Quiet washing machines: Is there such a thing?
Leaskovski over at Overclockers UK has something of a dilemma: The peace and tranquility of their existence has been routinely shattered by the racket from their noisy washing machine and so in a moment of ‘typing out loud’ has asked his fellow members: “Why has no one invented a new type of washing mashine that is quiet!???”
Aside from the usual comments of “remember to stick some sellotape over her mouth”, more realistic suggestions come in the form of recommendations for particular brands and in this regard Miele comes out shouting.
MikeHunt79 suggests Miele describing them as “silent until they start spinning at the end of the cycle”, while Jonnycoupe recommends a machine which distributes its “mass around the drum rather than a slab in the bottom otherwise the drum is pretty happy to shift around on its mounts shaking everything to produce the noise…I think Miele do this?” Philjohn suggestes getting a direct drive model and “only trusts the big German makes when it comes to dishwashers and washing machines (Miele and Bosch, in that order).
If you’ve got a story about a rowdy washing machine or can offer some advice to Leaskovski, jump over to the Overclockers forums.
Washing machines for a large load
Purpletiger23 gets straight to the point over at the eBay.co.uk Forum with her request: “I need a big one…….washing machine that is”. She needs one to handle “at least 7kg preferably 8 [and] with a quick wash cycle” and would like recommendations for which machines to go for and which avoid.
Suckers-r-us immediately suggests Miele which she describes as “expensive but excellent with large load”, while sleepyeyes0800 inherited a Miele from her mum’s vintage clothes shop business and is “still going now after 15 years.” Ivvie too, has both a Miele washer and tumble dryer which she describes as “washes really well. It’s also intelligent so if I don’t fill it to capacity on a “normal” wash cycle it reduces the amount of water it uses and the time it takes. Takes 8kg”.
However, the decision over which machine to purchase is not entirely purpletiger23’s alone as she usually leaves these choices to her other half. While this means she’ll “end up with the more expensive/technically best one” it may not necessarily be “the best practically if you know what I mean.”
If you’ve got a further suggestion for purpletiger23, hop over to the eBay forum and have your say.
Washing machine recommendations
Looking back at the subjects we cover most often at Forever Better, washing machines are the second most common household appliance after vacuum cleaners on which people seek recommendations before buying.
While not necessarily the most expensive whitegoods item, the time and cost of removing an old machine and plumbing in a new one, especially if it’s to be fitted under a work surface, means that the wrong decision can lead to a lot of inconvenience not to mention a mountain of unwashed laundry.
Which is why Countrymouse69 has once again turned to fellow members of the Weight Watchers community for their suggestions for the best washing machine and the responses are as varied as the owners themselves. AEG, Bosch, Dyson, Miele and Zanussi all have their advocates, covering such areas as durability, reliability and load capacity, the consensus being though to avoid cheaper brands as these are often a false economy.
If you’re particularly fond of your machine or have had a bad experience with a lesser brand why not drop by the Weight Watchers Forum and share your experiences.
