Ladies, can we talk washing machines please?

I think I'm about to spend £1254 on an LG 11kg washer and an LG 9kg condenser dryer. That includes Quidco. Scared.

I hope it comes with diamond encrusted washing powder at that price?:eek::eek:

She probably does, but to me that's a heck of a lot, bearing in mind when I moved I got a fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher for that. But some of those are the apparently dreaded Beko (which I love). But there you go, everyone has different ideas on what's a lot of money for these things.

Hold up! Have you ordered it yet? It only takes up to a kingsize 10.5 tog duvet. I tried my son's 15 tog kingsize one and it was too big for the machine. It's a big drum but not that big. I don't think you'd get a domestic machine big enough to take a superking duvet in.

I didn't realise beko was such a bad make!! My Mum has recently purchased a Beko washing machine and she thinks it's brilliant so far. She researches things thoroughly before buying things such as appliances so I'm very surprised it gets such a bad name!

It was one of the new Aqualtis machines I had been considering. Perfect spec for my needs, just wary of the brand. Hotpoint haven't really been good to me in the past.

It is funny how some people hate certain makes and others like them this is my 3rd washing machine in 19 years and every one of them has been a hotpoint

So bearing in mind i`ve only had this 6 months the 2 previous ones lasted just over 9 years each not bad considering how much washing i have with 3 messy lads doing roughly 2 washes a day.

I don't get the Beko reluctance?

I've had AEG, Bosch, LG and they were fine (although I won't be buying Bosch again). My year old Beko 8kg loader is right up there with them for quality in my opinion. I just ordered one of Beko's condenser dryers - also large load, dry washing sensor, easy empty and more.

Total cost for the 2? About £450.

The current Beko I have reminds me a lot of the LG I had, adored and had wrested from my grasp a few years ago.

I don't like Beko. I had a cooker and after a couple of years the door fell off! Hated that cooker with a passion. I also work in supported housing and when everyone's flats were refurbished, all the appliances put in, were Beko. All the washers and fridge/freezers were replaced after a couple of years as they were hopeless.

The flats were all done up in 2005. My own cooker was about the same time.
