Re: Replacement washing machine

First off leave the Hotpoint machine well alone, they do suffer with poor reliabilty of what essentially is an Indesit machine in a skirt.

from the other two the AEG while value for money is the better deal with the extra warranty does she really need all the extra bells and whistles let alone the large digital display? Sometimes simple can be a better option 😉 and add on the five year warranty.

Manufacturers will normally keep functional spares available for the useful life of the product which these days is about eight years, cosmetic spares usually less.

HTH 🙂

Hi Don

Cheers for the heads-up on the Hotpoint. Out of the two cheaper machines my mum preferred the Zanussi anyway, mainly because her last Zanussi washing machine worked for more than five years before having the slightest problem.

She certainly doesn’t need any fancy bells and whistles, in fact she explicitly told me to keep the replacement reasonably simple.

£269 for the ZWF5125 plus £129 for the extended warranty works out at just shy of £400. A fair bit more but worth it if it guarantees my mum a working washing machine for at least five years.

Anyone got any experience of this machine or trying to make a claim on the JL extended warranty?
