I've currently got a Zanussi ZKI245 integrated washer-dryer which seems to be on its last legs; the motor makes a funny noise, and it's started making noises on spin which I think may be the early stages of bearing failure (from watching Youtube videos). The drum also occasionally hits the door during spin. Not sure how old it is, as it was there when I bought the house, but I'm thinking that it's probably not going to be economical to repair.
So, I'm thinking of replacing it. It looks like there are more or less 3 price points for integrated washer dryers; Indesit/Hotpoint/etc at ~500, Zanussi/Electrolux at ~750, and Siemens/Bosch at ~1000. Are the Siemens/Bosch ones worth the extra money over the Zanussi ones? I'm willing to spend it to get something that'll last.
The alternative would be to get an integrated washing machine, and get a free-standing condenser dryer. The only place I'd have to put the dryer would be the spare room, though, which is carpeted. Is it okay to put these on carpets?
