Bush Washing Machine

[maggie01]

Has anyone purchased a bush washing machine and if so what is your oppinion of it. I have just purchased one awaiting delivery but the reviews were a bit mixed

Years ago there were many English companies that made electronics and white goods. When many of these companies went bankrupt the only thing of value was the "name".

So for example Goodmans used to make stereos and when they went bankrupt Comet bought their name and just stuck a Goodmans badge on any cheap stereo or hi fi or TV and sold it in their Comet store (and only in Comet).

The same happened to Bush. It WAS a company that made things, then they went bankrupt and somebody just bought the name. Now it is owned by Argos.

But you now have no idea who makes a product with the "Bush" name, it could be anyone.

So personally I would not buy anything made by Bush as it is just a product badged by Argos but made in China, Turkey or wherever.

And because it is only sold by Argos you have no idea how it compares with other products that are sold on the "open market" in all shops.

Is it too late to cancel the order and by a product made by a better company?

Bush is an Argos own-brand and is made to sell at a low price, so you can't expect too much! Which? reports are mixed, too - good cotton wash, but slow ie long programmes and noisy.

Oh dear! the reviews did say it was quiet. Didn't realise it was exclusive to argos
