Default Going to buy a new washing machine.... but which one?

Hello,

As the title suggests, I am going to go and buy a new washing machine today. Had a look on currys website and they range from about 200 to 1200 quid.

What should I be looking for?
How much gets a decent one?

Anyone know about these things?

Thanks

Bob.

Morning,

I don't know much about these, but, the wife is an expert

We went for a "Hotpoint Aquarius" for our new kitchen (purchased from Currys about 2 years ago) and have been very pleased with it.

There are loads to look at, and I think it is best to go for a good brand name.

Yes indeed I was, but I am by no means loaded so no £1200 washing machine for me!

Default HOTPOINT ULTIMA ?

Last one I bought was a Hotpoint Ultima - its one of those electronic push button ones and is dead easy to use. 1400 spin, quiet, lots of features etc.

I'm going to regret saying this, but its been the best washing machine I've ever had, not that I've actually "had it" so to speak, I'm not into appliance sex!

My mum swears by Bosch. All of her appliances are Bosch, and she has been outstanded by their performance. I'm not sure what kind of price tag you're looking at, but I can imagine that it's a 'get what you pay for' situation.

Buy an extended Warranty if you are going to use the machine a lot.

I got a Bosch for £299 a month or two ago. 1400rpm and it's not got dozens of obscure programmes or strange buttons that never get used.

Dont rule out the LG range

They do a 1200 digital spin for £250.00 in currys at the moment, good performer. My sister has had one for 2 years and its been faultless for her

What's "digital spin"? Is that something you can wrap around your little finger?

Miele. Microwave, dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine, hoovers. All been serving well for 10+ years (some of 'em) and never a hitch.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Bobby G, it has to be pretty easy Making Your Mind Up! You're in the Land of Make Believe if you think you think you'll have a New Beginning with anything less than a Miele. I Hear Talk but don't you have a Heart Of Stone, you know the Rules of The Game...buy a Miele !
