Hi people A while we thought we would need to buy a new washing machine so as we have always had A E G we contacted their care line outlining our needs and the following model was reccomended . L54840. in the region of £420. luckily we managed to get the old boy repaired.

We are on the lookout for a machine which will take a large load due a large family. found an ideal machine today, a Beko, but as it gives no audible signal when buttons are pressed, it would not be suitable. the lady i spoke to a Beko was extremely helpful and would like me to email her my suggestions. would be grateful for any advice. Brian.
