    Re: Servis or Hoover washer dryer reliability

    Hi karena

    The problem with both of those brands is you will not get longevity of life I`m afraid as the build is not that good.

    Some good articles here which show what we mean 😉

    Re: Need washer/dryer but shorter depth than Zanussi!

    Hi karena

    The Whirlpool AWZ412 is a fairly well made machine, ( much better than the Indesit) quite robust for a let I would say. It`s 560m deep including the controls, not 535mm I know, but every little helps as they say 😉 .

    Re: Decent Suppliers.

    Hi

    We find DAD at Gloucester http://www.dad-online.co.uk Tel 01452 504084 to be the most competitive and helpful, they carry loads of different brands and models. The monthly specials catalogue is another good thing you get two copies, one gives the cost prices and the other allows you to write in your own selling price so customers can see what is on offer.

    Re: buying a new integrated washing machine – advice please.

    Hi Least

    Forgetting about things like Indesit, Servis and all those other budget brands here is what I would recommend to our customers.

    Gorenje WI63113, Sloveninan manufactrurer which has been in the UK for about the last ten years, they are the fastest growing supplier of appliances in Europe at the moment. Normally found only in the independant sector, service if needed is provided by a network of repairers, the washer comes with a two year warranty .

    Electrolux EWG12450 or the Zanussi ZWI2125 they may come with different features but are from the same stable, good all round solid products whivh come with a one year warranty backed up with a nationwide service.

    Neff W5420X0GB German spec machine built to a higher standard. From the same stable as Bosch and Siemens but have a slightly better spec and for slightly less price. They have a two year warranty again backed up by natiowide service. This machine would be my choice if I were buying one and also what I would recommend to our customers.

    Re: ISE Dishwasher

    I know I havn`t seen one yet, but could it be one of the four option buttons on the fascia. The brochure and the website list prewash under options and there just happens to be four of them listed in the brochure. Or I could be barking up the wrong tree of course 😉

    Re: Opinions needed re;purchase of new washer and current f/

    Hi Damian

    With regards to the washing machinbe replacement, yep deffinately Bosch and then the Zanussi products. Servis refrigeration is not one of the best around hence the budget price point, life span not very good I`m afraid. Hoptpoint, Zanussi and Bosch again or if you can go the extra mile then Liebherr 😉

    That would mean that the “merged” company would have a monopoly on the high Street, surely the MMC would not agree to this or would they

    Re: which Side-by-Side (usa sytle) fridge to buy?

    Hi

    Out of the two I would go for the Samsung as far as build is concerned. When it comes to aftersales service I know Samsung have a nationwide service network, not so sure about LG though as it isn`t a brand we stock.

    Hi mstar

    Take a read of this article on our pick of the American machines.

    The Korean brands do seem to suffer when it comes to breaking down. There are various threads here Samsung have even featured on watchdog a while ago, granted not for the model you are considering 😉

    If you can up the budget a little then go for one from the Admiral range.
