Does anyone have any experience/comments on the washing machines below? Or what brand would be better?
AEG ProSteam® Technology LF7C8636BI Integrated 8kg Washing Machine with 1600 rpm - White - B Rated - 2 year warranty
or
Haier Series 4 HWQ90B416FWB-UK Integrated 9kg Washing Machine with 1600 rpm - White - A Rated - 5 year warranty
I can get both for roughly the same price, trying to decide whether or not to go for the better energy rating, or the better warranty.
First time having to buy a washing so any help/comments would be appreciated, thank you.

sorted byThe Haier may be decent, but they're Chinese made and spares can be a nightmare to get hold of!
yet the banner is splattered all over other models' product pages:
If you do decide on Haier option it may be worthwhile to pre-download and note archive of Haier PDF authored by Heather Chen dated 06 July 2023 that includes the indicated model in the wrty extension list:

Also note obligation to register to trigger wrty extension:
Consider that the choice of retailer (for any purchase) is potentially more critical as manu wrty is voluntary/unenforceable,
whereas the 5-6 years product quality & durability obligations of the retailer/creditprovider is mandatory and enforceable.
Polite reminder it is essential to directly pay the trader via any element of UK-regulated credit to provide access to S75 options (and beware any use of PayPal and/or "PayPal Credit" would need pre-purchase clarification if the transaction would subsequently qualify for S75).

I wouldn't be keen on an integrated machine myself, you will be paying a premium for integrated, and I prefer to leave the door and draw open to prevent mould and bacteria growth, so the cabinet door on an integrated machine would be a nuisance.
Gone with the AEG, at £440 through my work perks platform, it seemed like too good a price to pass on.
