Re: Washing Machine Suggestions

Ahhh, washing machines…that big white thing in the kitchen…I don’t touch it..Nasty piece of equipment that requires computer, textile and water temperature knowledge …it bleeps..a lot, and has a digital panel which would not be out of place on the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise..I avoid it..it’s the work of the devil.

My current AEG Lavamat washing machine, probably not manufactured in Germany is now 15 years old and has never gone wrong. It is only recently that the spinner has got noisy.

I was once told that John Lewis washing machines were manufactured by Electrolux/AEG and this confirms it.....


TOP TEN 10 MOST RELIABLE WASHING MACHINES - JOHN LEWIS WASHING MACHINES. John Lewis washing machines are actually built by the Electrolux Group. They are high quality machines - built in the same factories as Electrolux, AEG and Zanussi.
Perhaps so, and I admit that our john Lewis washing machine has been excellent.
However, as Todger says, John Lewis probably have their own quality control and the Eyeties who make them are fully aware of any slipshod manufacturing and they'd lose their contract quicker than you can do a quick rinse.

Oh, I've taught my wife how to use it.
I don't need to bother with it now.

You just beat me to it Percy !!
Most European makes are made in china , although their offices
may still be in europe !!
Cars are going the same way too !!
We can expect the Chinese home make products to improve as
they copy our ideas !! and the patents expire !!
Our manufacturers will regret setting up in China !!

Re: Washing Machine Suggestions

I had an AEG for many years but wouldn't have another after they became part of the Electrolux group.
My last washing machine is a Bosch, I have had it for a number of years and like it.
