Im hoping someone can help me decide on anew washing machine upto £200 or less,,im currently redundant so on a budget.

So far ive come across a beko WM5100 £169 dixons (loads of reviews)
and an indiset IWB71250 £199 on offer (cant find many reviews)

has anyone got either of the washers,or have one of them make washers who can help me decide or even come up with better washer for the same price.

    Have a good look around but sub £200 are all going to be the same quality.

    Hi

    Sorry to hear about your situation but really if I were you I would not touch a washing machine at this price point. I know this probably doesn't help but I would be looking at the launderette. Frankly manufacturers can't make washing machines at this money without some serious compromises which in the end will just cost you money.

    Could you visit shops & maybe find a better quality washing machine ex-display/clearance? Sometimes they do have a lot of money off, or wait till January sales??

    Thanks guys,,its real pain it breaking right now,its been a struggle this last few months

    I decided to try and replace the bearing myself in the washer as its only a fiver!,,got it stripped down,,rear bearing come out a treat,,front bearing is stuck in solid!i just cannot get it out,,its not been a bad machine as its 12 years old,i bought it of my sister inlaws brother 5 years ago for £50..he had it from new,but only do 2 washes a wk living alone.sometimes 3.

    I know im not going to get a lot for under £200,,but thought if im going to get one id like the best for my money.

    That is a good website. Thanks for that.

    OP - What about a 2nd hand washing machine until things get a bit better for you? Is that worth a try?

    thanks again,,the bosh machines would be an ideal buy,but i just cant afford one,,im really pushing the boat out at 200.

    Ive been checking the best buy website out,as i seen the beko washer they have at 179.99 is 152.99 with that code but its out of stock,,I think it being posted on hotukdeals might of not helped :D

    Been to a few local places that do 2nd hand washing machines,and a lot in stock,but they was around 100-125,,for machines that was in the 3-5 year old bracket,no idea if they was used daily,or hammered with overloading.

    I local washer repair huy said he is getting 2 machines in next week,they will be 125 each,and are 2 year old,but he hasnt seen them yet,think he said they are hotpoint.3 months warranty.

    Knowing my luck the fridage wil pop next,,matsui 19 years old hahaha:rotfl:

    must admit though if i could afford a decent washer i prob would be going for a bosh

    Have you tried freecycle? People sometimes get rid of stuff that is absoutely fine. Got to be worth a look
