Does anyone know of a good washer drier - or if there are ones made by major manufacturers under a cheaper brand logo - i seem to recall a thread on tvs that could be bought cheaper this way.
cheers for any help .

    From memory, two that were suggested as very good were AEG 16820 and a Zanussi (W??)

    i would personally avoid washer driers if i were u sweety

    they usually dry the clothes by producing steam, this makes ironing virtually impossible

    i have had 2 diff w/ds and they hav both left my clothes with a funny smell, and the house smells funny whilst its drying also :o

    unfortunately i dont hav room for a tumble drier - but only use the drying cycle on the w/d for towels when desperado...

    Do you have room for separates? Have had washer/dryer before, now i have separates-wow, what a difference in drying times etc. never realised! Do you have room in a garage for example -condenser dryer?

    How about tumble driers on their own ?

    Thanks for the replies so far by the way.

    I've had 2 Ariston washer dryers in 15 years and they do what they should. You can use a steam iron if they're too dry?!

    i agree with mhuk...i've had an Ariston washer drier (AWD12S) for last 2 years and i've been very happy with it :)

    Had a Zanussi washer/dryer for the past two years which we use regularly in our v.small kitchen with no problems.

    Only minor annoyance is it has a filter in the front of the machine which needs removing and cleaning at least once a month..

    I had a Hoover washer dryer for 16 years no problems.Have now had a Zanussi for 7 years with no problems.Cannot dry such a big load as dryer on its own but that is all.
