Our six year Hotpoint's main bearings are on their way out and the
parts warranty is of course five years. This will be the very first
washing machine that I've owned whose bearings have died before the
rest of the machine is beyond economic repair.

You did well Tim.
Ours has just died at just over two years. The 'guarantee' is
effectively worthless. This was a sealed drum assembly. I know there are
ways of replacing the bearings, but TBH I couldn't face the grief. I
will never buy another Hotpoint appliance.

Miele is the best if you can afford.
Ours is nearly thirty years old.
Touch wood, only ever needed the waste filter cleaned out twice.


Zanussi here, coming up to 13 years ol, cleaned filter once.

My Bosch exploded at that age, but then it's had cat hairs and parrots ****/feathers to contend with.
