 This particular model Indesit PWDE8148S or W, which is from their newer range, got a good review and put in a solid performance in the last Which? test of washer dryers. It rated 4* or better for:
- cotton wash - evenness of drying - drying programmes - spin - ease of use - energy use - water use (5*)
It was considered 'average' for rinse
The only slight negative is the 'easy care' programme which didn't rate well...not an issue in our house, I rarely use it
...and it can wash 8kg and dry 6kg....so if you 'almost fill it', you won't have to remove any washing prior to drying.
Comet have them available for GBP414.00.
Given you've been happy with the current Indesit, it may be worth considering CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK | ||

I'd reccomend going for a indesit prime which seems to have good reviews and has a nice sized drum and has good programs etc or if you want something more higher end an LG 9kg + 6kg, I have an LG 9kg steam washing machine, the drum is huge at 69 litres, you can fit a lot into it, it's very quiet and has great functions :)
All the best with the move and everything :) Take care | ||

I really like the look of both the Prime and the LG but out of the two i'm edging towards the LG..... | ||

I currently have a Hotpoint Aqualtis washing machine which is fantastic. Prior to that I had an LG F1402FDS6 which my ex partner kept when we split up. I could not fault it I loved it. Obviously these weren't washer/dryers but in experience of the machines quality and performance I was/am very pleased.
Many people aren't fond of washer/dryers and of course separates are always better. However i've always been fond of washer/dryers and had a few oldschool washer/dryers which obviously had smaller drums and still worked well, so if you get yourself a decent capacity machine you should be impressed!

Washer/Dryers
Well working in the electrical business for over 14 years i have to say that on the reliability of washer/dryers we have had our fair share of problems especially with Hotpoint/Indesit aquarius,aqualtis,advance & prime washer/dryers mostly the same fault. The fanned hot air outlet that blows the heat into the drum becomes unattached from the rubber door seal which ends up blowing the hot air onto the inside of the control panel circuit board which causes the board to fail by indicating flashing fault codes on the display. The most reliable machines we sell are Hoover/Candy washer/dryers. Don't think we have had one problem what so ever with them touch wood! Can't really say much about LG because we dont sell them.
