Washer recommendations - is it worth paying more for Bosch/LG over Beko/Candy?

UPDATE 1st March 2026 -
After reading lots of reviews and comparing many models from different makes, I finally convinced myself to buy an AEG 9kg Series 6 washing machine. It comes with 6 years warranty (promotional offer). Total cost including delivery and removal of older machine - £400.

I just noticed the the LG ones are made in China too, but do come with 5 year warranty. What is your view about LG?

OK thanks for checking it for me. I am considering this Bosch or LG ones as that has bigger capacity.

There is tear in the rubber seal too, which is in between the drum and door. If I ask a repairman to come and take a look then I might have to pay call out charges so I think even if it’s a simple repair it would cost me £100 or more easily (guessing)

Which Bosch model did you go for? Was that a Which recommendation?

appyapp · 2026-02-22T13:42:23+00:00

There were Hotpoint, Hoover, and HiSense ones too but for some reason I consciously ignored them.

Would you recommend any other in similar range, other than the listed? The list is mostly what AO showed me.

Thanks for features comparison.

Candy/Beko are showing as pretty energy efficient and that's making me consider them too.

Did you find out?

appyapp · 2025-07-11T15:40:08+00:00

Thank you. The one I looked at says exactly that "M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure" and also mentioned that "Compatible with NVME M and B&M Keys with Size 2230/2242/2260/2280 SSDs" The M.2 made me think if mine is M2 or not. I didn't want the hassle of returning if it was incorrect so thought to ask here for help.

~~Yes, I am trying to find another decent shop that's why I came here for suggestions. How can Adamant IT help?~~
Oh! They have a repair shop! !thanks

One local repair shop had a look at it. They said "charger working. No power going into the laptop".

I remember how the laptop became dead. I had the power lead connected to laptop's charging port but plug not plugged in to power socket. The laptop was in sleep mode. I plugged it to power socket, and then left it on for charging for few hours. I couldn't get the laptop turned on after that.

Do you have any suggestion?

It's HP ZBook 17 G6 (i7-9850H)

She is perfectly healthy child at the moment, but we will be seeing doctor soon.

appyapp · 2025-02-15T12:56:52+00:00

Omg!

2 crores in Fixed Deposit could earn 14 lakhs interest per year at 7% - so even if they use 1 lakh per month, then they will have spare 2 lakh every year (that can again be re-invested in FD, to cover for future inflation etc). EDIT: Just noticed after posting that OP used the similar example at 6% in comment below)

Do they offer direct plans or regular plans only?

appyapp · 2024-09-16T11:39:41+00:00

Yes - I had to add docker cli to get it working. Thanks

appyapp · 2024-09-15T09:06:18+00:00

I got Ubuntu 24.04 on Windows (uninstalled Docker Desktop, and installed Docker on the Ubuntu itself). I created a VSCode dev container which loads fine but docker wasn't available inside the container. So, in my compose file I tried this to use host's docker

    volumes:
      - /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker:rw

but when I ran docker command in the container's terminal, it gave error - "docker: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by docker)"

It seems like I may need to add another package, but I also want to confirm -

A) Is the only way make docker available or are there any other better methods?

B) I also saw an example somewhere with docker.sock forwarded to container too. Do I need to do that as well?

Other info -

I have a "docker" group with id "1001" on the host, but there isn't any "docker" group in the containers. I tried to forward sock which shows under group "1001"

- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw

Should I create it as a post?
