You can subscribe over the net, for a short period. It doesn't have to be the whole year. You can then access this new set of tests on the net, and won't have to wait for your paper copy.

The online reports have much more detail in them than the magazine reports . I subscribed for three months last year when we had a lot of items to purchase and even though we didn't always buy the recommended product it was very handy to find out what features to look for and to avoid .

Consumer magazine can also be found in bookshops and supermarkets now .

One of the big retailers has big discounts on whiteware this weekend . Can't remember who now though .

754108 2009-03-07 08:33:00 Umm no. Couldnt be bothered going to bed, so stayed up

Sounds like me in the old days, but would have been on the fries and up for 7 days. :p

Anyway back to the topic

LG top loaders are pretty good, No agitator, better wash not so fast spin speeds thou.

Electrolux top and front loaders are very good.

Stay away from Samsung top loaders.

Simpson are ok for an easy to use dial type top loader
Westinghouse top loaders are pretty good also

754109 2009-03-07 09:14:00 Front loader or Top loader ?
Front loaders are the norm here in the UK and Europe, Use less water than top loaders
and don't have a agitator. Some people don't like them because they take longer to do a cycle. But most have a quick wash function. We had a Samsung which we had no trouble
with. Many people recommend Bosch. If you live in Auckland head along to Autel appliances they have a good range of front loaders.

754111 2009-03-07 10:59:00 Had a fantastic washing machine for 41 years now! Admittedly required a bit of tender loving care now & then, but still good as the day she married me. :D :D :D BobM (1138)
