The Dyson repair man recommended Hoover (blew the control board and warned us over NLA bearings), we have had a few long lasting Bosch appliances as well.

I love my Hotpoint. Not because its any good, or even reliable.  But as I cannot use it (too complicated), that means I don't have to touch it.

Had posh Miele, AEG etc, found new AAA energy/water saving rating did not use enough water so left soap in clothes.

Bought cheapest Beko, is noisy and takes ages, but perfect wash and was 120GBP delivered-ok after 4 years of heavy use too.

Should add we got a very good deal from QED a few years back, and a free 10 year guarantee!

as ours is on that much it made real economic sense to spend just a little more, and relax for a decade  :y

Very happy with our Hotpoint machine. Previous one was Servis and we had nothing but trouble with it. Also didn't seem to get washing as clean as the Hotpoint. ( We had a Servis cooker a few years ago and had loads of problems with that too!)

Had an LG with gear rather than belt drive for nearly 10 years.It was completely trouble free until about a year ago when the bearings in the back of the drum disintegrated.I replaced them (a pig of a job)but now the same thing has happened again. :(

I'd happily buy another if it means I don't have to use it, as it has a control system that only women can decypher!

I have a Hoover washer/dryer, no issues till a while back, asked for some advice on the forum.  Was suggested I put it through a hot cycle (empty) as it sounded like a bearing was squealing but in only one direction.  Hot wash sorted it.

Very happy with it, just not sure I have it on the right wash program, and cant find the manual to check it.  had it a few years now, no real heavy duty use as I live alone, but is still used daily/ every other day depending on time of year.

Knowing how to use one and admiting to it to the wiff are two very different things
