whoo my washing amchine is dead! completely dead!

[misdee]

i took out extra warrenty with domestic and general. it died last week on me, enginneer came out to have a look, said it would be expensive to fix, got a call today, thewy are writing the old machine off and i will get a letter in the post about a lvoely shiney new one.

how fab!

pleased your getting a new machine...

what machine was it that broke.... only ask cause in the enxt month ill be investing in a new washing machine and dont really want one thats just gonna break

You need a Miele.

Spenny to start with.............but well worth the money.

cr*ppy cheap servis. it was only 3years old but this was the 3rd time its packed up. no idea when they will replace it with. probably another cheap machine.

twas £80 for 5year cover. am only in teh 2nd year of extra cover. well worth it.

Nah, you want a Bosch, misdee. Miele may last longer but they cost loads more and technology overtakes them all after about 5 years - the difference between my new Bosch and my old one is incredible.

Hang on a sec, will get which report for you.

Oh, which are updating their website atm so I can't check.

If they don't insist on supplying you with a particular machine and just offer you the money, how much was your old one? You could get this one for £240.

they are offering me this one but have been told to look through argos and comet to see if there are any others i like. can anyone recommend?

Does that mean you have a budget of £325 then?

I have this Bosch one and it is fantastic - I know a few others on here have it and they all think it's fantastic too.

That was me btw

Damn, it's no longer available - they cross-reference to this one but "cosmetic differences" include not having a remaining-time display

misdee, our fridge died a few weeks ago - 4 days before hte extended warranty expired!

Our policy allowed us to have a similarly priced fridge or pay the difference for a more expensive one.

Hope it arrives soon, it took 2 weeks between the fridge conking out and the new one to arrive. Not funny in a heatwave - and I can't imagine being without a washing machine with young children either

what do you think of this one? its half price.
