Any good washing machine comparison sites?

hock79

I need to buy a new washing machine, I only want to spend up to £300 but for this I obviously want the best one that I can get, one that will last a few years, and hopefully not break down all the time!

My criteria are:
Good energy performance (AAB or better)
Spin over 1200 rpm
Short standard wash times
Timer delay option
Quiet noise level

This is driving me mad because not all sites list all the criteria I have and for some brands I can't find the noise level at all. Does anyone know of any sites that have options to search on the above criteria? Or any other ideas for me?

I'm also checking reviews, obviously, but the problem I'm finding is that manufacturers seem to bring out new models all the time so that most of the ones I'm looking at only have reviews from people that have only recently bought them, and so I'm not going to be able to find out about longevity!

Aaaargh, I hate this!

Have a look over at http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums

It is forum where washing machine engineers hang out. Ask a few questions and I am sure they will tell you the ones that break down the most.

Thanks Ionkontrol, I've just registered, but awaiting approval before I can bore them with my questions!

Try Miele range but are a bit more.

We've had our Bosch machine for 16 years.:T

Which, if nothing else, tells you that 16 years ago Bosch made good machines;), well one good machine anyway.:D

Sadly there lies the dilemma .. new washing machines are almost all made down to a price these days.;)
