Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of maybe replacing the Bosch soon because the door seal and bearings are on their way out. It is about 7 years old and we would probably sell on eBay as spares. Sometimes it feels like my clothes have been washed in an Indesit Moon because sometimes I end up with little bits of mould on my clothes. I also just want a change. I like the new Hotpoint range and the Aquarius Extra seems a nice one. Can anyone give any other machine recommendations? It needs to have: 1400rpm spin or more 6/7 kg capacity Cottons 30 Quick Wash Variable Spin Variable Temperature Less than £350 Thank You Jacob P.S: I don't want another Bosch.

Cottons 30
Quick Wash Both of the above are utterly pointless and not good for your machine. Higher temperatures get better results and keep your machine mould free and smelling clean. I would recommend Gorenje machines (link below). Far more reliable and higher performing than anything the Indesit/Hotpoint company are churning out. Also, why bother spending more money on a Hotpoint when, under the facia, it is exactly the same as it's Indesit equivalent? CLICK HERE TO GO TO AquaCycle's LINK | ||

Also, I know their are mixed opinions about these, but I've found Beko to be very good machines. The new range certainly seems to be far sturdier than the TOL Hotpoint's - cheaper too!

Lots of Stuff
The electrics went first, then the top shelf broke, the machine door wouldn't close properly because of a broken seal and eventually the power went, tripping the house electrics. I got to smash it up in the end. There is now a Zanussi that is 1 year old now and the Gorenje was 18 months old when it broke.

That seems to be more unlucky than anything else. I've not heard of any trouble with Gorenje machines.
Zanussi dishwashers are one of the worst - terribly notorious for low performance. But a prime example of how 2 appliances by the same company can be totally different. Beko washers and dryers are another example. Don't write off Gorenje machines just yet - they're a lot better than you'd imagine. | ||

Zanussi washing machine This Zanussi washing machine looks very good and has all the features that you require. They're better built than anything Indesit make and I found the cheapest price in the UK for you. CLICK HERE TO GO TO jetsystem1200's LINK | ||

I am disappointed, as it is really not far from Beko...
I've found Beko to be a darn sight sturdier and higher performing than a lot of more expensive brands - they're certainly the best of the more budget machines. The new range feels a hell of a lot better build quality than the new Hotpoints.
As for the Fridge-Freezer thing, I do think that was just a one off problem with certain models. My Beko fridge freezer is top notch, as is my Mums. | ||

About Beko We had a Beko Glacier fridge freezer for 12 years without any problems. I think it only affected certain models. | ||

Beko are good
I bought my mum a Beko 1200 5kg washing Machine for £184 and its still going strong, its a year old now and its still washes well, and theres no mould in it, even though my parents wash at 40*c for everything, they leave the door ajar after every wash, and they use Powder Detergent (Formil Biological from Lidl)
She prefers it to the Zanussi XC we had for nearly 10 years which broke due to the PCB failing in it. | ||

 Bekos holding company also own Blomberg and have done so since 2002....which is why the underlying quality of their appliances have improved so much. Why spend millions developing something when you can buy a company?
Personally, even though I have had (and really loved) a Blomberg, I would seriously consider buying a similarly spec'd Beko if it were more than 10% cheaper and with a similar warranty......I believe that they come out of the same factory now, not Germany as was the case 10 years ago. | ||
