Searching For A Washing Machine.

former_student

Its for a house I will be renting out to hopefully a family, I expect I will need one that can hold at least 6kg, I am looking for one with a decent warranty time that is reliable, how much can I expect to pay and where is the best place in NI to find it? I've checked a number of local electrical stores, £280 seems to be the most competitive price that I can get.

But if money's tight,have you considered here:

What does this relate to?

It means that if you find a washing machine cheap in say Laser & Curry's have the same model then they'll match Laser's price + take off 10% of the difference...........;)

A washing machine engineer last year advised me to never buy a machine with more than a 1200rpm spin as this is the cause of most breakdowns with washing machines, they just can't handle the increased spin speeds..

B&Q (at least at Sprucefield anyway) have a Whirlpool one on clearance for £259.

You could try freecycle.org though it may not be successful for you, basically I found it here a couple of days ago...if you have anything you don't need you simply donate it to others and maybe you will get the word on someone giving away something you need.

Here is the proper info, beyond the pathetic stub I just wrote lol

I seen a 5kg Beko yesterday that I may purchase, it costs £120. The guy from the shop advised that it was taken from its original retails shop as they could not sell it as it was on display and got scraped, my sister has however advised me that such a product should still have a warranty, is this right?

Yes it would still be under warranty, great that you got sorted
