Time has arrived for a new washing machine.
Any advice as to which one to get so that it can be fixed when it
starts to age?

Miele
Or accept a 3 year lifespan


Complete bull****

My bottom of the range Indisit is still running fine and its just coming
up for its 7th birthday. Used on average twice a week and it's had zero
repairs.

I could probably buy 4 to 5 machines for the price of Miele. I could
probably buy a new machine for the price of a Meile spare part.

My reason for bottom of range is that I will never use the dozens of
extra bells and whistles that the top of range and more expensive
machine come with.



Miele doesnt come with bells and whistles. It comes with - gasp SHOCK
ABSORBERS. Everty washing machine needs them. Only Miele fit them...



Ok I will say most washing machines at twice a week will do 10 years
whereas most dishwashers once a day are dead in 3...
