    Bosch.

    Though I don't know about your particular models but my appliance repairman neighbour recommended that make to me.
    I'm not cynical I'm realistic :p

  • I have had a Bosch one in the past lasted approx ten years. I have now got a AEG electrolux and wish I had brought another Bosch. All mine have been washer / dryers.

    Liked the Bosch for shorter wash programmes ie quick wash and seemed to wash better. Would not hesitate to look at Bosch next time.
  • siemens for the warranty plus they are part of the bosch group anyway.
    In Progress!!!

    My friend swears by Miele
  • I've had my Bosch for over 10 years and love it :)
  • Go for the Siemens, they are the same as high end Bosch now and still made in Germany, unlike Bosch which generally aren't anymore sadly. Siemens, Bosch and Neff are all part of the same group now.

    I went through the search process last year, and discovered that they are all much the same, i.e. not as good as they used to be, except for Miele.

    In the end I bought from John Lewis (their own brand\badge) just for the extended warranty. And it's a great machine.
    I don't like morning people. Or mornings. Or people.
