Spec me a washing machine

My 12 year old 7kg Samsung has finally bitten the dust.
I’m looking for something bigger - any reason not to go full ham on a 12kg?

I don’t really need WiFi as I can trigger alerts via a smart plug.
I don’t want a dryer combo as apparently they’re not great anyway.

Any recommendations on brand? I’d like to keep it simple and as cheap as possible without buying rubbish.

Not a hisense washer dryer combo, not that it's bad but one of the time cycles for wash and dry is 11(ELEVEN) hours 30 minutes!

LG F4Y509WWLA1_WH is what I bought 2.5 years ago. It’s been decent enough. Very much rate autodosing

LG are fantastic. Can't go wrong with the Direct Drive. 5 years warranty.

This one is 10kg for £399 here with free delivery at the moment. Normal price is around £549, so this is a decent discount.

We just bought a Bosch Series 6, fantastic, Series 6 dryer is equally good. Both come with a 5 year warranty
