Modern machines

I think it is a minefield now days with modern machines, if i had to buy a new machine that i felt would last it would be a Miele i suppose, i have a bosch 1400 express which hasnt given any trouble bit i must admit i dont have any faith in its longevity

From where i work the most common makes of newish machine to come in are indesit/hotpoint (igoniring the cheap brands) but then perhaps they sell more than other makes

As a big fan of old Hoover washers as i am it would take a lot convincing to get me to buy any modern machine made by them

as I said to me new machines are mine field

right thats me tuppence worth
 
Miele and Bosch are good but Miele are too expensive although they are worth it and Bosch are a bit noisy and they only do one 1600rpm washer (i think) in the UK and that is an 8kg model!
 
Ah ive not yet read Samsungfl's experience with Hoover. I know you don't have to look hard to see examples of modern Hoover machines with patchy build quality though - the amount of newer Nextra machines on Ebay alone that are broken is enough to get alarm bells going. I just find they have a slight quirkiness about them that so many machines don't. I was hoping the Vision HD's would be a step in a better direction but already seen a couple of them for sale needing new PCBs so i dunno :S

I think it all depends how much youre willing to spend. Miele are very good, and work out good value for money considering their long life, but many people don't have upwards of £500 for a washing machine so of the other makes, i'd go with either Bosch or Zanussi (or the other Electrolux brands). Neither will see more than 8 years maximum, but they should at least prove reliable until that point, something i couldnt be so sure about with any of the other makes, like Hoover, Indesit, Hotpoint etc.
 
Yes, Hoovers look nice but they arent the most reliable at all.Hotpoint arent bad, Ariston are Terrible and Indesit are alright but are very noisy. Indesit balance sensors are also alot more sensitive than current day Hotpoints, I thought that was wierd.Our Hotpoint has moved a few times but it hasnt done it lately.
 
I suppose as long as its a good machine thne it doesnt matter what condition it is in.What other machines do you have?

Thanks guys.Keep them coming!

HooverKeymatic....

Yeh i guess it's inevitible id see a few more Hotpoints broken, purely coz they sell in much higher numbers than many other makes. Their new machines certainly do seem very quiet tho. It's weird coz Hotpoint have got quieter compared to the 80s models & Zanussi have got louder compared to their 80s models.

Indesit make a nasty whining sound ive noticed. Well, at least the WIL model i saw did. Ive not much experience of Ariston but the A6146 is also available as a Hotpoint i think, which seems odd. Wouldve thought theyd have positioned Ariston in the middle of Indesit & Hotpoint for quality (Hotpoint being the more prestige brand, Indesit being the budget one).
