New Washing machine, gas cooker and fridge freezer

[annie14]

Just moved into new place and urgently need to purchase all the above at fairly budget prices, yet reliable . Is there anywhere I can get a good deal on buying whitegoods together like this and can you recommend any manufacturers for each product (or those to definitely avoid)?
Thanks very much! 😀

Can you post up some physical sizes please annie as cookers and refrigeration come in different widths. Also on the cooker would this be natural gas? As for the washing machine spin speed and colour would be nice 😉 .

Thanks

OK, thanks 🙂 – will need to check dimensions of FF & cooker (yes – it would be natural gas hob, grill & oven). As for WM – just looking for around 1400 spin/5kg load/quiet/quickwash. No preference on colour really 😉
My friend recommended a Candy C514 that she recently bought, but I can’t find that one now.

Just as well, there are better machines out there at around the same price IMO. Zanussi ZWF1427W 1400 spin 7kg load, Whirlool AWOD4505 I know it`s a 1200 spin but still better than the Candy. Or for a little more there is the Bosch WAE24162GB which has a two year guarantee as well.

OK, thanks. The Zanussi looks quite good, but is 76dB quite loud for a washing machine?
The current cooker measurements are 90/55/60 for a double gas oven. I saw quite a good Cannon – are they ok?
The fridgefreezer is really old and not very tall (120/55/60), so I’m not sure I can get hold of one that size now, all the new ones seem to be very tall. I’d probaly go for a larger fridge capacity than freezer. Any recommendations gratefully received!! 😀

75 decibels is reckoned to be the average speaking voice, quiet really. The spin part of the cycle is the noisiest. If noise could be an issue Hotpoint stock a few machines which are super silent but you may have to up the budget a bit 😉 .

Cannon are fine, they have the largest range of gas cookers available and in a choice of colours too. In the 55 width there is the Stratford which is seperate grill and oven or the Chester which has double oven and programmable timer.

There are some 55 wide fridge freezers available still, what is the maximum height you can fit in? Let me know and I`ll have a look around for you.

Re: New Washing machine, gas cooker and fridge freezer

Very helpful thanks! I could probaby go a bit higher with the FF, the problem is that this little flat has a tiny kitchen so space is at a premium. I currently have a microwave sitting on top of the fridge (which I suppose is not ideal!?!), as there’s nowhere else it can go – so if the FF gets much taller, I won’t be able to reach it!

Hi Annie

A couple of options, Whirlpool ARC5030 half and half fridge to freezer is only 140 tall with a 4.1cu ft capacity in both fridge and freezer. Or the Zanussi ZERD7446 which is 140.4 high but has a large fridge 6.6 cu ft fridge on the bottom with a small 1.6 cu ft freezer on top.

You could still get the microwave on top if need be 😉 .
