Advantages: Great to look at, really really easy to use Disadvantages: Lacks the functions of similarly priced machines
The Indesit Moon is, as far as kitchen appliances go, a thing of beauty. Whilst I know deep down that it is very very wrong to like a washing machine this much, darn it, I just can't help myself!
I'm going to be straight with you - housework isn't my thing. By any stretch of the imagination! So when my boyfriend and I decided to finally get our own place, a washing machine was not top of my list of purchases...that it until I fell in love in the middle of Comet...well, maybe love is a bit strong...but the Moon certainly it eye-catching.
