Having beem married a long time, I've had my fair share of washing machines..the first was like something from the Victorian era,that you had to keep poking the washing around with wooden tongs,but it had a wringer!
Anyway,I've had expensive ones,that were always going wrong,so now,like my hoovers,at which I get through at the speed of lightening,I just get the cheapest..mines a Candy..basic and very good,but I doubt they make them in silver.
Most people only use a couple of programmes,so no need for all the fancy stuff.
Good luck!
