Thanks for all the advice guys.
In the end I bought the LG Washer/Dryer from Electrical 123 for £395. I will see if I like it and if not return it for a Miele Premier, but it seems a good price for an 8kg machine.
Also, just for interest - bought the Hoover Fridge Freezer HNMF206A as a second choice, the Zanussi ZENB225 being the first but everywhere had sold out! Also bought a Dyson DC14 Allergy.
Well, tomorrow is moving day! I have packed over 100 boxes so far. Because we are a tidy household I didn't realise how much stuff we had packed away in various places.
I'll post on the LG as soon as I'm in the new place / broadband is hoooked up etc etc
Cheers
Nick
