Where possible I always try and buy from John Lewis or Richer Sounds. I've had a few claims over the years from av receivers to sofas never had any issue with either company.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 26 August 2019 Posted 26 August 2019 My Bosch washer hasn't been happy for a while and the racket it makes when spinning makes me think it might blow up soon. Mind you, we've had 8 years out of it and that period has covered two babies so it's been absolutely caned. The dishwasher also gave up the ghost earlier this year so I reckon I'll be going down Mark's Electrical and laying out about £900 soon. Mercifully, they do interest free credit

Mercifully, they do interest free credit My Bosch got quite noisy at times too, then something inside must have shattered or sheared and it sounded like a cement mixer. Had to put Drain on and then turn it off, open it up and hand wash because the drum was loose and that's it. It was only my second washer in 21 years actually, my first being an Indesit for about 7 years. The new Bosch machines are supposedly pretty quiet so just have to wait for it to be delivered and see.
Raj Posted 26 August 2019 Posted 26 August 2019 Pretty fuc!Ng sad us middle aged men getting excited about washing machines!!!!

John Lewis for quick delivery Bosch + John Lewis + removal of old machine + installation for a small fee if, like us, you have a built in appliance.

Turned out that one of the 2 concrete ballast blocks that stabilise the drum had broken in two.

If you spin the drum by hand on mine it doesn't move as smoothly as it did, and someone reckons it sounds like the bearings have gone, whatever that means. Also, it stinks, emitting an odour that no amount of 90 degree cycles and white vinegar will shift. Its days are well and truly numbered

ithuriel Posted 17 December 2019 Author Posted 17 December 2019 Glad I went to buying a Bosch, never trusted Hotpoint though never knew Indesit was made by the same peeps?

First machine I bought was a Hotpoint, and it lasted fifteen years or so. Mind, I do only wash my clothes once a year, so that might explain things.
Guest Cujek Posted 17 December 2019 Posted 17 December 2019 i have a Samsung one, its been pretty good so far in the 18 months i have had it.
twoleftfeet Posted 17 December 2019 Posted 17 December 2019 Most machines will be fine to start with, buy a decent make but take a look at trust pilot to see what the after care is like all the big manufacturers occasionally have problems with products they make its life but the important thing is how they treat you if you have a problem. And remember although extended warranties are great even if a product only has a one year warranty that doesn't replace your consumer rights an appliance should last for a reasonable amount of time and 1 year isn't reasonable so it doesn't matter just means you don't have argue with the reseller to get your rights.
Christoph Posted 17 December 2019 Posted 17 December 2019 Stay away from LG and Samsung. I've heard bad things abotu them as they usually replace parts in their factories which mean when you need a replacement it isn't just one part and half the time you have to get a whole bunch of stuff changed etc.
FoxesDeb Posted 17 December 2019 Posted 17 December 2019 Just seen that there is another safety recall for some Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines, although the website is currently unavailable for checking. They are going to either repair or replace the affected machines, but not until January at the earliest. In the meantime you are advised not to use them... Worth checking if you have either make https://www.hotpointservice.co.uk/safety-notice
Russell sprout Posted 18 December 2019 Posted 18 December 2019 Our tumble dryer is in the recall list, we’ve had it 3 years and it’s been playing up so the timing is great as rather than buying a new one we’re gonna get given a free brand new replacement
Izzy Posted 18 December 2019 Posted 18 December 2019 What a Fvck up. Tell half a million people to check a website to see if their washer might blow up but website crashes as it can’t handle half a million enquires. Embarrassing.

They should have signed Keith Vaz, now he's been released from his contract. He'd have sorted it all out.
