vacuum enthusiasts: what's your choice of washer and dryer?

Our Zanussi washer kept breaking, and on several occasions, it made noises. It sounded like a Dyson brushbar jamming, then the clutch making that awful ratchety noise!

Our Bosch is OK Apart from spitting suds our of the tray dispenser sometimes. It's approx 5 years old and never have us any problems.

I would LOVE a Dyson washing machine, Miele as a second choice.
Dyson is just soo colourful, and cleans VERY well
 
I was scared by those Dyson Washing Machines - they look as if they are about to eat you with the lurid colour choices used.

I saw one in Makro one when I was 5 & it scared the hell out of me!

I think you're probably using too much detergent Tayyab.

The Dyson washers were good, but they had some serious reliability issues and most machines had the contrarotator mechanism disabled as it kept failing, which just makes the machine no different to any other.

Dyson stopped manufacturing the machines and eventually stopped repairing them under warranty as they were so uneconomical to repair.

Stick with a Miele, Tayyab - they're in a league of their own with both washing results and reliability
 
Interesting thread

I'm interested in both laundry appliances and vacuums.
Over my time I've used many machines through home, family and through rented accommodation.
I'll try to put them in some forms of order:
Hoover Electron (childhood machine)
Hoover New Wave
Bendix tumbler (both at home)
Zanussi Nexus (nans machine)
My aunt has had a few Zanussi's over the years think she's even had a couple of old indesits, she now has a Beko (eek!)
My cousin has an Indesit washer dryer
At uni we had Maytag Neptunes
After the new wave began playing up, we acquired a Hotpoint WMA35
First rented house had a basic Hotpoint first edition, my other aunt has the same
Second rented house had a Hotpoint WMA35, in the same colour as the one at home!
Last rented house had a whirlpool awod, can't remember the model, it was a six sense.
And finally at home, we have a brand new Miele w3228, just like another poster on here

As well as a visit to bosch as a kid, I've tried some of the older models
