So our second hand Hotpoint is on it's very last leg and we need to find a replacement. Having never actually been to a shop and bought a new washing machine, I am completely out of my depth.
Our current one is a 6kg drum which is fine for our needs and we don't want a washer/dryer, but other than that I have no idea what I am looking for. 
We could probably stretch to around £400 for a new washing machine, but I don't want to buy something only to have to replace it again in a couple of years.
I've read that Bosch is a good brand, but within my budget is that possible?
