very few bosch washing machines are made in germany, if any, they are made cheaply in spain. they ar enot great quality at all any more, and as someone who used to sell them i woud question whether they really were as good as people said years ago. you cant get a decent machine for under 300, sorry, but you can't. those who praise beko :rotfl:sorry, but you must be blind, they are appauling build quality with cheap parts and horrendous replacement part prices. still, each to their own, some people are happy with tat, i'm not

Some people are not happy with 'tat'; they are stuck with it as that's all they can afford.

So you suggest everyone spends £1k on Miele?


GF's dad recently bought a Miele and it is great, I also used to push them when I worked at Comet as they are reliable, but everything else is not tat.

I do think that something like Mele may be better than some of the bargain basements, not that I'm likely to buy one.

One reason you see more issues with the cheaper "brand" is that there is simply more of them around. They also probably get used the heaviest too.

We don't overload our machines and whilst we currently have 1400 spin rarely use it on that on the basis that we are under stressing it.

We have had 3 hotpoints 17, 5 and the current one is 2. The second one was still running just didn't know when it was going to give out and we had some spare wonga for anew one at the right price.

At the end of the day it washes clothes.



The one thing with cheaper brands is that they are not always so aesthetically pleasing, in part, to put you off I am sure. A bit like supermarket own brands especially the "value ranges".

Saw an advert for a new Hotpoint the other day - has new technology apparently - "hydro thermal" IIRC - isn't that warm water?

There are some interesting looking far eastern brands hitting our markets now. I wonder if the Koreans have similar debates?

lol B*llsh*t baffles brains, eh? :P

Good post btw

just to say I ended up getting the

beko wmb71642w


I got Comet to price match Sainsburys, so it was only £231.

Arrives Sunday, so fingers crossed it's nice!


Cheers.
