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: It is an everyday washing machine that does the job Disadvantages: If you want high teach crome and digital displays it's not for you
I have owned and worn out several indesit machines over the years. This make has been inmoroving over the years and I have found it to be affordable and reliable with all the features of the so called better machines.
The 6kg load capacity is fairly reasonable and will take a sleeping bag or a quilt that's not too bulky. It cheeses me off when you own a machine but have to go to the laundrette because things won't fit!
In this day and age energy efficiency is important. Anything that saves energy and money is good news.
This machine has all the standard features you would expect. It's a work horse, it is reasonably easy to operate and the spin speed is ideal. It's spins well enough to get all the water out and not annoy your neighbours.
It's ideal if you are like me and just want a good relable machine that does the job. ...
Advantages: You get to meet lots of engineers Disadvantages: Unreliable, poor performance, costly.
On the 27th December 1999, my washing machine broke down.
On 30th December 1999, the day before the millennium eve, I went into labour and my son Liam was born. .
Couldn?t wait to bring him home that afternoon, which I did. I had many visitors as soon as I touched base; one of them was a local engineer trying to repair my machine.
With all the joy of bringing home my newborn, I couldn?t quite take it in when the engineer said my machine was irreparable! I loved my Zanussi and had it for many years without any trouble until today. I was in shock.
The last thing you want to break down (apart from the car) is your washing machine, especially as it?s nearing the big holiday season.
My husband went out that afternoon and after countless searches, found a dealer that had a washer drier in stock that he could bring home that ...
