Hi from time to time on this list there is an enquiry about washing machines. machines are constantly being updated and so it's quite hard to keep track of what is available. so, has anyone bought one recently? 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.
