A Good Washing Machine?
Hi,
I need to buy a new washing machine. I know Which guides are normally on point and so would like to know what the top rated machine is according to the consumers bible(!).
Should I be looking at a particular brand perhaps or is Hotpoint as good as Bosch?

It all depends on your requirements. Will it be a fitted built-in machine? If so then Zanussi make a good, reliable model. If it's a stand alone machine, Bosch are extremely reliable, reasonably quiet machine at a good price. Usually I buy the middle of the range model as the cheaper end tend to be tinny and made with cheap materials. Also, the middle range machines are sturdier and a better quality finish. It can be false economy to by cheap. Incidentally, I have an Integrated Electronic New Jetsystem Turbo Washer Dryer ... It cost £570.00 including VAT. Hope that helps.
