Can anyone recommend their washing machine?

[reup]

Mine has just bitten the dust. They only seem to last about 4 years for me so I wanted to find out if anyone has one that lasted longer.

Don't need any exciting features except a 30 degree/handwash setting.

Am so annoyed its before Xmas as I don't think I can wait for the sale with 1-2 loads a day.

Miele 2240
8 years no issues
miele are the nuts

are they lot more expensive than normal one? (Obviously worth it in the long run if it lasts for twice as long!)

Will go and google

We have a Beko WME8227W - love it.

My Whirlpool packed up 2 days ago, and the repair guy said it was knackered, only had it for 3 yrs and it was the worst I have ever bought! Loads of people have said Miele and I think I am going to bite the bullet and get one, the cheapest one is about £680 but everyone who I know who has one loves it, and they don't seem to eat small socks which all my other washing machines have done! Our current machine is the 4th I have had in 11 yrs, so I think now is the time to invest in a decent one! Good Luck with your search!

thanks everyone. Mine was a whirlpool too. A friend also recommended a John Lewis machine. I think they are made by AEG or Zanussi.

So many decisions.... I would love a miele but am so broke at the moment.

I wonder if those calgon type things protect really protect yr machine. we live in a hard water area.
