in I wanna buy it or do it
My 15 year old Bosch washing machine finally gave up the ghost today :(:(

Can't complain - never ever broke down during its washing life-time, but need a new one now. Would love another Bosch but they look a bit pricey. Any recommendations as to a good reasonably priced machine, please ;)

    How much are you wanting to spend on a replacement?

    The Bosch WAE24367GB Avantixx is a Which Best Buy at around £386
    Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End

    I'd personally avoid the beko one from Argos. Takes forever to do a 40 wash :/
    4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j
