Small Reliable Machines....
That's obviously the reason the more reliable brands of washing machine don't go over 8 or 9kg for their drum capacities.
Zanussi & Miele have a maximum size of 8kg & AEG have 9kg - in that standard size cabinet there just isn't enough room for anything more. I don't really know why anyone needs more than 8 or 9kg anyway. Even 7kg would be fine in our family.
I always thought LG were ok, albeit with too many gimmicks for me to take them 100% seriously, but the way that drum/tub is crammed inside the cabinet is just daft & i would'nt have expected LG to release a machine with poor balance control software either, given their electronics expertise in other fields. Disappointing.
I wouldn't be overly fussed about a Miele either though. They're fine when they're working but there seems to be a few too many people unhappy with the charges from Miele if they go wrong. I'd rather spend £500 on a 7kg AEG with 5 year warranty & know that if it dies after the warranty ends, it's only cost me £100 per year & hasn't got such a huge drum that compromises it's proper functioning. Plus being an AEG/Zanussi/Electrolux, it's unlikely to be subject to the poor quality control of a Indesit/Hotpoint or (even more likely) Hoover-Candy, despite costing a similar amount to some of their machines.
