Our Bosch, chosen for lack of stoopid electronic gufgets is an Excell 1200. Very modestly specced by modern day standards it just keeps working flawlessly. It doesn't beep, it doesn't need extensive programming or button pressing, it has a delay start timer which is simply a start in 'n' hours facility, and it has a door which opens all the way for ease of access.
Water temperature is selected separate to wash programme. We tend to was at 30o on either easycare, cottons or delicates for almost everything. Eldest cub likes to press the extra rinse, reduced ironing and reduced time buttons but we generally only bother wish reduced time when we have a small or quick wash requirement which is hardly ever.
My philosophy is not to be tempted by all the whistles and bangs as it's just a machine to wash clothes etc., and it's best to get one that does that job well. the gufgets are just guff gizmos to persuade extra pounds out of your pocket and into the pockets of yet another $BigCo.
