A New Washing Machine...

[janzman]

...Our washing machine is now making such a noise the time has come to replace it.Mrs Janz and me (just we two) want 'build quality' over 'bells and whistles',our budget is up to £350..There are so many manufacurers and their models to choose from, we dont know where to start.Of course I can read reviews and compare prices but does anyone have any personal reccomendations.Thanks.

I'd just use the review sites and go by what you can afford. Worth looking at the noise rating, as a quieter one is worth having, and some can have a very noisy spin cycle.
once you decide what you're happy with google the make & model and get a good deal. Plenty of places like Tesco now selling them and well priced.

Buy from John Lewis - they give you a second year's guarantee for no extra charge.

I like Bosch for simple and reliable. But whatever you decide, go with someone who'll deliver and take away the old one within your budget.

Many thanks I like Bosch too.
