spec me a washing machine

[The Halk]

I don't think you want to be putting bleach anywhere near plates and cutlery that you'll eat from/with

That's what's making me think it may be a bad idea.

Welcome back to your sigs! Are there any new ones in there?

Hmm, I found this which does actually advocate using bleach. However the two Google searches above that both said to run two cups of vinegar through a cycle.

Not yet but there will be over the weekend.

 

[The Halk]

Ok, a bit of bleach it is, and then leave it open for a day with no manky yoghurt tubs in it.

I'm looking forward to the weekend now, just because of your sigs.

I've just repaired our old beko machine after 6 years of daily use. New bearings £35 from uk whitegoods and it's good to go again. That's all it has cost in repairs in all those years. I love it when cheapo items turn out to be uber value over the years.

Here's another. A five quid kettle from tesco used daily for 4 years. Outlasted my dads fancy £40 tefal kettle.

The Indesit is dire and for a little more than the Bosch you can get an LG.

how is it dire?

I wouldn't recommend an Indesit to anyone. I know what I repair the most of and it isn't LG.

 

[psd99]

[Danthus]

You seem to be ignoring my recommendation for LG, it is your choice obviously.

LG was expensive in store
the machines did look good

do u have a particular model in mind?

edit here http://www.prcdirect.co.uk/applianc...81td/product?gclid=CPDmi6SY0LACFSYhtAodK03RXg

 

[psd99]

I could stretch to £400 just about
never owned anything LG before

Wow I bet you're interesting

That 'discussion' was a one off. I'm rather shy TBH, I don't say boo to a goose in public, its probably why I'm still single.

I repair domestic appliances, some of what you have said is wrong, the cheaper Bosch kit is just made in Poland, it is not a badged product at all.

I was told most of it was.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

how is it dire?

I worked in a domestic appliance test lab for 27 years and sent reports all around the world.
Believe me that since 2004 Indesit, Ariston, Creda & Hotpoint are dire and built with the cheapest parts possible.

 

[Grimley]

Oh, I thought you were going to stop posting in these sort of threads?

 

[The Halk]

Which? don't agree with you on Hotpoint Dimple.

This is their top 10 washing machine best buys.

Something to point out though is that while they meet the Which? criteria for reliability, they aren't especially reliable in comparison to the other brands.

 

[Danthus]

How many repairs do Which carry out?

 

[The Halk]

Because carrying out repairs is the only possible way to determine how good a product is...
