Help me find a decent washing machine and tumble dryer

boblar

I'm looking for a new washing machine and tumble dryer. I currently have an Indesit washer dryer which I have never been impressed with and rarely use the dryer part as it's so useless. We have just become a family of 4 (including a husband who plays sport 3-5 times a week) and our washing is just piling up in this weather as we can't get it all dry.

In reality we need to do a wash every day, or at least every other day, and obviously we will need to get it dry too. I'm looking for reasonably priced machines that are good value for money as I'm currently on maternity pay.

Any suggestions?
