I thought I’d posted some time ago, asking for recommendations, but can’t find the post now. Anyway, on looking at our finances again, I realize we can’t afford a Miele, much to my disappointment. We really need something nearer the £300-400 mark. Could you recommend a make that’s best value for money in this range? I don’t want whizzy extras, just a bog standard machine that rinses very well. Low spin speed doesn’t matter either, as it’s windy & warm where I live so things dry quickly outside most of the year. Sorry to keep asking for advice but I’d be grateful for any recommendations – whatever we manage to buy will have to last!
Re: Mid price range machine recommendation please?
The answer lies right above this thread, the ISE is what you need. 8) but if you live outside of the UK 😉 then mid range Bosch or Seimens would be OK. Do you intend to buy it in Greece or ship it in from outside.
Here is your original thread.

Re: Mid price range machine recommendation please?
Thanks, Jim. We’ll buy from a local shop. Costs are very high compared to UK & we’re too remote for online shopping here (they may deliver on the mainland, but certainly not in the islands) unfortunately, but it’s still cheaper than buying in the UK & shipping it out.
Re: Mid price range machine recommendation please?
I would guess that spares & repairs may also be a problem then, might be an idea to ask around to check on various manufacturers supply lines.
No point buying a mid range machine that you cannot get parts for easily.
Depending on how the communication is with the ‘local shop’ it might be a good idea to have a word with them to give you some idea of the back up for Bosch/Seimens spares. Mid range Zanussi or Whirpool could be your next best bet.
Jim.
Re: Mid price range machine recommendation please?
Good advice, Jim. Thanks. Sales assistants here are not generally very forthcoming with hard info (or perhaps it’s just because I’m female, & attitudes in the backwoods are still rather sexist) but I’ll try.
