washing machine advice

[patchworkchick]

my washer dryer has broken down, looking for something reliable and not insainly expensive - has to be intergrated. Any one had experience of the De Dietrich DLZ693BU or Smeg WDI147? Is Miele really worth it?

I think Miele is worth it for washing machines. They are very well built, reliable, quiet and wash the clothes well. I am on my second Miele ( my first lasted 17 years which included the time when my dcs were babies).

Had to use a Hoover in a temporary house recently and it was awful in comparison.

PS I don't work for Miele!

my brother has an Integrated Zanussi washer dryer. Seems to be fairly good by washer dryer standards.
