According to my Granny it used to be known as Dolly Tub City due to the local miners bathing in the dolly tub in front of the fire.

A tin bath in front of the fire seems a life time a go ..... suppose it was thinking about it.

First house I lived in had no bathroom so it was a plastic bath in front of the fire when I outgrew the sink.

Personally think you cannot knock the quality of a Miele...

But they aint cheap..

But did get mine on a very good buy, including a 10 year parts and labour warranty....which Im a long way through with no issue at all touch wood. 

If you can afford one, Miele without doubt.
AEG after that
and Whirlpool are my less expensive choice

Don't go anywhere near Dyson or Hoover.

Likewise.

tragically , the house goods built here have two different standards.. one for export and one for inner use..

and they are definitely different in quality..

The same is hapening here for a long time. Home brand Gorenje is almost 2x more expensive in home country than in foreign countryes :-/

no surprise then.. :-/

worked on a good many gorenje and i have to say not bad machines at least they use stainless steel outer drums unlike most of the others.
Hoover, Re badged candy
Hotpoint Re badged indesit/ariston
10 years ago aeg were a market leader in quality but sadly not any more as they are now owned by electrolux group as are zanussi,
Beko you gets what you pay cheap and cheerful but very easy to work on, Don't ever buy a washer dryer they are all a load of cr**
Take it from me i have been repairing them for the last thirty years i even go back as far as twintubs and single tubs,

Was told that some Bosch machines are made in Italy now .. with  a very poor reliability & quality record so far :-/ :-/ :-/

We had a tin bath because the plastic one melted in front of the fire......
