Default John Lewis mash m/c - any good?

Our old washing machine seems to be destined for the great spin cycle in
the sky[1] so new one time. John Lewis have their own brand JLWM1200 for
£230[2] but it seems to be made by Zanussi to JL's spec[3].

I thought Zanussi were generally reckoned to be crap. Does the fact John
Lewis use them make them OK or make John Lewis crap?


[1] house RCD cut out last weekend. Magic smell seemed to be escaping
from machine. Investigation revealed no obvious damage on PCB but motor
brushes down to nothing. eBayed some more & put them in today. RCD
clicked straight off again. Don't think I can justify shelling out on new
PCB or professional repair on ancient machine (Bosch Maxx WFL2260).
