Hi all
My Servis M9090 has finally died a death after 5 yrs. Im popping to the shops tommorow to look round and have done some research online.

At least 5kg capacity
Under £250 including delivery
So far Ive found:

Whirlpool AWM5145 - £238.53 from qed
Beko WMA10W - £199.99 from empire
Anyone have any recommendations ? Thanks in advance

Personally I'd go for a Whirlpool. Have got the previous version of that 1400spin washer and also a tumble drier of theirs, both which have done 3 years hard labour so far without any problems.
Incidentally, same price delivered on http://www.sainsburyskitchenappliances.co.uk
Plus you get 438 Nectar points from there.
Or, from http://www.bootskitchenappliances.com and get £8.76 in Boots Advantage Points.
You might even be able to use points towards buying it...haven't checked.British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -
Hubby used to be a domestic appliance engineer, and says go for the Indesit every time. Reasons?
'Indesit are excellent basic machines, easy to get spare parts for and cheap to service. You can get spare parts for Indesit at your local market. They've been making washers for longer than almost anyone else and know what they're doing (apart from a period in the mid-80's when they produced some rubbish). They are bl**dy excellent machines for the money' (LANGUAGE, hubby!)
'Whirlpool have some of the highest prices for service costs.'
'If you buy a Beko, no independent repairer will touch it, cos they can't get the parts.'
HTH! :beer:Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0 -
Thanks folks, Im armed to the teeth with Martin's haggling advice plus the online printouts and ready to shop "There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children; one of these is roots, the other wings" - Hodding Carter

Hiya BM :wave:
Someone at work was boasting today about finding a Bosch with a retail of £499 online for under £300 (I thin k it was £249) delivered. She was also really pleased about the fast delivery options.
Will post or PM you tomorrow if you still havent bought anything."Life is like a game of cards.

Cool, havent bought yet, my haggling skills obviously arent that great
I have to wait till Wed for my money to clear anyways, that Bosch sounds great. "There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children; one of these is roots, the other wings" - Hodding Carter

Well, BM, turns out it was only good old Curry's online she got it from.
It only just scrapes in under budget. See HERE
PS It's a tenner cheaper HERE anyway."Life is like a game of cards.

One of 'which' magazines best buys was a Tricity-Bendix 1260W. Best price i've found was £238.

I bought the Bosch Classixx 1000 and it's a brilliant machine. 1000 rpm spin speed, 6Kg. load, A+ energy rated, £246.49 delivery was fast and they took away my old machine too.coffeebean0 -
Did they take it away for free or did you pay the £9 ?coffeebean wrote:Try Co-Op online here:http://www.coopelectricalshop.co.uk/products/ProductList.asp?topGroupCode=LAUND&groupCode=LDWMCH.

I paid the £9 - it wouldn't have gone in the car and would have had to borrow a friend's van so by the time I'd done that & put some petrol in it for him to take it to the tip which is quite a way away, I reckoned it was cheaper to pay and have done with it!BoltonMinx wrote:Did they take it away for free or did you pay the £9 ?
I did ring the local white goods recycling warehouse, but unfortunately they are full up with applicances at the moment and don't want anymore for a while - which is a pity.coffeebean0
