Bush you say? - can I ask what your machine is?

It's an A---Q - can't quite remember the actual model number but they were selling it in Argos, still, last summer.
It's literally the basic model, yet even by today's standards, a quick wash that is 30 mins with no loss of water temperature.

Many thanks for the reply anyuser.

Very kind of you.

And to all who replied.

Having fiddled with the old one a bit more, decided that it is really past it (it's something over 15 years old) and so went for this:

Could have had it for a fiver less when delivery and recycling taking into account from AO but I liked the way the Co-Op sounded on the phone and they deliver sharpish.

While t runs I'm fairly confident it will be better than my old machine which cost more - machines have come on since it was born.

Let's just hope it lasts as long as I need it.

I'm sure it will be fine. I still have ringing in my ears the words of the Miele engineer who replaced a heating element in our just out of warranty Miele machine and charged us more than you have paid for your new Beko. I said "Blimey..I could have bought a new Beko for less" and his reply..... was... "Yeah you could, but the difference is a Miele washes clothes".

Frankly at that point I could happily have dropped it on his head. Best of luck with your new washer.

Hope you are pleased with your new w/m OP.

Just wanted to add that I have used Co-op to buy appliances (cooker, cooker hood and lappy) in the last year or so and found them to be excellent.

I really like their one hour delivery slot and customer service. Due to delays the cooker wasn't installed for a few months. And when it was installed there were some runners for the oven missing. Co-op sorted it out without a quibble. Very pleased.

Hi all and betterdays.

Well how the machine goes remains to be seen (and it does only have a single year guarantee) but I can agree wholeheartedly with betterdays take on the co-op.

Text and email as promised late afternoon/very early evening with a one hour delivery slot. Then, on the morning a call from the removal/delivery team that they werev within ten minutes of me. Turned up at the beginning of the delivery slot, nice to deal with despite a bit of faff on the parking (no - one's fault - my location).


I was also, as I said, impresessed with the way the person at the co-op dealt with my initital questions on the phone - freephone number as well.

And I wouldn't normally be considered an easy customer.

Now over to Beko.
