    Hi thanks for reply. Machine is f**ked,unfortunatly. Bareings gone. Sounds like a bag of hammers. Think a new buy is needed although I have got almost 8 years from this machine,,fault free.

    Any ideas what is a good machine to get these days? Mam swears by hoover washing machines,I'm willing to invest in a decent one.

    Friend of mine has a beko said she finds it great?

    hoover machines nowadays are not the same as the ones your mother had unfortunatly -they have great features on them but the build quality is crap -

    go for an entry level or mid range bosch ,will far outlast most on the market at the moment

    Yeah bosch was mentioned to me a few times. Bit expensive but i suppose you get what you pay for.
    If it gives me 8 years like the siemens one did i'd be a happy lady:D

    thanks for the advice

    As kinghted said,wouldn't advise Hoover. I for one am a huge fan of the Beko machines,particularly the newer models. The 7227 or the 8227 are great machines,and nowhere near the price of a Bosch.

    Hi had my shiney new BOSCH WAE24366GB Washing Machine delivered sat morning, hopefully money well spent!!:D

    @ Greetings I agree with you Most other appliances in my kitchen are Beko never had any problems with any of the appliances(touch wood)
    I think it''s worth investing in a good washing machine though,it gets used a lot in my house
