Just buy her a new washing machine Albitz as a lovely treat........and NOT as a Christmas present! ::) ::) ::) ::) :D ;)


Course not!
Washing machines far too expensive for Christmas prezzies.

Iron's on the other side are about the right price, and make excellent presents I'm told  ;D

Better for birthday presents for ungrateful girl friends I find   ;D ;D ;D

thanks for that info mark when my bosch turns up i shall have the cover off inspecting to see if its a badge engineerd hotpoint still has a free 5yr guarentee though so £299 for 5yrs guarenteed use aint bad i suppose!

Whirlpool is 2 years old cost £450 (Washer Dryer) and let me down  :'(

If you do choose to replace your machine go for a bosch,miele or zannussi dont touch hotpoint,indesit,servis(same company) hoover are just as bad and whirlpool aftersales service looses them down, also if you buy from the likes of comet or currys play them off each other they will be willing to discount either through free delivery and connection and disposal or in reduction of price and check the features you want i.e. big drum,washer dryer and dont be afraid to haggle with em they dont expect it but will bend over backwards.....

That's about the only reason our machine still lives!
