I recently replaced ours with an LG, 10.5kg load. Decided against the 'smart' versions.
I rate the 5 year warranty (quite common with the Korean LG & Samsung brands) and 10 year warrantied direct drive motor (no belt).
Spent about £400.For the tumble dryer, we have an integrated vented type. Not very energy efficient, but does a brilliant job.

Have you considered renting a washing machine?
How many in your household/how many washes will you do a week?
Unless you're in for a Miele, it won't be economically serviceable and if you rent it's someone else's problem.
PS Don't be drawn-in by high spin speeds: excessive wear on the machine for diminishing drying returns.
Now I know the right place to ask.. What's good in washing machine and tumble dryer world? I've never bought either as I've lived in rentals until now. Budget of under 900 for both ideally. App support to tell me when a load has finished would be nice and the option to chuck bits in mid cycle when you forget a sock.
Also fridge freezers, budget of 800 top really if we need to spend that much. Ice and water would be nice.
Anyone got and brand recommendations or ones to avoid?
