    I got a White Knight w/m delivered direct from the manufacturer for £160 in the Black Friday sales. It is well-made and from experience their products endure well. Good to be able to buy British, too.

    Hate to burst your bubble but White Knight {Crosslee) washing machines are made by Vestel in Turkey. Only the tumble driers are made in UK

    I'd suggest you take out a free (actually £1) trial of Which and check out the various reviews of machines.

    Your nearest library may well have this, so you could check there.

    @neilmcl my budget would be around 150, maybe a little bit more if i see something particularly good/will save more money in the long run.
    Yet, according to this site as an example, LG washing machines start at around £400, so your suggested brand is well outside the OP's budget.
