Jackie, You want a reliable Washer/Dryer, try Miele. Now what would be nice, is if manufacturers, whose machines have bluetooth technology, like Miele, would be for them to provide a mobile App to operate the machine. Cheers Dave Hi Firstly, I wouldn't recommend a combined washing-machine come dryer, but that's through choice and experience of their unreliability. On its own, we have a Bosch washing-machine. What I like about it is that it has a dial that has a tactile pointer or arrow pointing to the top when it is off. If you turn it clockwise once, you get a 30 degrees wash. Turn it again and you get 40 degrees. Turn it again and it goes up to 60 degrees, and so on. There are other fancy buttons on it that may be programmed for holding a spin etc, but it's good in that you can count the clicks, feel the arrow, and know when the wash is finished because of some bleeps that persist for quite a while. When you've put your washing in the drum, shut the door, shoved your powder in the drawer and turn the dial to the heat you want, you press a small button which then bleeps. This tells you it's ready to go, and then you hear the water filling up. I don't know the model number, but it is a washing-machine only, and quite a high spin-speed.
