Since we purchased this product in September 2006 the Fridge compartment has failed 3 times! Engineers have to tried to repair it on each occasion, but about 6 months later (or less) it failed with the same problem.
There appears to be a design fault with this model of fridge/freezer. Indesit won't admit it to me, but I have found reviews all over the net, describing exactly the same symptoms. When it fails you hear a loud whining sound. I was told by the visiting engineer, that the Fridge compartment gets it's cold air from the Freezer compartment and the whining sound is caused by a fan which gets iced up and starts to complain as it labours. As a result, cold air is not being directed in to the Fridge compartment.
Indesit/Hotpoint have a new policy (late 2007) that you have to pay an engineer callout fee of about £100 if ...
Advantages: Great machine! Disadvantages: If used improperly may leave you're kitchen floor covered in detergent
When the old family washing machine finally packed up after a good 9 year run (R.I.P) it was time to time to turn our attention towards getting a new machine to live up to the old one's speeds, reliability and general performance. It was quite a few months ago now that we were flicking through an old Argos catalogue looking for a new machine.
The criteria that had to be met were:
1) High speeds for those stubborn stains
2) A good energy rating, so I feel like i'm doing my bit.
3) A good price
We finally decided on the Indesit SIXL 145S because it pretty much met all the above criteria though we did have to get over the opaque door which although seeming very small it was a weird notion not to be able to see the washing at all until the cycle finished. As previously stated we bought it from the Argos catalogue which is ...
Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
There?s been a legion of digital cameras that have passed through my hands since they started to become a serious contender for 35mm?s domination of the amateur market. Going from memory, they?ve included Philips, Casio, Canon, Nikon and errr?..Nikon. Of course the last one, my first DSLR, a Nikon D70 was going to be the last; but then we all say that don?t we, lads?
What I really meant was ?the last for quite a while?.
LOOKS LIKE THE ?QUITE A WHILE? HAS EXPIRED
Then my daughter started making noises about a night-school class in photography, where the minimum kit requirement just so happened to be a DSLR, and I got to thinking about letting her have the D70 for a ?song?, whilst good ol? Dad treats himself to the later and much higher-specified D90.
Since I bought the D70 four or five years back, things have moved on apace ...
