Thanks Andy, I appreciate the advice. Will see if I can pick up something cheap with a guarantee.

Hi, I am living on my own in rented accommodation, and am likely to only be here for maybe 3 months or so. It seems like a waste of money to buy a brand new washing machine, as I may end up moving into shared housing in a few months (or another rental property with a washing machine already provided). Am I right in thinking I'm best off just picking up a cheap second hand machine to tide me over? There are a few that come up on Gumtree Bristol, but its hard to assess their quality/reliability. They are normally around £80, but you get the odd one for £30 or reconditioned ones for more... But as most washing machines don't seem to be built to last anymore I don't really know if they are even worth it? Would I be better off getting a new machine and reselling? What do you think? Thanks for any advice, Jacob
