Anne, when my trusty old Miele washing machine died I decided to buy a Bosch to replace it on the excellent advice of Tony D'Souza,(oft recommended on here) and I am very pleased with it. I don't like tumble dryers personally and I was under the impression that if you wash a large load you have to take half of it out to tumble dry properly. The one thing I would make sure of though, is to buy the machine with the fastest spin speed, mine is 1600, it makes a lot of difference to the drying time. I'm afraid I'm not very patriotic about buying expensive items, I'd rather go for quality! |
