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!
This thread is a little old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for washing machine recommendations, we’ve recently updated our best washing machines and best budget washing machines pages with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users. We hope you find them useful.
