Hi, I am looking at replacing my Bosch washing machine and tumble dryer which are 15 and 10 years old respectively, so have performed remarkably well! Ordinarily I would just go and get more Bosch appliances, however my local (semi-independent) store says the build quality is much poorer now they are made in Turkey and to go with Siemens. I am open to any recommended brand! We are a family of 6 and both machines are heavily used 1-2 washes/dries a day, must have a quick wash setting, budget as the title says is up to £500 each and ideally a 5 year warranty. Thanks in advance.

Hi
For that sort of usage a five year warranty is a must as you are about three times the weekly average. Siemens and Bosch are from the same stable the former having a few more bells and whistles and a slightly better spec along with the all important five year warranty..
As for being built in Turkey I would assume he means they are being built by Arcelik who make Beko products. To my knowledge Bosch do not produce in Turkey but do have their own factories in a few European countries. German made machines tend to be the top end appliances.
HTH 🙂

Thanks that does give me some more insight!
Have you any recommendations on which model to go for? There seem to be so many from each manufacturer, I feel like its a minefield.

You won’t go far wrong with one of the IQ300 range. Try this link from John Lewis.

Yet more insight!
I installed ( admittedly it was a washer dryer ), a Siemens 2 months ago and it was made in ………………………..”A triumph of post revolutionary Maoist China”. Maybe some of the dryers and washing machines will be as per many Samsung are come to think about it.
