Noisy washing machines need not apply

When it comes to buying a new washer JackieDenham doesn’t want just any old thing. She wants a machine that’ll provide a cold wash for her “kids’ trendy tops” and handwash programme to boot, so she’s asked her fellow Weight Watchers for their suggestions for their favourite machine.

Unusually the recommendations aren’t the usual ‘avoid-at-all-cost’ comments, but each correspondent advocates their own particular machine as the ideal replacement: Servis, Indesit, Zanussi, Hotpoint and even the old twintubs of yore all have their fans, that Jackie is suprised by the lack of negativity.

However, it boils down to Bosch owner Anje who “bought it cos miele were out of stock – but hate it cos its bloody noisy!” to remind Jackie that there’s nothing worse than the racket from a washing machine at full spin. So much so that Jackie concludes with: “Thanks Anje that could be vital information cos DH was looking at that make this morning. Don’t want a noisy one!!”
