Can anyone help? Washer-Dryer Question

[raisin]

Does anyone have any experience with washer-dryers? I like these 3 but apart from the obvious price difference I'm not sure what the big difference is? It's a big purchase so I want to make sure I make the right choice.

Or maybe you can suggest a different one? I basically just need a silver or black washer dryer that can take a pretty big load and preferably has child lock. Are there any brands I should steer clear of?

Are you getting one because you don't have the space for both?
I've had one before and only because of the space issue I got rid of my separate washer and dryer. My personal opinion is that it was a nightmare!! You can't do more than one load of washing as your then using it to dry the lot that you've just washed. I always seemed to be washing and drying!! Obviously if there's no choice then I've always had the hot point Aquarius range. My friend has a washer dryer and swears by it but there's o ly here in the house so not much washing!

i hated mine like PP said it takes forever to just do 1 load of washing.
ours seemed to take about 3 hrs to dry a full load.. i could of dried it on a clothes horse by the radiotor/in the sun in this time..
we got rid of ours & just got a washer. x

I agree, I hated mine, it took forever to dry anything!

Thanks guys. I know what you are saying. I had a washer dryer before and hated it but we are moving to a new house and only have room for the one so not much choice. I know I'm going to hate it which is why I am desperate to find the best washer dryer I can

I heard bad things about Indesit and Hotpoint but not sure about LG and Hoover?

Will keep looking....
