We gave up on cheap white goods , well washing machines after 2 exploding and rubbish Hoover ones. We bought a Miele machine and its not as friendly as the Hoover, in other words, it doesnt throw the cupboard doors open and come and see you, it stays put . It doesnt explode its concrete weight and scare the living life out of you in the process. It doesnt throw water everywhere. The Miele does what we want it to do, which is quietly wash stuff and keep itself to itself. Even Hoover couldnt explain the problems we had, but looking at feedback , it was a regular issue. The only issue with the Miele was the weight. We had 3 blokes deliver it to the kitchen, as it was over 100 kg. Look for deals for them. We had a £75 off weekend at PC Currys or whatever they call themselves and also a £75 off from Miele voucher, which meant it came in at £600 in the end. But its a great thing and hope it will stay in the cupboard for many years to come.
