    Argos have the same model for £169. Not sure if they charge for delivery.
    Hope this helps.

    We've had an Indesit for 8 years and apart from 1 repair costin £25 it's been fine. Told by engineer there isn't much to go wrong with them,very simple design.

    I've just installed my new washer from Comet. It's the ZANUSSI ZWF1210W 1200 spin speed washing machine for £179 delivered. It's early days, but I'm very happy with it at that price.

    I think this is the same model ordered by Beachbeth above.

    And don't forget the 1.5% Greasypalm cashback!! ;D

    We've just bought a new one.

    We bought a Bosch - not exactly cheap, but we discovered they have a fantastic reputation for reliability (as confirmed by Which? and various other websites).

    I suppose it's a bit of a gamble - but buying a cheapie could be a false economy in terms of potential repair bills.

    We ordered from Co-opelectricalshop (part of United Co-op) and we found their service very good with very competitive prices.

  • I would disagree with the comments on indesit, if you buy one of the better models, they last a good while. Weve had one for 7 years so far, no problem! (touch wood)
