Washing Machine Recommendations please

Not a Hotpoint.

Max £300 budget (yes I know but its a desperate situation after a weeks wet camping, no clean clothes and two small children)

JL offer Bosch, Beko, Zanussi or Indesit.

Many thanks

The best washing machine we've had is a Bosch, I'd go for Bosch WAN24100GB Freestanding £329 at ZHohn Lewis

John Lewis

We have just got the zannussi washer dryer from John Lewis. It's above your budget a bit but (a) I'm really impressed that it washes well and is really quiet so maybe their standard washer - which should be in budget- will be similar and (b) the dryer function actually works. We had dry sheets and towel at the weekend. Almost fell of my perch. I was expecting it to heat and steam them a bit (like previous hotpoints in rental flats I've lived in).

Good luck

Miele are the best you can get. Bosch are a close second, though only the Series 4 models and up. The bottom end ones aren't even made by Bosch anymore.

Can you stretch to £329?
