Reccomend me a washing machine 2024

[kalidarkone]

My second hand bosch has been marvellous and have had it 10 years It has been making terrible grinding noises. I decided to give it a good old clean to get rid of the lime scale but little to late. Now it's just tripping the leccy.

I require a free standing one and at the most do 2- 4 washes a week. Less when I'm living on my own.
Budget- up to £500

Might just need the heating element replacing.

My AEG is about 10 years old and going strong.

Go German. My Siemens one has survived 3 house moves, being in storage in a cold garage for 3 months and is nearly 10 years old and still going strong

My Beko one, which I seem to remember are fairly cheap, is over 12 years old, not had any problems with it.

 

[gosub]

Bought a Haier last year..liking it

BTW, I tend to buy appliances from ao.com, I've never found better deals.

Beko is a Turkish brand, owned by a company called Arcelik, which always makes me smile

Check Which for a month's subscription? Or anyone here have a subscription - I did for a while but stopped it.

I bought a Bosch 9kg 1400 rpm in January and its the quietest washing machine I've ever had. It was 690 euros but white goods are often more expensive here

 

[Maggot]

According to Which, the best one for under £500 is the

Zanussi ZWF942E3PW​

Which is about £380.

In an ideal world, all the barmen would be Irish, and all manufacturers of cars and household appliances would be German.

always had good luck with Kenmore brand. it is a Sears derivative. Is that available in UK? Second choice would be Whirlpool

Big Siemens fans here too, we’ve lived here 20 years and are on our 2nd machine, first one had already been here a few years when we moved in.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I just do service wash at the launderettes.

A google search suggests that Kenmore don't seem to have made it to the UK, although there are a couple of outfits stocking spare parts for their products!

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

“Can’t we go to rumblelows?”

My best input, although I concur on the German models.

 

[Plumdaff]

I've always checked Which! and have never regretted it.

 

[story]

Always a Bosch imo kalidarkone . And The Spin Doctor, who is our local independent white goods repair guy here in Brixton, also recommends Bosch. He says they take longer to go wrong, it’s easier to get the parts if they do go wrong, they're easier to fix, and they respond better to being fixed than do other brands.

 

[keybored]

+1 for Bosch. It even rhymes with wash after all.

 

[kalidarkone]

I've whittled the choice down to a couple of Bosch's.

 

[Riklet]

Just phone a repair guy and get it fixed. It's a 10 year old Bosch almost certainly fixable and much cheaper than a new one.

Read the OP. It's a second hand machine that I have had for 10 years.
I'm not interested in repairing it. Hence the thread about BUYING a new one.

Never heard of kenmore but i think mine is a whirlpool (not at home to check that right now) and not had any problems with mine. It's about 3 years old.

Up the Bosch's

 

[kalidarkone]

I had to get MDK1 to pull the washing machine out, as was quite wedged cus the the work top has warped somewhat. Neither me or fella could manage it. But MDK1 is a mountain of a man and a furniture removal sevant.

It's coming on the 6th.
Bosch series 4. £499 plus recycling and installation. £519 in total.

I am 54 and this is my first ever brand new washing machine.

 

[MBV]

I'm in my 40s and have never purchased one. The current one was left by a tennant in a flat I used to rent. I do have to punch it several times to get the digital readout to show so it's time may be up soon.

The recycling services are a god send.

It had almost 5 whole stars and had been reviewed by 808 people. I actively avoided anything "smart" tbh not even keen on touch screen . I find a big knob is best and have gone for that.
