Buying A New Washer
HI
My washing machine packed in last week, so need to buy a new one, I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount but also don't want a cheap machine either. i was looking around the £500-£600 mark.
Family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids (15 & 3).
I have no idea what brand to buy - I can see that everyone seems to rate Miele as by far the best but I saw this at John Lewis - would anyone vouch for it?

Thanks
Shaun

Advice on choosing a new washing machine in the £500-£600 range
- The problem
- The existing washing machine had failed and the poster wanted buying advice for a replacement, with a budget of about £500-£600. They asked specifically whether a Siemens WM14Y891GB i-DOS freestanding washing machine was a good choice.
- Likely cause
- No appliance fault diagnosis was discussed. The thread was about selecting a replacement machine after the previous washer had packed in.
- What fixed it
- The accepted reply said a Siemens washing machine should be a decent choice, but not in the same league as Miele for build quality. It also stated that Siemens and Bosch are owned by the same company, with Siemens positioned as a higher-spec and higher-price alternative to Bosch.

Hello Shaun, your link wouldn't work and I couldn't get it to work. However, I could see it was a Siemens washing machine, which should be decent though not in the same league as a Miele for build quality. Siemens are owned by the same company that owns Bosch and they sell them as higher spec (and price bracket) alternatives to Bosch. Check out Why subscribe to Which? for more details
