Yawn. Washing Machine Miele or Bosch?

[Manyoaks]

Hi our 8 year old Bosch has just died and I am looking at be machines. The Bosch has been fine apart from very noisy and excess soap suds in the wash after it had finished. My preference would be a machine with metal paddles on the drum as opposed to plastic as I have has issues with these in the past on other machines. I notice now very few Bosch have metal paddles. Any advice? Thanks

I only do Miele!
I do have a Bosch dishwasher which is the business. But the washing machine is a Miele and it is just a workhorse! Fantastic. The best I've ever owned.

Miele - ours is about 4 years old now and is used every day. I was fortunate enough to find one with a 10 year warranty from John Lewis. Never had any trouble with it, or with the Miele tumble-drier, dishwasher, fridge-freezer or hob. (The idea is that if they all go for 25-odd years, they'll probably see me out!).

There is some great advice on here thank you everyone. So close to placing my order...I think. Hope it helps Kittywampus

Not either but we recently got a Samsung Addwash and it's a revelation. It's quiet as you like (our old one would scream whilst walking into the middle of the kitchen), there's a flap in case you drop a sock AND it plays a nice song when it's finished.

I had a bosch. was great but the electric in the front panel broke after 10 years.
replaced it with a miele which is still going great after 5 years.

Another one in love with my new samsung. I cannot believe how quiet it is. Keep having to go in to check it’s actually working.

Zanussi here brilliant I think some times are expectation for what we pay are too high .
A couple of hundred ££ for something that gets some hammer used up to 7 times a week
Years ago a washer cost you the equivalent of 1 or 2 months wages and lasted forever now you don't even pay a weeks wage for one you get what you pay for
