I need a new washing machine...

[Demonz]

Any website recommendations appreciated?? otherwise its Currys again...

[embee]

If you can afford it, thoroughly recommend a Miele, built like a tank, last for ever. Get the most basic one, it does washing :wink:

Can't recommend a site particularly.

how much you looking to spend and what features does it need to have as a minimum. I sell kitchens and bathrooms so can see what deals are about for you at work tomorrow if you like

Our Bosch has lasted for many years now, very reliable - unlike its Hotpoint predecessor which regularly flooded the kitchen.

£300 max - looking value for money. I need the depth around 560mm to fit in a cupboard - which is the main thing. 5.5kg - 6kg High Spin speed is the main thing.

Any thoughts on Whirlpool?

I've had two Bosch's (neither went wrong unlike my Hotpoint which had to have an extended warranty as it went wrong every year). Just the basic one with a decent spin speed. Relatively cheap for a decent one too.

Comet or Qualityelectricaldirect is where I go.

Cool.
Whirlpool is a good budget brand but youd be suprised at what you can get for that money from someone like Meile too. I'll have a look for you tomoroow and post back here. All the distributors send out offers from time to time on this brand or that.

Having said all that i googled for one of the Siemens induction hobs we sell and some of the internet sites were beating even those prices :shock:

these have a lot to look at http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/list~subdept~washers~dt~Washing+Appliances~st~Wash ing+Machine~page~0.htm

Got one for Sale, A zanussi. £150 (nearly new) may help for short term.

[Foey]

Zanussi are good, steer clear of anything hotpoint unless it's a fridge or freezer, as Tara says Candy are quite good, they did tend to put all the duff bits into one machine though so if you got a bad one it was really bad.



Could always rent a young maiden to take your washing to the local river & beat it on a stone. :wink:

Yup - sounds familiar! My hotpoint flooded the kitchen for its final time a while ago - not its just stopped working.

Bummer. Cant afford a replacement at the moment, so im relegated to washing everything by hand.

:roll:

i got a well good deal @ comet a samsung 1200 spin digital display silver only cost me £220 8)

[Spiderman]

Ok, sadly my feedback is worse than useless on this.
We have nothing from a reliable brand that i can offer you :( Sorry. Seems like this must be the season for it or something.
The only cheapies i can get hold of are Servis ones and i dont really know about them, if they are good or bad i mean.

How much for a washing machine :shock:

We are a household that eats washing machines.


We had a hotpoint that went and went and eventually rusted through the drum so had to be replaced. The wife insisted on Zanussi and did not bother with extended warrenty as they never go wrong. (How nieve we were), at 13 months old required new motor £120, at 14 months required new controller £180. Sod that we put the £180 towards another hotpoint and bought extended warrenty. In the 5 years we had that we had the motor changed 3 times, bearings twice, shockers (Yes washing machines have shockers) twice etc. The extra for the warrenty was money well spent.

After that died at about 6 years old we have bought a bosch. including extended warrenty which we have yet to use. I have a brother who owns a domestic appliance retailers. He swears by Meile and if you cannot afford it then Bosch.


I notice my local B&Q are knocking out cheap washers at £199. but did not look at name or spec

[silent]
