Anyone bought a large capacity washing machine that they'd recommend?

My washing machine was bought when pg with dd1 who is now 8, it's done a sterling job so far but it's time to upgrade. I fancy a large capacity one for obvious reasons - the tumble dryer is in silver, so I'd ideally get a silver washing machine too. Any recommendations?

I have the Hotpoint Ultima WT741. 7kg family load. 1400 spin. Good energy rating.
I've had it about a year and it's really good, I have 3 children under 6 and it copes really well.

Mine is white, but I'm sure they did a silver option aswell.

I love my Hotpoint Aqualtis-not convinced it comes in silver though....
