Washing machine recomendations

[MigGirl]

Hi, my washing machine has finally given up its over 20 years old and a John lewis machine.

I was hoping to get something a bit cheaper this time but are there actually any good budget brands out there? I really don't want one with wi-fi, that just seems like another thing to go wrong on it.

Anyone had any good experience recently of good brands. My head has been going round and round to trying to find one I'd actually be happy with.

I need a quick wash on it and preferably something that doesn't take 3 hours to do a regular cycle. Energy efficiently isn't so much of an issue as I normally run it during the day when our solar panels are generating.

Just got the bosh and I’m very impressed, it’s also super quiet, there’s a button to decrease timing on some programs.

i have the basic miele (w1 or something).
its brilliant. no wifi. no silly tunes.

easy to select programs, then choose temp, choose spin and go. normal 30 or 40 cotton cycle is 1.5 hours or i can do a boil wash about 2 hours.

i also wool items on delicate cycle 38 mins. never ruined anything.

1400 spin gets stuff pretty dry.

i have had mine for about 5 years and i wouldn't change it.
