Washing machine with 1600 cycle on quick wash?

Options
I'm looking for a new washing machine and mainly use a quick wash on my existing one, but I have to give it an extra spin whenever I do. I'm looking for a reasonable capacity (8 kg minimum) with a fast spin speed.

Any recommendations welcomed, though I don't think I can run to £1k for some of the top of the range machines. I've had a Bosch but had to have it repaired so many times (mainly problems with the drum and spinning) I'd prefer something more reliable.

    My Miele has a 1400 spin quick wash, I'm not sure if it's the same on their 1600 models? I find the 1400 does a great job.

    Many programs will have a lower spin as standard but adjustable to the higher speeds check the manuala.

    Speed is not everything check the retained moisture specs.

    Thanks - after lots of research, it appears that quick washes and high spin speeds are not very compatible on most machines. In the end I chose a Samsung Ecobubble that has adjustable temperatures, speeds and times. I've just had it delivered so now need to read the manual to find the best combination for regular use. The couple of washes I've done on 1400 spin speed have come out well, so this may be sufficient.
