What brand of washing machine?

[DeliveringCakes]

Ours has just broke, was a Samsung bought for £400 and lasted 5 years, 3 months. I'm a bit angry it didn't last very long considering price/brand.

So please can I have recommendations for good long lasting washing machine brands?

The cheaper the better, obviously. Definitely couldn't afford over £400!

I bought an AEG, 16 years ago cost a fortune but it's still going strong. I can't remember what I had before but it kept breaking and a family friend who's in the know said to get an AEG.

Household with 2 teenagers and so washer feels like it's permanently on!

I was coming on to recommend LG I'm also on my second 1st was 10 years old, was a circuit board fault . So just bought a new machine.lots of programmes but easy to use .

We are on our second Miele machine. The first one lasted over 20 years. I think this one we have now was just over £500 from AO.

AO have a Bosch one at just over £400 and a Miele one at £599. It's worth it when you consider that a call out plus spares for a cheaper model would add up.
