which recommend Bosch

i went four weeks to buy a bosch and came away with an 'LG'! its absolutely wonderful; 7.5kg drum , so less washes; cold fill; aaa rating; only takes about 80 mins for a decent wash; my zanussi used to take 2.5 hours which is why i got rid of it after only two years.
I paid �500, through comet and this included 5 years warranty.
i really dont think you can beat this!
hope this helps!

sorry didnt read properly! i'd still recommend the 'LG' washer tho! If you didnt want the 5 year warranty you still have change if you bought a dryer!

I have been married for 26 years and only had 2 washing machines. My AEG lasted 20 years. Only got rid of it cos i wanted a new one, nothing wrong with it. Now got a Bosch which I've had for 6 years with no problems. Both makes are expensive but you get what you pay for in my opinion. Both recommended

Hotpoint / Creda all the way! My mum had there hotpoint washing machine from when i was 4 until i was about 16! Absolutely no problems with it until it packed up at the end! Apparently creda is the same make as hotpoint now and she has since got a creda its been going for 5/6 years now and still no problems!
