A good washing machine brand , mid price range.

I’m currently on nordmende but it’s a washer dryer with good spin and energy efficient with a quick wash option if needed plus time delay. Prior to that I had Zanussi which was great . Not sure if I’ve answered your question though ! For me I wouldn’t buy hotpoint .

Bosch.

Have a 20 year old one in the garage and 7 year old one in the house - both working like new.

THe vast majority of modern washing machines will be generally reliable.

Whether a €600 one is much better in general use than a €400 one, will be questionable.

I have a Beko for about last 6 or 7 years, no issues. Some of the big electrical companies have recently gotten into the white goods sector, and might be worth a look. Samsung, LG, Hisense.

I have had a Candy one Since 2007 and its still going. Great machine.

good luck getting Bosch for 400..

My 2 cent - I wouldnt be bothered with the high end stuff, does not mean it will last longer, just go for whatever meets your needs in your price range.. I have hotpoint washing machine which is still going (20 yrs old), had a Samsung in the past which lasted a measly 5 years!

After several disappointing results with different brands of washing machines we bought a Bosch about 7 years ago and it's never let us down. Delighted with it.
