The Best Washing Machines
10 Answers
I've have had a hotpoint Nextra7 for about 6 or 7 years now. I really like it as it has a 7kg drum and 1600 spin speed, but unfortunately it seems to be giving up the ghost and isn't spinning as it should. Has anyone any suggestions as to what is a good buy. Thanks.

In case it is the brushes, don't delay checking them out because then you may do serious damage to an otherwise good motor. If it is the brushes then the cost of replacing them is about the cheapest possible repair to a washing machine. We have a Hotpoint that is now in excess of 20 years old and has needed some nursing along the way, but still cheaper than replacing it every 5 years or so. I think I would not buy Hotpoint again but instead something that can genuinely be expected to last trouble free, 15-20 years is not too much to ask for and entirely possible but not common because of price competition (cheaper machine, less robust) and overall manufacturing policy. One of the biggest weakness is the electronics now built into these machines - when anything fails you need to replace not just that little component but the whole package it is fitted into - much the same with modern central heating boilers.
Depends on what you want - I've a Miele too and it's lasted 10 years without missing a beat - they are designed to last - they aim for 20 years.
However you might well get 2-3 Hotpoints for the price that would last that long too!
I'd watch out for Bosch - some of the cheaper ones in the range are made in places like Spain and aren't as well made but are still expensive.
I'd either go Miele if you can afford it or just go cheap and accept that it'll need replacing in another 6-7 years.
Not sure I see the point in mid range

So crudely speaking if your Miele lasts 20 years and the Hotpoint lasts 7 that's about the same lifetime per pound.
Of course you can get the Miele delivered in a big red Lorry with Miele written on the side so the whole street knows you're buying one
