[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 ...

I've ordered a Zanussi dishwasher, so maybe that's a recommendation to go for with the washer as well.

With a small kitchen, no central heating (or radiators) and no back garden, I have no idea how I would cope with laundry without mine. There is no way I could hang the stuff on airers to dry.
