Hey!
I'm looking for a new washing machine. My requirements are rather small. It has to be a front loader and it would be nice if the machine had a kind of short program.
The price is less important
So the first thing is that the washing machines are getting more and more modern and do not last as long (because nowadays you wash more often) it depends on what you need to wash but generally when buying a washing machine I would pay attention to the energy consumption...
We have a washing machine from Miele (this model: https://productz.com/en/miele-w3035-washer) and a dryer from Beko. Our Miele does what she does - washing one or two loads of laundry every day and we are happy with it.
