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

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.

Well this poll has been far more useful than I expected. Thanks to all who voted.
I was leaning towards repair, but in the face of more than 80% saying otherwise I've changed my mind.
In the meantime I've discovered I can get a machine for £280 delivered that has a feature mine doesn't, sensor as opposed to timed drying.
When my plumber re-appears to complete work on my bathroom I will see if he has the time to do repair, I doubt he will charge me more than £30, but then I doubt he has the time as he should have finished the bathroom weeks ago. (He does all sort of jobs including electrical work for me, and he did comment in passing that he could look at the machine for me.)
(The £98 cost of repair was the fixed-price quote by manufacturer's people.)
Assuming he doesn't have time, I'll order the new machine then.Last edited by IR35 Avoider; 29 July 2008, 16:47.

Not sure I’d bother with the dryer bit. Just drape your clothes over the backs of chairs etc and they dry anyway is my feeling, or am I being too much of a ‘bloke’?

8 votes for buying a new one and 1 vote for repairing the old one.
The CUKers have spoken.
Splash the cash.
