We currently have a Dyson. About 7-8 years old. (Was a present) Living on borrowed time as some spares are NLA.

When the bearings go it will be scrap.

We need a large load one for duvets ect.

No idea what is actually any good.

So just asking for advice as the tumble drier thread has got peoples interest

My friend supplies,fixes and fits machines and swears by Hoover

[Mr Skrunts]

Am in the market for one that duvets myself, the LG advertised on TV/comet copes with 11KG loads but comes it at £899

We're perfectly happy with our domestic Bosch machine - it's nearly 12 years old.  Can get a single duvet in without a problem.  Can't see the point of paying an extra £400 just so you can fit a double in.  How often do you wash your duvets anyway?  Take the big ones to the cleaners or the laundrette.

Actually, now I come to think of it, I've no idea how the wife gets the double duvet clean.  Maybe she doesn't.  Maybe it's disgustingly filthy.  Maybe she takes it down to the river and bashes it on a stone. 

Don't think I'll bother to ask - I don't really want to know the answer.

when me and the boiler set up home 6 yrs ago we used our argos vouchers as wedding gifts and i bought the cheapest washing machine and fridge frezzer there was and thought being cheap when they break il buy another treat em as disposable,6 yr on and never had a single fault with beko

We have and would recommend a Miele, prob a lot more than you want to spend though.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Depends what you want to spend.


Bottom end - Zanussi
Middle - AEG or ISE
Top end - Miele

Snap! My Bosch was about £500 12 yrs ago, only thing i have replaced is the water pump....about £20 iirc.....and it didnt die, it just became v. noisey.
And dont think coz i live alone, its not used much, usually 3-4 times a week its on.

And why put duvets in domestic washing machines?
A visit to the dry cleaners and ask for a machine wash 

[Taxi_Driver]

Should add.....i do put a cleaning solution thro it about once every 6 months.....suppose to descale the heater and clean the scum out of the machine.
Probably does the machine good being run at 90C once in a while...
Or could be just a waste of a fiver every now and then  :-/

Can't understand why we don't have the American ones. The dryer is stacked on top of the washer and actually fully dries all your clothes.

Agreed Jb, have presently and have had several Miele products all of which I can recommend without fear 8-)

Interestingly, the 'experts' are currently rating this as just as good as the top end Miele (note, the quality varies with wedge spent);

With the added bonus of superb aftercare support (Miele are a little bit hard to get bits for)

Do not buy an Ariston 
We did biggest mistake ever, never stopped spending on it.
Went back to Hoover, they have been reliable for us.
