I wanna new washing machine

Hello folks

I don't post very much as I can normally find what I want by searching the archives, but right now we are in a household appliance disaster!

Tumble dryer went, then fan oven, now washing machine!! Lovely husband replaces the bearings on my tumble dryer, has ordered what he hopes is the faulty part for my oven, but my 6.5 year old Bosch washing machine's bearings have gone and its beyond him - we have been advised to repair it would be prohibitively expensive....so on the search for another.

I haven't got much to spend tho, £3-400 MAXIMUM, so I saw this one at the weekend as a larger capacity appeals:

but Candy seemed to get very mixed reviews....

Can anyone advise me please? Many thanks.

    Well its very early days but we bought a candy (from Tesco direct) two weeks ago and its fab. Very quiet, fantastic spin(1600) and excellent wash results.
    Don't know if they still have them now but we got ours from the tesco website for £234 (with £100 off) also got £6.14 from quidco and 464 clubcard points and also got free delivery.
    Hope that helps.

    And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.
