Cheap, decent washing machine for under £200?

LondonDiva

Help!

My friend's machine's broken down & she needs a washing machine for under £200 asap.

The cheapest I can find is the Indesit 1100 Spin Washing Machine WIA111 for about £190 + p&p through dixsons.

Has anyone come across, or know of, a better deal?

"If you want to beat the washday blues, buy a Bosch (91%), Miele (92%), Siemens (91%) or Tricity Bendix (95%).........."

At the bottom was:
Hotpoint 76%
Indesit 78%
Whirlpool, Servis, Hoover, Ariston 79%

So, I'd look at Tricity Bendix first.

I'd be interest to see how the LG Direct Drives did on the test we've had one five years and its great. Just had the bearings replaced under warranty so should last at least another 5 years.
