A list of best buys/brads would be very very helpful indeed! Thanks!

Our Zanussi has just got another problem and we've just spent £70 on repairing something, the temp is failing in the fridge argggh. I did buy it on Which recommendation last time, but I still have unflagging faith in Which. I know Bosch generally a good brand but not sure if we can afford it.

Don't get a miele!!! I've had one for 8 months (brand new) and the fridge is freezing everything up. Their response was to try and charge to send someone to look at it even though in the gauarantee period and only 5 working days after the call.

I've had boschs before - half the price and much more reliable.

It's ok, we got a bosch delivered last week & it's looking good so far. Must say though, it's not as well designed as the zanussi or with as much space for same dimensions. But if it doesn't break down for several years that will be great!

Very useful thread. Am about to buy wm, drier, fridge & freezer.
Do we think the same applies to washing machines and driers? German over anything else?

I certainly think some brands are known for the ir reliability e.g. bosch - I thought the website that littlelapin linked to most useful to reading up on reliability across all white goods. It's pretty clear once you read up a bit which brands to avoid (e.g. hotpoint!). There is a polish brand meant to be very good, I just can't remember the name of it. We have a bosch dishwasher which has been pretty brilliant, and a miele wm which is fine so I guess german is pretty good!
