After 10 years of sterling service my Dyson washing machine has finally got to the point where it can't be repaired economically (as Dyson no longer service them.) So I am now looking for a large drum machine that is fairly flexible with programmes: what I loved about the Dyson was the lack of set programmes and the ability to choose temp, spin speed etc individually.
We previously had a fairly basic Bosch that was great but that's a long time ago.
My main problem however is money. Having coughed up the best part of £1,000 for the Dyson all those years ago, I'm not in a position to pay anything like that now, sadly (I could justify it when I had a baby in cloth nappies!)
At the moment I'm thinking in terms of one of the cheaper Bosch models, maybe the Exxcel Vario Perfect 8 kg which is around £400.
But does anyone have any other ideas? I'm open minded on make etc.
