TBH, of the 2 you list, I would go for the Bosch, without any doubt. However, if you look for te Siemens equivalent, it may cost a little more but normall they have a 5 yr warranty, just remember you have to register it to get the full term. And that applies to all brands.
That Bosch is the leading contender too… its with 5 yr guarantee on John Lewis + disposal .. can’t fault it
Miele, and whatever motor they fit.If I had a washing machine last 8 years I would be ecstatic.
That said, and not wanting to hijack a thread but someone needs to ask bunker magnet what he thinks is the best washing machines on the market so we can tell our wives.
Should they be brushes or inverter motor
The Bosch I just ordered £549, equivalent Meile is £1100… for an untrained eye, can’t justify it
And that Bosch will probably serve you well, but the difference is there if you know what you're talking about or the person selling you the machine is able to explain why it's more expensive.

Just for example, the cabinet on a Miele is enameled not spray painted. The counterweights are cast iron not concrete. The outer drum (on most of the them, still, now) is stainless steel and not plastic.
The bearing diameter is larger so able to deal with the stresses of a full load and fast spin. The suspension dampers are a good quality hydraulic ram and arm, not a greased plastic shaft forcing air.
Their elctronics are vastly superier, but if they go wrong are expensive...but they hardly go wrong.
The machine is assembled with consideration to a tech being able to repair them.
There is more, but I'm sure you get the drift.
RE the dishwasher...... the ones with the plastic (polynox) base are no where near as good as the full stainless steel cabinet models.
Rather overengineered just to wash my shreddies don't you think?And that Bosch will probably serve you well, but the difference is there if you know what you're talking about or the person selling you the machine is able to explain why it's more expensive.

Depends if you value your clothes and want them to last
Not if you buy from Primark… unfortunately we r all in the quick disposable generationDepends if you value your clothes and want them to last
No idea which that is… we r quoted for a Siemens iq300 fully integrated version
Indesit and Hotpoint and now owned by Beko, however they still make their own machines that are different from the Arcelik group which is Beko, Blomberg, Montpelier and Grundig.
That I'm afraid is the way many have gone, welded plastic outer drums that do not allow their seperation and thus when bearings go, or even something as much as an unremovable bra wire its invariably a new machine. However, we have oursleves to blame largely for this as the manufatcurers are all looking for ways to reduce costs as for the consumer, price is everything and quality is rarely a concern on something as mundane as a washing machine
