Best washing machine under Ј250?

A question about : Best washing machine under Ј250?

I need a washing machine for my flat as I currently don't have one. I am working within a budget so have to keep it around Ј250 or less. As a single guy I will just be doing light loads of underwear and clothes. Also, anyone doing special offers like free flights etc lol.

• Good brand?
  Bosch Maxx WAE24063GB

• Our Bosch has lasted over 13 years without any faults so would definately recommend the above poster's suggestion.
• I've had a Bosch for the last 7 years so would also recommend. WE use Which for all our research (and did so when we bought ours). The Bosch range is still coming up as a "Best Buy".
  Wouldn't buy a Hotpoint as they merged with Candy some years back and subsequently are using more budget materials.
  Edit: forgot to mention that I'd also recommend AO online as in Cisco001's post. I've bought a couple of things from them and they're good with deliveries etc.

  Ј295 for Ј207

• When my 4 year old Bosch Excel broke down in December I decided to replace rather than repair as I'd never been overly happy with it. I went for this Whirlpool machine:

  It has a 9kg drum and so far I'm loving it.
  I ordered from AO.com and had one small niggle. It comes with free delivery, but I was charged Ј10. When I phoned to query it I was told that as I'd ordered after 8 pm I was charged Ј10. I would have preferred to wait until the following day and have free delivery but this wasn't an option.
• I have a Bosch, it's now 10 years old and seems to still be working fine. My mother had a Bosch, it needed to be replaced 20 years later and she replaced it with a Hotpoint. The Hotpoint was so noisy and vibrated so much the TV a good 15 feet away in another room could not be heard even right next to it because the washing machine was so noisy! It lasted about 3-4 years. She's now gone back to get another Bosch and I doubt will ever buy anything from Hotpoint again- cheap but for a reason!
  If you can get to a library you can look back through old Which? guides which will point out good and bad brands/machines to keep an eye out for. I used the guides to choose my washing machine, fridge and iron. All are still going strong (touch wood!) and if I need to purchase something else I wont hesitate to look through the guides again.
• I am also looking for a washing machine for one person for under Ј250. I want a spin speed of at least 1200 but the load capacity doesn't matter.
  Also I am rarely in until 3pm onwards so I would like a delivery after this time. Can anyone recommend a shop which will deliver at this time onwards?
• how about this one?
