So in reality if I had bought a machine with a top spin of 1000 and used it on that speed it would in theory last the same time as a 1400 one used only at 1000 is that correct? My husband wanted us to go for a higher speed and use it on the lower option as he believes if we had bought a 1000 model and used it on the 1000 it would have worn out more quickly than using the higher spec on 1000 instead of the 1400! Personally I would have gone for the 1000 option and saved money but as it was we got the 1400 at a lower price anyway as on special offer. I have a 1400 new Beko and have been using it at 1000 and to be honest the clothes comes out almost dry and I would imagine would be too dry for ironing easily if used any higher!

Can you advise as to whether it will in any way prolong the life of a machine if you don't use the maximum possible spin speed...ie if you buy a 1400 but only use it on 1000 will that machine in general last longer than buying one with a max spin of 1000 and using that one at it's highest spin speed of 1000.
