Which washing machine should I buy new in Tenerife?

[Cruise]

Hi all,

Your Opinion
On buying a new washing machine in South Tenerife ...Whch Make , Model No. would you recommend , that has a long life and is easier to get parts in future, if neccessary. Not wanting to spend more than 300E. Thanks in advance.

You should have no problem getting a washing machine under 300 euros from many outlets, Worten at Las Chafiras or the big electric store at El Camison will have lots of brands.

A lot of manufacturers offer a 2year guarantee and whether parts are available or not is really only an issue if you can fix it yourself.My experience has been that to call a repairer plus the costs of parts is false economy, as long as the machine has lasted a few years its better to scrap and buy new.

My current machine is Whitestone , made in S America I think.It cost under 250 euros with a 2 year guarantee, has given no problem and I've had it 6 years.

My place is in Silencio so I tend to get any white goods from Torres at Las Rosas, wonderful service, they deliver same day at no delivery charge.

good luck with your purchase

We bough a Lynx Tl 730 toploader - 5kg max load from Electrocris in El Camison a couple of years ago , think it was around €260 .
Easy to use and varied programmes - just remember to close internal drum !

Personal opinion only but I find top loaders very hard on clothes,advantage is easy to add another item but have had finer clothes decimated by top loaders
Candy front loader has short 29 ? Minute cycle often enough to freshen
Not too dirty clothes. Has longer wash cycles for dirtier items
Maybe prejudiced as have Hoover/ Candy here in Scotland

We have one of those Candy washers and seldom use anything but the 29 min cycle

Wish We had the choice. Ours goes for ever.

Never really had a problem with Lynx / has a short 40C cycle too !
Ideal size for the space available in our bathroom was another factor though we could fit a front loader.

I think one of the most important things, with any make is to use an anti-cal tablet to protect from the calcium build up.

I was once told by a washing machine engineer that you had two choices: buy any model that is cheap and dump it when it breaks, or buy an AEG and it will outlast you.

Our friends bought a BEKO front loader 6 years ago for their apartment here, has a quick wash plus a half load wash! they prefer it to the Bosch one they have got at home in UK! :laundry:
