Hey everyone,
It's hard these days to say "which is the most popular brand of washing machine?". So I thought I would do a little test. I went onto Rightmove, entered the first half of my postcode and randomly selected a sample of houses. Out of the 310 properties for sale in my area, I filtered my search to 2 and 3 bedroomed houses and selected, at random, several of each different property type to look at. Of course, some did not have pictures where a washing machine was visible or they had utility rooms/garages which were not shown. Taking these out, I took a selection of 35 homes and tallied their choices of appliances. The results are below: Hotpoint/Indesit - 12 Beko - 8 Bosch - 4 Zanussi - 3 Pre-Indesit Hotpoint - 3 Servis, AEG, Miele Whirlpool and Pre-Candy Hoover all had 1. As I suspected, Hotpoint was the clear winner. There were no Hoover/Candy machines and no Haier or Vestel made machines, which surprised me. Pretty interesting stuff. It'll be interesting to see stats for other areas of the country. Having spoken to other members and friends on here, it would seem different brands are more popular in different areas. Anybody else care to have a go? |

I second Jon's comment, I will do myself but Indesit are on Watchdog, again!
From the house's I have been in where I live Bosch,Hotpoint and Candy are probably the top three. I have seen about four Whirlpool Creations recently, and there are a few Bekos lurking round too, but will make a list like you have soon :) Jacob |

The last time I went into no 23, and 15 were about 2-3 years ago though, may have changed. We are all friendly, so go around each others houses for Parties/Meetings etc, so that's how I know! |

It's different over here. Landlords have to provide you with cooking facilities, but nothing else. Most landlords include a cooker and fridge. Rented apartments usually have intergrated washer-dryers or, as you mentioned, a washer in a cupboard off the hallway. But there is no legal requirement to provide one.
In my old flat, the washer was in the boiler cupboard off the hallway. |

After what glenfieldmat did, I think I shall do the same!
1 - Hotpoint WF860 (I think) I only saw it once - it lives in a garage alongside a White Knight Dryer 2 - No idea 3 - Hoover Family Mega - a 7kg version of a Hoover Six with a chrome door - with a Creda Dryer from the mid - 90s. 4 - No idea 5 - Miele W1724 - I saw it being delivered last year and a Hoover Electron being taken away. 6 - No idea - This house sold last year and the previous owners had a Bosch Avantixx 7 7 - Bosch WFL2060 and a Hotpoint TVM560 - the TVM560 replaced a 9324 8 - No idea - but last week there was an Indesit IS70C and a White Knight Sensadry waiting for scrap collection. 9 - John Lewis washer which replaced a 9528 I think, also a White Knight dryer. 10 - Bosch WFB2004 - I think it's one of the Spanish ones. 11 - Hotpoint WMA11 and a Hotpoint TCM580 dryer - it replaced a Creda Condensor. 12 - Our House! 13 - No idea 14 - Bosch Clasixx and a Hotpoint TL61 in Natural Linen, they used to have the matching washer. 15 - No idea 16 - Zanussi ZW1220S - the last time I saw that was 3 years ago so it could be gone. 17 - Indesit WIL133 - this is a rented house and the previous tennants had their own washer, a Hoover Nextra. 18 - No idea 19 - No idea 20 - Bosch WFL2060 21 - No idea 22 - Siemens Simawat in black with a chrome door. 23 - Merloni type Servis in GREEN! 24 - Hotpoint WF440 and Zanussi Condensor from 2003. I last saw these a few years ago and the owners have since got a new kitchen. 25 - No idea 26 - Hotpoint WF220 and VTD00 - this house was sold reently and I had a nosey on the online estate agents. Other machines I know locally are, Hotpoint WD64, Beko WM5140W, Candy GO682, various White Knight dryers, Hotpoint WMA32, AEG Lavamat... Sorry for lots of blanks in the list... |
