I don't know if you can get this one in your country, but 'Miele' systems stand for fantastic quality, not the highest costs also, but just a little more than the normal ones, ours already took 12 years and with some cleaning from time to time it still works! Try it out I would say..

Huumm that really very interesting because i saw a miele one the other day and it did look very snazzy and the price tag looked good as well which of course is always a bonus, i think i'll go back and find out more about the model i saw, cause if you've had your for 12 years sounds like a good run to me, now a days they don't seem to make electrodomestic items to last

I don't know what kind of washing machines you have in Spain. We have a Whirlpool, and it works really well. I would suggest that if the one you had worked really well, then maybe you should see about getting the same brand again.

LOL i'm all for saving funny enough mum and i were shopping and looking around last month at a single standing dryer (only cause it was raining cats and dogs for 2 weeks none stop) You could be right on this spend a little more and have the joy off fluffy and clean clothes
