Which Washing Machine And Dryer?

[chris101]

Good Morning,

My wife and I are looking for a washing machine and separate or a two in one for our new house.

Firstly would you recommend us getting two different units if we have the space and would there be less chances of problems to occur?

We would like the products to be energy efficient, quiet, minimum of 9kg load for washing, have a quick wash option, have dry balancing technology, good long lasting build and good guarantee or have an option to extend to at least 5 years.

Our budget for the washing machine is around £800 and for the dryer around £300

Or as a combo around £1100

As we have just moved into a new house, we are looking to purchase by the weekend latest.

Thanks

Hi Chris, I have an article on Washerhelp about the pros and cons of washing machines verses washer dryers - Washer-dryer, or separate washing machine and dryer - which is the best?

Thank you for your response.

We are keen on the LG F1495BDS TrueSteam™ Washing Machine, 12kg Load, A+++ Energy Rating, 1400rpm Spin, White

How does this compare to the others and Is this available in 9Kg?

I'm not sure steam washers are worth it. I tested out a steam tumble dryer a few years back and wasn't impressed. To be honest, although I'm affiliated with them I would genuinely recommend you join Which? as they have reviewed hundreds of appliances and have a great offer on - Why subscribe to Which?
