If you have bought a new washing machine recently which one and why?

[callmeovercautious]

And are you pleased with your choice?

There are so many about I can't make up my mind

We have Bosch everything. Even our iron is a Bosch one (and this despite the fact that they come from the land of leather lace-up lurve trousers). They are v reliable (except the first iron, which blew up) and reasonably priced; we got them all from John Lewis.

john lewis because of what cookingmama said and it is cheapish (£270)

We just bought a Bosch - 7kg and a 1400 spin - we were looking at Miele but they don't have a delay timer (at least the reasonably priced ones don't) which doesn't suit our needs at all.

Got an Indesit W110 6 months ago. It was £170. I like it.
