Washing machine advice

[brunel12]

My washing machine has broken and making a burning smell, can anyone advise on a reliable replacement? My budget is around £300. Thanks.

Beko. We've had a couple over the years and they're reliable with a good selection of programmes. Current one allows you to select to run programmes faster, adjust spin speed and temperature.

Samsung- they have a five year warranty. Just buy the cheapest one you can find with the warranty.

I've bought graded washing machines on eBay a couple of times. You can get brand new machines with a few dents (often on the sides so no one will ever see them) for hundreds less than the new price. They often come with the usual warranty for the appliance too. Just as an example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156062195061?epid=2321806947&itmmeta=01HQ0DSQFFGPYMQCD6EH6V57PA&hash=item2456081d75%3Ag%3AjiIAAOSwCadlzJsF&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4FnDLNxziGx523bp5VJdFxVXsvfrFh4jOI90C0vKcLIVxYm5t9VqsjsnBWq00oDvGR4Yjykk6%2BBpqeQisQHeoDbmfpb2v9VO4oZsoJeIDLGlsv38xTFd4Fqvofi5V0Bm9iiL5AUzNOJEAyUnUCdaCc6txUA9g7hCVP1Pp8I3LvKTrTKyWt%2Bb%2FrJ%2BbapNPXyVOWE6ASjwpKITRNOhHm3Idyw3AhsUgG5nvbdA%2B%2F3l6r9wjIMOmIuLgHfMHyX08wrnj%2BdGMhUOAlJfgqtDgkrUg96fuJ374UVDeoe9zabVmiFv%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-T35o24Yw&LH_ItemCondition=1500
