Best fridge/freezer and washing machine?

Hey folks,

Will be moving house in the not too distant future and so will need to buy the above items as the kitchen we currently have has fully integrated appliances. I'd also like to buy a dishwasher but don't know if there'll be space in the new house.

Anyone any recommendations? Also where do you reckon is the cheapest place to buy these items?

TIA x

Look at all the options and then look on line for the cheapest supplier.

I have an Indesit washer which I bought 2 years ago, around £250 I think, Fridge freezer ours is a biggie a Bosch, bought it from a friend for £150, but its 60cms wide and about 6ft tall, she bought an American fridge, had only just bought the Bosch and offered it to me, snapped her hand off, its self defrosting on both frodge and freezer. I have a White Knight condensor dryer £190 cannot remember where I got it from, but did an internet search for the cheapest...... dish washer we had a narrow one in our old house cost around £199 it was a Tricity Bendix....... had 4 programmes and was just as good as the more expensive ones. wish I still had it, but we just could not get it in this kitchen........ another thing is to look at good housekeeping see what their recommendations are, although they do tend to go for the expensive option, which in my opinion is not always the best you get get the same results from a cheaper machine if you look. Make sure you go for the lower energy options too, all the appliances I have are A rates for energy consumption etc.....
