Would you bring newish good quality (Bosch) white goods from the U.K. when moving to Onti?

Are there any items that you wish you had brought but didn’t and vice versa?

I think you need to look at cost for bringing items through customs as well as transport nowadays as it can make it not worthwhile post Brexit

Don’t bother. As stated, the associated costs make it not worthwhile and you’ll never find anyone to repair or service them. There are most of the better quality goods available here, Miele, Neff, Siemens(who own Bosch), etc etc as well as Spanish named versions, ie Balay which has a reasonable reputation. Also many less costly names, Teka, Fagor and so on.

I bought a reasonable price Siemens washing machine some years ago, never had any problems. Delivered and connected within twentfour hours.

There are numerous outlets for good quality white goods in Ontinyent. Cost and hassle of bringing them with you I'm sure negates any benefit. Think of all the adaptors you would need as well. 🤣

We left all our white goods in the UK and haven't regretted it at all.
