ParticipantHello
I’m looking for 2 Fridge Freezers, a washing machine and tumble dryer (7kg-10kg) 4 person family use.
The more i research the more confused i become about which brands are best.
Ideally look to spend under 2K

Hi
When it comes to build and durability Miele are the best they also have some of the best warranties as well. Downsides are service is restricted to their own network and the spares are expensive. Bosch and Siemens are next along with the new Whirlpool range.
For a good dryer I would go for a simple vented dryer like the Zanussi or White Knight. If it has to be condenser then it’s Whirlpool for me. If you are looking at a sensor dryer then it needs to be in the house not in an outhouse, garage or shed.
Fridge freezers? Liebherr are the best you can get, followed by Bosch, Siemens, Whirlpool and Hotpoint.
You should be able to get all four for your budget from all the above options.
HTH 🙂

Thanks Don 8)
I’ll have a good look to see what I can find.
Without sounding lazy, and if it’s not asking too much. Is there any models you recommend?

The Bosch WAQ283S1 is a good all rounder 8kg 1400 spin. This machine is on offer all over at the minute as it will be replaced early summer. That aside any of the WAN or WAT models. Miele have promo warranties at the moment so a five year one could be an option.
Fridge freezer? All depends on the width available and the split of doors required.
Vented or condenser is the issue. The brands I mentioned will serve you well.
You are now at the hard work stage where you need to work out what you “want” and what you “need.” Needs should outweigh the wants 😉

Thanks Don
I’ll take a look at the washer models mentioned.
I’m looking at a 50/50 split fridge freezer 60cm wide and a vented tumble dryer.
I’ll have a good look

Hi Don
For the fridge freezer i was looking at this LIEBHERR CNef 3515 Fridge Freezer – Stainless Steel
Washing Machine along the lines of Bosch Serie 6 i-DOSâ„¢ WAT28660GB or Miele W1 WDB030
Vented Tumble Zanussi Lindo100 ZTE7100PZ Vented Tumble Dryer or WHITE KNIGHT C44A7W
Do these look OK

The Liebherr fridge freezers oh yes.
Bosch and the Miele yes but do you need the i dos on the Bosch?
Would prefer the Zanussi to the White Knight for it’s better build quality.
Your choices are looking good 🙂

Thats good to know 😀
The only thing that put me off the Bosch WAQ283S1GB Washing Machine was a few people commenting that the the drum and bearings had failed multiple times? Also the spin isn’t very good but i did see that you can tailor programs and this overcomes the spin issue.
