My washers fucked and its canny old so just going to get a new one instead of getting it fixed. Would I be right in assuming Direct drive ones are the best?Any brands that should be avoided?
Yeah, don't put bricks in them. Brand-wise - AEG, Bosch, Siemens seem alright. Avoid Hotpoint or Beko, or any name you've never heard of.
iv bought about 30 washers in my time and tbh most are made to a very good standard now.. a lot are made same factory and re badged. iv got nothing bad to say about any brands... but i have heard hotpoint are iffy. if i where you i would get my arse down to Fenwicks sale and grab a Bosch, the cheapest you can afford and then stick it on their "4 payment pan" and spread the cost over 3 months. % free http://www.washerhelp.co.uk/
I found one I liked in the shops. went online and found it cheaper. searched for a discount code online and made it even cheaper. Think my parents have had a couple of issue with hotpoint washers and dryers. Never owned one myself
they are made to "only" last a few years iv read. I got a Miele when i got my house, cost about 5 times a normal washing machine costs but it got 15 years garentee which is unheard of like but shows you how good they are.
