As good as anything else out there at the moment, spares are readily available and at reasonable prices. Beko guarantee is two year the same as the Bosch ones.

It’s marginal, the Bosch gives you a few more bells and whistles and is slightly better on noise and energy consumption.
Having compared both quite closely I am impressed with the Beko 😉
Don
There will be a diference of opinion amongst us 😉
Personally I would go for a Bosh series 4 as they have a full stainless steel inner. Those aside take a look at the Aeg ones.
If you are not in a hurry delay your purchase as Most manufacturers are still out of stock and as such are not prioritising dishwasher production. All of Hotpoint, Indesit and Whirlpool are all out of stock with lead times of 4 plus weeks. Bosch, Neff and Siemens are a minimum of 12 weeks minimum. Beko have no due dates and most of the budget end ones also.
A quick look on AO.com shows they have a few Hotpoint models and a Beko.

PS Have deleted your duplicated post. It’s easier to keep in to one thread.
For the washer Bosch series 4 WAN machines or the Miele if budget allows as the tubs can be split if needed later on. For the dryer the Beko or Indesit vented as they are nice and simple, reliable and easy to repair. If condenser is required then something the the Indesit IDc8t3B equivalent of the vented one.

Probably just a very cold appliance due to the colder weather we have had of late. I would run both ovens on 200 degrees for half an hour, I reckon it will be okay after that.
Don
Seperate machines are the way to go even if the dryer has to go in another room in the house. Washer dryers just don’t cut it for a family of five.
If you really cannot house a dryer then the Miele washer dryers are the best on the market by some distance. Buying the likes of AEG, Zanussi, Hotpoint etc will not last long at all.

I have known manufacturers disconnect elements for display purposes. You may need to have an engineer in to make sure everything is still connected. Did the oven come with any form of guarantee?
Don
Five year warranties are there as a promotional tool to boost sales of products. Smeg as a brand I alway think is obverpriced for what you are getting, have a read here for yourself. As for Bosch I still like them but they are not eveyones cup of tea on certain ranges, again take a look at this article for our thoughts.
Smeg service tends to be carried out by agents in your area while Bosch have their own service network. Spares are available via our own shop along with other on line sellers and retailers.

More than likely to be the spark generator.
This is not a DIY repair,it needs to be carried out by a Gas Safe engineer.
Forum rules here on gas DIY repairs.

This is something I come across every week in the shop across all product groups. My answer is always the same there is nothing these days which has the quality that we enjoyed thirty years ago. Even the mighty Miele while still the best isn’t what it used to be.
Why I hear you say? Well it’s a combination of things, consumers want cheaper prices which leads to cutting corners and inferior quality, manufacturers need to increase market share in order to satisy investors and there is still this race to be the cheapest in the market.
All that said depending on budget I would look at Beko in the budget range, Zanussi/ AEG in the mid and either Bosch series 4 or the Neff / Siemens equivalent and then there is Miele.

if the only dates on offer are 2007 or 17 yours must be 2007

From the model number definitely 2007
