I need a new washing machine

Comments

  • Hi - I love my ISE10. It was expensive at £850 :eek: but it does have a 10 year guarantee & I can't fault it at all. Here's a link to a thread discussing it. It is cheap to run, quick to do a thorough wash (1 hr 20 @ 40C), has a 1600 spin & it can cope well with a single duvet. I have a bed-wetter & it's been the best machine ever!
    & as for some happy ending I'd rather stay single & thin :D

    at 40C mine does 55 minutes! admitted it has only 1200 spin but I can get a double duvet in. and it cost about £150 and got a double AA rating.

    and it gets my clothes clean!
  • We bought a Hotpoint Aqualtis after much searching and checking of reviews, about a year ago. It is ultra-quiet (we have an open plan kitchen/lounge) , A+ economy and A+ flawless wash performance. Electronic displays, ability to create your own programmes, 1600 spin and 7.5kg capacity for £340 with connection, delivery and removal of our dead Zanussi. You can even wash king size duvet in it.

    I don't think Zanussi are the quality they once were.

    Great service from applicances online, but beware the follow-up phone call offering product insurance - the machine came with 1 year on-site full and a 5 year parts warranty from the manufacturer anyway.

    Our machine is also on the verge of packing in - I have read this thread with interest. We have a Hoover (not sure of model) but it's lasted for over 7 years. There are only two of us in our house so it's lasted really well.

    I recently bought a Bosch WAE24468GB from Dixons on-line for £386 including delivery and removal of our old machine.
    It was £469.99 plus delivery in Comet.

    Currently £361 (eduk8) incl delivery and 2 -year warranty from Electrical Discount UK

    Pretty much same price from Dixons using voucher code

    anyway £490 machine down to £368 delivered to your door not bad a £122 saving

    but i put links in as prices change not knowning when you going to get it if you do but can use for any model to knock prices down, to get you a bargain just make sure you check for any delivery charges.
    the bosch machines come with a 2yr guarntee when you register on there own website basically another 1yr free on top.

    hope this helps

    I found the receipt for my broken washing machine £245.94 including delivery (and no cash back - I wasn't so MSE then :o ) Although its nice to see that Ex paid for it on his credit card :rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyways.....

    After some mooching around the internet and spending most of Friday on here and the Argos website (easier to sort options & make comparisons ;)), then trailing around Comet & Currys on Saturday to see what the machine looked like in person (and to make sure DD could cope with operating them ;) She wants to help out but even our current machine is too complicated for her) I've decided on this one:

    http://www.bootskitchenappliances.com/Product_Information.aspx?BackLink=Product_Listings&ProductID=11324&ProductCode=ZWF16381W_WH&ProdColourID=20376&specification=false

    Its Zanussi, same as my tumbledrier, its the 1600 speed I wanted ideally to cut TD time, and a 7kg drum which in theory can take a kingsized quilt (ideal for when DD is poorly and sick over my bed:o ) and hopefully cut down the need for bedding to be washed as 3 separate loads (1 kingsized quiltcover & pillows, double quilt cover & 2 pillows, double sheets & kingsized sheet & 2 pillows). I know its £347 (ouch!!!) BUT it ticks all the boxes, can be delivered before the weekend if I pay an extra £2.99 (I am soooo prepared to pay this:rotfl::rotfl: ) and I get advantage card points (Equivalent to £27.76 to spend in store ;) Thats nearly 6 packs of hairdye :o ) and in theory 2% cashback through Quidco so that would be another £7.50ish ;) So *gets calculator out* about £342/£350 for it to be here by Saturday depending on cashback being paid. I don't mind either option personally :rotfl:

    Opinions please? :think:
