YOu can look upo spare parts for Bosch appliances and explosions on the public Bosch site here as long as you have the full ENR number and the FD number one as well.

I would always go for a 1400 spin washing machine as it does extract quite a bit more water and reduce tumble dryer and line drying time.

Hi thanks again. Its gb01 yes I think it is a sealed tub unit so will be avoiding it and probably going with the wan instead. Thank you

Personally I would leave the 10 year old Bosch alone.

Don

Thanks very much its been a great help. I will forget about the refurbed bosch. Sorry just one more thing do you know if any Bekos come with split drums like the Bosch series 2. John lewis does Bekos with 2 year guarantee so we are strongly considering one of them now. Thanks

LG are okay but the spares availability and service back up is not the best.

If you want to go by the best guarantee then the Ebac range currently have the best one at seven years. Not much is known about them as they tend to go out through smaller retailers. As far as service cover is concerned I think I am correct in saying that there is a network of service agents across the North more which is where Ebac are based.

If you want the best then yes Miele but again they do not share service info so the right to repair is hard to do. The price of spares is also higher than most. Worth the risk? Yes without a doubt if budget allows. They have a two year warranty currently but there is a cash back promotion on selected models.

Bosch is a good all round bet, the WAJ28008 is a good workhorse for the price but as you say with a two year warranty.

Don

Thanks ive ruled out a samsung and LG. What are your thoughts on a Beko in comparison to a Bosch will bosch last much longer and what are your thoughts on buying a “refurbished” 10 year old Bosch with a 6 months warranty for under £150. Do you think it could realisrically last up to 5 years or just not worth the risk at all or much value? Thanks

How about an LG like F2T208WSE apparently LG are one of most reliable.

Thanks yea I wouldnt really want to buy a samsung it was moreso for the 5 year warranty. I suppose even with a 5 year warranty if it breaks all the time or cant get support its useless.

To add another variable into the mix I have just found a Samsung ww70ta046te for 400 with a 5 year warranty but at the same price as the Bosch the Bosch is probably better built however a 2 year warranty?
