Cheap, reliable washing machine

[borednotboring]

I need to buy a cheap, reliable washing machine, what makes should I be looking at? Where is the best place to buy, just looking at John Lewis website now, but don't know what I'm looking for

John Lewis own brand are very good. They are made by AEG.

Me too. Mine pissing water everywhere. Watching with interest. I had an indesit which was cheap and lasted 8 years.

My washing machine man says Bosch are very good - he would recommend an entry level model.

They are also easily repaired - he fixed my 13 yo washing machine for £50 and it's as good as new.

In contrast the AEG tumble dryer broke down after 8 years and cost £££ to fix.

Buy anything except Beko and be vary of rebranded Beko rubbish.

Bosch are certainly a very reliable brand

If you buy from John Lewis they give a two-year guarantee.

Learn how to empty the pump filter before you lose the instruction book.

I also recommend putting the powder into the drum rather than the drawer, and doing periodic hot hot hot service washes with a cup of washing soda and no powder.

Thanks, very helpful, lots of good advice

Don't buy beko my breeze block fell out after 1 year! I ave a Hoover candy very good

Bosch

I have the Argos Pro Action washing machine. £159. Brilliant. It washes clothes just how a washing machine should
