New washing machine

alexgirl73 · 28-12-2008, 01:37 PM

I'm the same as you matt. I only have space for a washer, and was going to go for a washer/dryer until I was put off by reading very bad reviews on them. I have to go down the radiator route as well, and tend just to make sure I have a couple of windows cracked open to stop condensation drying. I got a fab new washing machine a few months ago, an 8kg load one, washes duvets and everything lol.

try to get one with the fastest spin speed you can and then for things like towels they'll be much drier when they are finished.

Totaly agree there, get the fastest spin you can and the washing is almost dry when it comes out.

I've had a washer dryer for 12 years and it's been a godsend. My 1st one lasted 10 years . . . the replacement did go wrong but a warranty and persistence resulted in a replacement which has been going strong (almost on a daily basis) since . . . and with 2 small boys the thought of not having one fills me with dread

I had a washer/dryer and hated it. We now have separate machines, much better.

I've had a washer-dryer in the past too.......... only time I was pleased that I had it was when my mum was in hospital and I was bringing her washing home every night so that it would be dry to take in the following night. I found it difficult to iron things properly after it had been dried in there so put up with it for 3 years, then bought another which was "dryerless"!

Cheers the the advice ladies

Think we are going to go for the 1600 spin option and maybe install a dryer in the shed.
