❓ can anyone recommend a good reliable washer drier as most reports have had have been poor. Even my hoover repair man said don’t buy one!
Re: combined washer driers
Janet,
Washer/dryers are not the ultimate answer to laundry problems. They are indeed a compromise to having a seperate washing Machine AND Tumble Dryer. Far less efficient also, with more components likely to fail as well.
If you must buy one then look at the BOSCH range as a reasonable option!

no
I’d have to agree with Eastlmark, at best it’s a compromise if there’s no other option available, at which point all you can do is, well, compromise really. Bar one machine from Hoover, if memory serves, all WD’s can only dry approx. 1/2 what you wash and it will take far longer and be less efficient than a seperate dedicated dryer.
If you really have no choice I’d try to get something German that’s actually made in Germany, many are not.

Re: combined washer driers
I must agree with everything said, I tend to talk customers away from Washer Dryers. Those that have already got one will normally admit to hardly using the dryer because it takes to long. If there is any possibility of putting a dryer somewhere else then do it, even if its only a 3kg model (which are very small). If you must buy one then Bosch is the only option in my opinion. They produce 2, with a vast difference in price, reflected in the quality of the product. The cheaper WVF model is based on a Spanish Balay machine and is a bit on the noisy side, but better than the Hotpoint /Zanussi etc in function. The other WFT machine is by far the best Washer/Dryer I’ve ever come across & has a flushing function which helps clear fluff from the condenser(a build up of fluff is the most common fault with any Washer/Dryer). The retail price for this machine is about £900 though & you can buy the top of the range Bosch Washing Machine & separate Dryer for that !
