I have a 5 yo Hotpoint condenser dryer which has been a bit of a 'mare since we bought it (door catch replaced 4+ times, the belt and wheel had to be replaced -DH did it so only a few £).
But it is really noisy and I wouldn't imagine very energy efficient. It lives in the garage where it can be as noisy as it likes, but it means I have to trot down the garden.
So, I want to replace it before winter.
I've got a Bosch WM, so would a Bosch TD be a good buy? I need a big drum but not so bothered about different cycles IYSWIM (warm/hot would be fine)
I can't justify Miele prices.
Has anyone got a John Lewis own brand? Can you recommend them?
Vacuum cleaner- I had an Oreck but it needed a roller replaced and even after, the pick up isn't good and it smells of burning (like a lighted match, not rubber <img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Confused" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/confused-DVrVQwAF.png"> )
I want an upright ,but I don't need all the tools and extras (I've got a handheld Oreck for the stairs). 3 bedrooms+hall +stairs are carpeted.
Small enough to tuck away in the hall.
