Which Washing machine

Had a samsung adwash couple of years back. Bearings went inside 18 months. So swapped back to LG. Our last LG went on for 10 years. The washer is on everyday,  so plenty of use.

Only problem I have with LG is that their current range does not include any smaller machines (7-8Kg) , the smallest they do is 9Kg which is a bit big for our requirements.  Turns out the old Hotpoint was only 6Kg but that has been fine for years.

Of modern machines Ebac bearings are replaceable, Miele are not, I don't know about others.

What is the parts availability and cost like for Ebac machines?  Just did a quickGoogle search and couldn't find any spares available which was a little dissapointing.

I've no idea, there aren't many of them about so I don't suppose the usual suspects will stock parts. Does their website say anything about spares/repairs?

Spoken to Ebac:

• All parts will be available at sensible prices but none required yet as all machines are still under warranty, early machines had a ten-year warranty. Any parts required in the meantime they will supply direct.
• Service manual - not willing to sell me one at the moment as all repairs carried out by their warranty Engineers.
