Washer dryer, repair or replace

I'll order the new machine then.

When we buy a machine, we get one of those £2.50 a month insurance jobbies which does a like-for-like replacement if they can't fix it.

£2.50 a month? Isn't most breakdown insurance much more expensive than that? I'm normally opposed to insurance when it can be avoided, but I am curious who this is with and what the smallprint says.

Currys/Comet usually always offer you either a 'lump sum' 2 or 3 year extended warranty, or in recent years this ongoing neverending drip £2.50 or £3.50 a month (depends on the value of the goods insured)

We havent actually bought a dishwasher in years, when they no longer deem it fit to be repaired they send us a voucher covering it's replacement cost which we take down to Currys and get a new one, and another policy.

After the first couple of times I thought they would stop offering me the policy, but seems not.

If you have the space get seperate washer dryers, this way they tend to be more simple & less likley to go wrong & when one breaks you only need to replace 1 unit

But if you do get a combo unit then yes get the insurance - it saved me alot of money

Get pissed, throw it in your neighbours garden, then key the b'stads car when he complains.

Move to a bigger house that can accomodate a seperate washing maching and dryer.
