Re: Washer-dryer recommendations
Hi Chris
Washer dryers are okay but they are not the most reliable of machines. Probably the best of them is the Bosch WVT1260, nationwide service network , good build, sensible to use with good energy efficency and with a two year guarantee. Price £450.
If you have room for two seperate machines then this is the best way to go. If space is at a premium then you could consider a compact dryer which could store into a cupboard when not in use.

Re: Is the tide turning?
I wonder how the internet companies and the supermarkets will cope when the WEE directive comes into full force next July, will they offer a disposal service or will they just refuse to dispose of the old machines when they deliver new and leave the customer with the headache of getting shot of the old.

Announced in the last hour John Terry has been named the new England captain with Steven Gerrard named as vice captain. Personally I would have preffered the other way around, hey ho.

Yep seen those but would still go with the Bosch 😉
anthony16 wrote: i have already got a compact hotpoint dryer i was just thinking of getting one of the hotpoint washer dryers as they can wash and dry 5kg and the compact dryer is 3kg
Problem is though how long will it take and how much will it cost compared to the compact. The water consumption on the Hotpoint washer dryer when using the drying cycle is 100 litres of water per 5kg 8O. If you are on a water meter the your`e water bill will rocket if several loads are dried weekly. Bear in mind to that you can only be washing or drying at any one time.
anthony16 wrote:the zanussi machines on currys all have faster spins of 1400 or 1600 compared to the 1200 spin hotpoint washer we have right now so that would probably speed up drying times.
Personally I would look at the Bosch WAE28162GB 1400 spin for not much more 😉 and you will still pay less than the WD420/40.
A washer dryer is fine in certain circumstances such as flats for one or where there is no garden to hang out washing, however in a family enviroment where there is space for two machines albeit a smaller version I always recommend two seperate appliances.
Hope this helps the decison making 🙂

Re: hotpoint wd440/wd420
Hi Anthony
Stay with a washing machine only, they have better energy efficiency and are less prone to failure than a washer dryer. If space is at a premium take a look at a compact tumble dryer. As far as makes and models are concerned Bosch are worth considering the WAE24162 1200 spin, 6kg capacity and a two year guarantee price around the £290 mark. A compact tumble dryer like a Hotpoint will set you back around £130. Price for price the seperate machines are about the same price as the WD420/440 but you have better flexibility ie you can be washing and drying at the same time 😉
Other brands worth a look at IMO would be Whirlpool, AEG, and the Miele at the premium end of the range, they will last and last and come with a minimum of a two year guarantee up to a max ten year depending on price paid. Prices start from circa £550.
