I had an Electrolux 8kg front loader which kept breakign down so I ditched it after a few years. We have an acquasmart which I quite like, though it was expensoive. We've only had it about 9 months or so, but no issues so far. We also have a small euromaid front loader. it had to be replaced after breaking down the first time I used it! 2nd one seems to be fine so far..... My parents have an LG which they've had for years and never any issues.
I would personally avoid ever buying electrolux or associated brands (simpson, whirlpool, etc) ever again due to the absolutely shocking service.
