Also (and I guess I can say this as an owner of a Miele washing machine) there's nothing wrong with a 150 quid Beko unit if that's your budget. It might only last two years, but it is cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one than having it repaired.
Also, I wouldn't slag off LG gear...sure it's not the best, but it's got a reasonably good name for half decent products at a half decent price. They are also one of the largest consumer electronics companies in the world, so they can't be THAT bad!

Pardon me for having an opinion, but then I have only been in the trade 36 years.
As for LG being any good tell that to the customer I went to last week with a 2 year old LG that had suffered a main drum support failure, that the machine was BER ( beyond economic repair )and was not a real cheapo. I advised her to buy a Bosch which she did. Buy a cheap washer at £200 that lasts 2 years, cost after ten years £1000 plus a far greater amount of breakdowns, buy a good quality machine at £400 to £500 and get 10 to 15 years of far more reliable service. The 'its cheaper to throw it away' attitude is one of the root causes of the poor quality on sale today. The WEE directive cannot come soon enough.
