Advice on buying a washing machine?

SquirrelNutkins · 21 July 2014 at 2:24PM

I need to buy a washing machine, don´t want to spend more than 200 Quid. I dont care as long as it does it´s job, so no need to spend a fortune. What´s important is, that I need them to deliver and put it up. Any suggestions as to where I can order one with "putting it up service" (Im sure it´s not called that

) ??? Thanks.

Argos do a delivery and installations service, but you do obviously pay extra for it.

So do Tesco on some models so I'm guessing the other big places do as well. It may be cheaper to find a local independent - we have a factory seconds shop that will also install.
They really are very easy to install yourself though: the instructions tell you how and you can also check on you tube. The main thing is to make sure the shipping bolts are removed before you use it. A 10 minute job, even for the most incompetent diy-er ie me.

Thanks. I would really like to find a local shop, but the one Ive had a look at was too expensive for me. I dont have a car, so cant look around much. I`ll have a snoop around Argos. The place where the washing machine is suppoesd to go is a prebuild "waching machine hole" next to the shower, it will fit in there really snug and I´d rather have someone else have the pleasure of bothering with that
