The one major appliance that I would have liked to replace this time is the washing machine. It is old and not very well designed but it carries on working. I am loath to dump something that is serviceable because the landfill sites are full enough. Shame really because the latest Bosch Washing Machines look good, and they have a lot of energy saving features, using up to 76% less water and 72% less energy. They are also quieter than the old ones. And I found a company called Krillion that has the full Bosch range and can point you to the nearest stockist.
