new kitchen

[Connemmara]

As I am getting a new kitchen in the future I was in a kitchen fitter/shop yesterday and they said they supplied their own appliances and I would get them at cost price. However I myself want the best washing machine.

Can any of you tell me ( I think it goes by RPM) driest - the highest rpm for a washing machine. I googled and it seems to go up to 1600 - my own has two settings 600 which was a gentler spin but very wet and 1000 spin which was a bit drier. Any enlightenment here cos this will be the last kitchen I will be putting in and I want everything to be right. Thanks for any help

I've got a 1400 spin and its brilliant even towels dry quickly after that so a 1600 should make a huge difference

i dont know what the highest is but my Seimens washer is 1600 max i think and washing comes out pretty well spun.

When I had a builder replace my extension he said he could also supply and fit the kitchen units using his discount. It seemed a good idea at the time, but looking back it was a bad idea. I'd employed him to build an extension, not fit a kitchen. I spend ages redoing stuff after he left that his low competence employees had screwed up.

Just my opinion but in future I'm going to employ folk to do one thing, and it should allow me freedom to get what I really want elsewhere, supplied and fitted by those I choose. Rather than get swayed by discounts or cost prices.
