I used to work for Creda, Hotpoint, Ariston and Indesit for a total of 27 years - stay away from them.

How old was your LG ?Our expensive LG direct drive gave up the ghost last week, bought a Hotpoint from JL for under £300 which seems just as good tbh.
Quite a few years old I think.How old was your LG ?
My 6 year old 12KG LG washing machine had to be repaired a few times this year (new drain pump & new Power supply board)
I noticed some the new LG washing machines now come with only a 5 year warranty and not a 10 year warranty

Which brand to go for then?
I've been out of the Labs for 13 years now and all I can say is that Miele were at the top followed by other German makes like Bosch and then followed by Japanese makes like Samsung & LG.
Knowing how the Italians think I would stay away from the four mentioned.
Those four are owned by Whirlpool now so I wouldn't trust them either.
I never bought from here due to living in the channel islands but this place looks goodIs ao.com the place to go to for appliances these days?

Bumping this thread as our Zanussi machine that we inherited with the house is slowly biting the dust.
I’ve heard that Samsung machines are decent and my wife is set on an eco bubble 9kg model +/- add wash. Not sure whether it’s worth arguing for a Bosch machine instead as there is a 9kg machine that looks good to me for a similar price.
Second question - we would have to stack a dryer on top of the washing machine. There are lots of contraptions to do help with this online. Does anyone have any particular tips or tricks for this? I presume it’s quite straightforward?
Thanks!
