The article on purchasing a washing machine advises going to an independent retailer. Is there w way I can find one locally?
Would the local agent for Euronics be a good idea?
Whatever happened to Yellow Pages eh? Yes, Euronics are local retailers in most towns around the country. Thompson and Yellow Pages as so too do Google list independent ‘white goods retailers’ in YOUR specific area.

Yellow pages is a thing of the the past Martin, social media etc is the way to go.
A good source is the https://www.retra.co.uk/ site. These are all bona fide retailers.

I can’t remember when I last saw yellow pages and googling was giving a lot of outlets such as Curry’s and Argos that were not what I was looking for. However the link Don gave me pulled up a couple of the Euronics outlets we found via their site so it is all adding up and many thanks. One Euronics outlet has recommended Blomberg 8kg 1400 white at £350 +45 delivery and install. This comes with a 3 year warranty. For a five year warranty we will go above £500 but I wonder if that would be a better bet.
I am thinking something with a 5 year warranty is more likely to last for instance there is a Blomberg LWI28441 Integrated 8kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine – White – A+++ Rated with a five year guarantee. Is there a cheaper version of this by say Beko. The Beko ones only seem to offer 1 year’s guarantee. The last machine we had was an ISE with 5ys warranty and that lasted twice as long. Am I right in thinking warranty indicates likely durability or am I on the wrong track?
That Blomberg at £449 with a five year warranty is as good a deal as you are going to get. As it is a Beko in a skirt the parts are readily available and at a reasonable cost.
