Advice request for slim-depth washer dryer under 57cm

The problem

The poster wanted recommendations for a washer dryer less than 57cm deep, with a budget of about £600, and was concerned about reliability, particularly for Beko model WDR85P14N1W. They also mentioned Zanussi, John Lewis 1614, Belling and LG as options.

Likely cause

No appliance fault was reported. The discussion focused on product choice, size constraints and general reliability concerns. It was noted that washer dryers are usually cramped for internal space and are unlikely to be less than a normal 60cm depth, so published dimensions needed checking carefully.

What fixed it

The accepted advice was to confirm the actual dimensions of each model, as some quoted depths may differ, and to choose based on fit and warranty rather than expecting major build-quality differences between most brands. The John Lewis model was highlighted as potentially having a 3-year guarantee. General comments said Beko is a cheaper brand but no specific bad reliability reputation was confirmed in the discussion.

Checks to try

• Compared quoted cabinet depths for the shortlisted models
• Checked whether Beko WDR85P14N1W was listed as 54cm or 59cm deep
• Confirmed that John Lewis, Zanussi and Belling models would fit the space
• Noted the John Lewis model had a 3-year guarantee
