I was with a mate when he was making a purchase in one of the retail sheds,
it was almost finalised when the assistant said
âWould you like to buy the additional warrantyâ
âDo you think I need itâ
âIt is always advisable sirâ
âDo you advise additional warranty on all your machines?â
âYes sirâ
Thanks for your time i will go somewhere that sells reliable fit for purpose machinesâ
And we left

I think they advise warranty because they get commission on it, not because they have a good grip on what is the most reliable brand.

If they had any sense (big if) theyâd try hardest to sell warranties on reliable stuff and not push it on the items which are likely to break.

Weâve got an LG Direct Drive. Washes clothes and everything.

ah knew someone would ask that . i provide them in rented properties and our last personal one lasted 11 years
brilliant , thats a great story .
Must have bought the only bloody lemon Miele which lasted 2 months past itâs 5 year warranty and was beyond repair.
Current Bosch has lasted 7 years and is super quiet but will surely explode at any moment.
Just buy anything, itâs a fucking lottery.

Iâve had a Dyson.
Incredible suspension. And build. I had to let it go when it wasnât supported anymore and I had a fill Issue. Itâs in the garage
Got a Miele now and the motor is on a different level to most.
Oh, I donât knowâŚ
This, TBH. At some point in the last few decades, white goods manufacturers figured-out that it was cheaper to pay a call centre to fob-off annoyed customers than it was to spend a fortune QAâing machines made thousands of miles away by even more unaccountable people than themselves.
Ask enough people and everyone will have bought an absolute lemon made by every company youâve ever heard of, and equally, the next man along will have had a lifetimeâs faultless service from the exact same brand.
QA is left to the customer - and even when those machines kill, other lazy numpties buy them, cos they so cheapâŚ
6000 tumble dryers from one parent company caught fire between 2004 and 2015, 300 people were injured and 3 died. Exact same machines are still for sale.
Stay lucky, mofos.

Weâve had an LG direct drive machine for 10 years with no problems at all. And being direct drive thereâs no belt to break, and itâs quiet. This is the equivalent model - and itâs half teh price of a Miele!
