I am really sorry dave..

But I think there is not one person who thought your washer is fine..

You said it"s too embarassing even to talk about it, and + your comments like "if you buy cheap you buy twice" -->deffinatley makes us belive it broke.

Don"t twist us lol xD

Glad it's not broken!

I'm glad the Aqualtis isn't actually broken & can see where the embarrasment stems from (ie forgetting to get the Library Card out of the pocket it was in), but the situation was easy to mis-read & presume the Hotpoint had died!

LG seem to have a loyal fan base. My personal reasons for being un-convinced are the child-like programs, which now even more manufacturers seem to be using *bangs head* (ie 'Shirts', 'Jeans', 'Bedding'). This annoys me because if you don't know what standard-named cycle to put such items on then you ought not to be living by yourself as far as im concerned!

The flashing lights/LEDs - Some are nice but they seem to go abit too far down the route of wooing people with looks, which makes me question the substance beneath.

Our neighbour had a mid-range one, looked after it & it only lasted 4 years, which for the price is rubbish i think. Finally i'm not arsed about the obsession with fast spins & massive drums so they don't appeal to that side of me either.

Granted they may be decent machines & Darren's one certainly looks to have character, but they just don't have my name on them.

Dave 886 New Washer.

I would buy a Miele if you can afford one. I have the Miele Homecare and love it to bits. Great washing cycles, you can set the machine to have deep rinses, very quiet machines.

Some LG machines seem to be around the same price range of Miele. Having never owned a LG machine I can not comment on them.

Good Luck

defo go for a miele...

I believe they do last for 15-20 years if cared for properly of course. The downside to that is you will get bored, or change taste during that time. Many Miele machines that are on eBay are there due to a kitchen refit, or a house move.

And sorry, but I hate LG with a vengance. We had an intellowasher about ten years ago, and it took FOREVER to balance, it would constantly distribute for hours, most of the time it would abort spin, annoying! And this was for normal loads too, just plain clothes not towels or heavy duvets too! We were going to buy an LG steam recently, thinking that the issue would be ironed out by now, but on some comment thread, people were complaining that their machines took forever to balance. I know it could have been an installation issue, but every other machine we've had since then takes less than half a minute to balance, not hours!
