Washing machines

[Coldicote]

Can anyone please suggest a (laundry) washing machine that gets on with the job, instead of taking ages like most of them seem to these days? Thanks.

dont know if you have noticed but 95% of machines that are sold today are cold fill, instead of hot and cold,
most people have got some storage of hot water.if not a combie boiler that produces hot water instantly, so why are we having to heat water in this expensive way,puzzels me?? when i went to menorca last year the washing m/c
took just 40mins to do a full wash,could not belive it???
The joke is we are being told to save ENERGY rip of Britain

I have just bought an Indesit washing machine. It was �199 about the cheapest machine you can buy, but I had no choice because it was the only one with the right depth for my space. However, it has a thirty minute quick wash which is ideal for me (an OAP) probably no good if you have active children but excellent for lightly soiled garments or daily washes.

I have a miele machine which also has a quick (thirty minute) wash. A full long wash can take just under two hours, but not everybody needs this so you can cut it down to a short wash which takes 1 hour 25 minutes. With having two teenage boys who like playing football, skateboarding etc I often use the long wash.

Thank you all all for sharing your experiences. I hadn't realised that most are cold fill these days.
