[Domesticity] Dishwashers and Washing Machines ...

[dancefloorlandmine]

In a sudden mood of domesticity, I have now re-ordered my dishwasher from the handy little electrical goods shop around the corner - it will cost about £30 more than Currys had quoted, but should be with me in a fortnight. Currys took two months to tell me nothing, so I cancelled the order with them.

Now I just need to get a washing machine and the kitchen will be complete. Do any of you domestic gods and goddesses out there have any advice regarding washing machines? Are washer/dryers more trouble than they're worth? What should I be looking out for? What should I avoid? Are any of you subscribers to Which? [grin] All I know is that I'd like something in silver, to match the other appliances ...

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!

40 degrees bog standard simple wash ... [grin] Someone should market washing machines with a "bachelor button" - leave the dial for people who actually have various items, and just press-and-go.
