Hi guys Cutting a long story short I am refurbishing my brothers kitchen over the next few weeks and i am going to finally lay his hotpoint washer to rest, its been in the family since 1986 and passed from house to house and although it is still working excellent the dreaded rust has set in and its just coming to the end of its hard life,. So my question is what should i get next, he has special needs so needs something he can use easily and the machine will only be on maybe 2-3 times a week unlike mine which does in excess of 20 loads a week. Have a budget of around £250 for one but have been put off with the new machines i have bought over the past few years as they just dont last, Any advice for a good budget machine would be really appreciated. Cheers guys n girls |

or you could get a zanussi for £268 if you can stretch to another 20 quid on top of your budget from comet

We have 2. A Westinghouse (think John Lewis machine) that is just over 3yrs old. The suspension is starting to go as it does like to get a bit noisy of late, but this machine has done up to 20 loads a week....which for an average house hold is nearly 9yrs work... And we have an 'all push button' electrolux badged Zanussi in a rental that we have never been asked to fix anything on which to my mind means nothing has gone wrong....its 4yrs old... I think weak suspension appears to be their only real fault and that should only show after 2000 odd loads |

Cheers Guys Darren I am gonna get a zanussi i am sold lol been looking on the comet website and there is one on there that looks simple enough to use for my brother. I just feel so bad getting rid of the hotpoint but as i said it is literally come to the end of it hard life, i think 23 years is enough and thinking back and asking the folks it has never had a bearing change only the carbon brushes 3 times. I will do a few piccies and post before the machine goes. Thanks again guys i would never have considered a zanussi before Robbie |
