    Bosch appliances come with a two year guarantee as standard. Buy with a Nationwide Credit Card and get a free extra year guarantee.

    I cannot speak highly enough of John Lewis. Their own brand appliances are excellent value for money and the after sales service (if you need it) is second to none.

    Whatever you buy, dont buy Hoover.The wife is giving me nothing but grief about the Hoover we bought 1 1/2 years ago, it is very poor at cleaning..I can not wait for it to break so she can choose something else. :-D

    Bought a hot point wt721- mind you the previous models we had were ok, reason for buying another.

    1 year 20 days and the whole drum was replaced. Luckily I got a free year from using my credit card but am peed never the less.
