it and asking how i can get it out. can't see the point of a nice warm eglu with a block of ice in the base

I have drilled a couple of minute holes and allowed it to drain away.

I have done just that on several. try and work out a good place, where it will drain on it's own (matbe propped up. not where it will after be in contact with the ground.
