Our washing machine has broken - can’t get repairman in and it is 8 years old so thinking of buying a nice shiny new one. There is a good Samsung for £500 or I could really splash out and spend £900 on a Miele with a ten year guarantee, shorter wash time and quieter. Never spent that much on any white goods before and it feels a bit decadent, but hey, got to take our pleasures where we can get them at the moment, and with 4 kids, I need a decent washing machine. Any thoughts? Madness? Or are they worth it?!
