If you've recently researched washing machine best buys ...

... which did you choose, and are you happy with it?

My washing machine has been on the blink and has finally stopped working altogether, so I need a new one, preferably at the cheaper (and ideally quieter) end of the spectrum. I was hoping it would last until after Xmas, but sadly not!

We recently got a Hisense, I don't like it. All the cycles are really long, it's noisy, and the spin power is rubbish - despite it supposedly doing 1400 rpm, I often end up having to do another spin because the laundry is still sopping wet.
