Not a comment on the machine, but I wondered about the "benefits" of higher spin speeds, thinking 1200 was slow these days so I looked it up, stumbled across this :http://www.whitegoodshelp.co.uk/washing-machine-spin-speed-efficiency/, seems as usual there is a con /bs with higher speeds. Worth a quick read.
^^ I bought her a couple of weeks ago. In fairness, she is twice the price @ £399. But she is a 9kg, 1400rpm, A+++ with 5 year warranty. 10 year warranty on her direct drive motor. She is quiet, beautiful and supreme in every way. I love her.

That's a really crap article. It assumes the ONLY reason to buy a higher RPM machine is because it saves you money in the long run. Seriously, I've never known a single person who factors that into the equation.
People buy a higher RPM machine because it's faster to dry things. The faster spin means more water is removed, which means it drys faster. If you have kids running around and need things washing regularly, or you work long hours and only get the weekend to do washing, then over the day, it makes a huge difference.
It also uses the results from a 6kg washer (which is quite small), and is an 8 year old article. This is an issue because since 2014, washing machines must be rated A or above (A+++). Some older models might still be kicking about in shops though, as it wasn't made illegal to sell them.
The article also makes more silly claims to try and bolster their point:
Stable washing machines? LOL. Yes, okay. I guess if you live on a boat or an airplane then how "stable" it is might be important. For the rest of us, adjusting the legs properly and placing it on a flat surface will do.
As for lasting longer because of being slower....Rightttt.....Because the parts wouldn't have been up-rated to handle the load, like every other mechanical device that is built by someone with a brain. It's like claiming a 1 liter Corsa engine will outlive an 1.8 Honda VTEC because 1 liter is less.
Quite simply, people normally buy a higher RPM washer for speed, not for saving money.

Had so many issues with my last beko washing machine. it broke down 7 times in its first year, and finally Beko decided to write it off and i got a replacement, with a different make, from currys. Never again would i buy a Beko washing machine.

John Lewis sell this model with a 2 year warranty for £249 so a possible price match?

JL only does price match if the other retailer has both an online presence and a physical outlet. Not entirely sure if co-op electrical is the same as co-op stores on the high street but it could be worthwhile to give it a try

Always worth filling in John Lewis online price match form. Much easier than trying to persuade the shop assistant to match.
Should have gone for this one instead of the Sammy Ecobubble for £400+ quid. I dont see much difference except for the high speed of 1600 rpm which takes water off the clothes well.

Cracking price. Even if it only lasts two to three years. Just chuck it away at the price

Agreed. Love the A+++ rating. Same as my Bosch that will dry 6kg & wash 8 kg which cost £1200. HEAT.
£199.99 MORE HEAT.

I read an article somewhere which highlighted how washing machine prices have come down at the significant expense of reliability. Apparently this is what consumers want- which is sad in a way, especially in an age when we should be trying to reduce waste and consumption. :disappointed:
