Indesit WD 12 X

When I moved into my house about 3 years ago, I inherited a manky old Hoover washing machine. It was truly horrible but it did it's job and I couldn't affford to buy a new one. I got about a years worth of use out of it and was pleased when it decided to stop working, even though it meant me forking out for a new machine! Now, because my house is tiny I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a washer/dryer; I was fed up with clothes hanging ...
...against buying one mainly because of problems they had had with theirs. Anyway, my mind was made up and I'm very glad about it. Now, about the machine: Dimensions - Width: 595mm Height: 850mm Depth: 535mm Capacity - For the washer: from 1 - 5.5kgs For the dryer: from 1 - 2.5kgs Spin speed - up to 1200rpm Water supply - Hot and cold preferable Price: I paid just under £300 2 years ago from Powerhouse. It wasn't on offer, so I think this is ...

...my demands. I bought this Indesit washer dryer just under a year ago, but the life it's had with me is probably worth 3 years already!! I do one to two washes a day, be it a quick wash (I am one of the mums who steals my baby's blanket when he's not looking so I can give it a wash!!) or a boil. The washer part of the appliance offers a wide choice, but I suppose you'd expect that from any washing mashine in 2004! The spin speed goes up to 1200 ...
...novice, the higher the spin speed, the less water is left inside the fibres after a wash, meaning it is quicker at drying!! You can also adjust the spin speed down to 600 for delicates or even choose to let your clothes rest in the rincing water at the end of the wash, for anti-crease results on drying. There is an energy efficient option too, where the washer will use less water to do its job. It's quite useful but I must admit that the washer ...

Having a galley kitchen with the plumbing in the centre i was truly grateful to find a machine that didnt require a dreaded vent to ...

Indesit WD12 - Washer dryer. "A programme for all seasons" as per the manual however to be honest I only ever use the one setting. Number 4. All year round. Functions Normal wash The machine has three fabric settings each with a variety of options which is dictated by how soiled your laundry is, from light to heavily, and this changes the length of the cycle and the different functions that is involved during, eg wash cycle at 40c, rinse cycles, ...
...conclusion, I have found this indesit to be a long serving slave to my clothes, never let me down, leaked or blown up. It is relatively quick and not too noisy. Fits nicely under my work top and has the two colour options most go for. It doesnt have any sort of annoying beep to indicate its finished just winks at you with a lovely red eye until you turn him off. ...

This is suitable for anyone who needs a washer dryer due to lack of kitchen space. It is quite eco friendly too and you don't notice a huge difference on your elctric bill. The look of the washer dryer is nice and looks trendy in a modern kitchen. If you have a more traditional styled kitchen you would want to get one that is built into the kitchen units. It washes the clothes well and has two different spins - 1200 and 600 depending on which one ...
...would expect from a washing machine. The difference between this washer dryer and a tumble dryer is that the drum is not as big so the clothes do come out a little creased. There is a setting that means the cycle will stop drying clothes when they are almost dry to allow you to iron them or hang them up and this means less creases. ...

...web is quite good. Type Indesit in Google and it is at the top of the list of results. I wish that was the case for other manufacturers. You need to know your machines name to find it on the site though and it is by no means obvious when you look at the machine. The name WD12 is on the front of the manual though. There is a parts phone line for ordering replacement bits, very handy if you want to check your repair man is not overcharging. I was pleasantly ...
...replacement parts to be sent at the cost of £5.44. The call out charge alone would probably have been £30 for a repair man. The next bit is for the handy man or anyone wanting to know if they are being conned by the repair man. The job of replacing the handle was not very hard about 15 minutes work. The first step was to open the door. This is done by using a screw driver as a lever between the remaining plastic of the handle and the door frame. ...

After 18 months my WD12X Indesit washing machine gave up the ghost, a repairman came, took one look at it, and said, it's an Indesit, they're always going wrong, it's not worth repairing. Searching on the web rapidly confirmed that indeed Indesit washing machines are always going wrong. To add insult to injury, my Indesit cooker (also 18 months old) went wrong the same week, which cost £60 to repair, and my Indesit diswasher is giving me cause for ...

Review of Indesit WD 12 X

I purchased this machine nearly 3 years ago, mainly for the versatility of the programmes, the 1200 spin speed and the energy rating A. I have been very disappointed both with its performance ( washing and drying) and its reliability or lack thereof. Within its first year it had broken down ( various faults including brushes, seals, heater etc) inumerable times. Its second year required nearly a complete rebuild ( fortunately it was insured). This ...
...noise. Our machine suffers with excessive noise on spin programme, despite closing off the door from the kitchen to the lounge you cannot hear our TV at its normal level nor can you have a conversation without shouting. It is on a level surface and is not over loaded and despite this fault being investigated more than once no solution can be found. It also has the annoying habit of starting a programme then stops and just clicks round and round ...

This was bought from my local curry's store with the logic that a washer dryer would be handy. I do not have a very large kitchen or a lot of space so this seemed like the perfect option for me. It seemed to have everything that I needed - a good 1200rpm cycle and a good grade wash system. It was quite impressive for the money that was being paid. It was finally delivered and everything was fine for a couple of months but then the cycle got stuck ...
...Couple of weeks later the same again. By this stage I was not a happy bunny because when it broke I had neither a washer or a dryer. :( Everything was fine for another couple of month when it got stuck again. I was very disappointed, but Currys would not take it back as it was not broken for a certain length of time. THEN disaster struck. My ex-partner had left the house and the washing machine on. I came home to find my house flooded AND even when ...

After moving house about 3 years ago I had no where for my seperate washing machine and tumble dryer to go as previously I had a conservatory for them to go in. So out went both and in came what I though the ideal solution. What a nightmare. You do a load of washing, you then cannot put the whole load in to dry. So in goes half a load with the other load hanging around. It then seems not to dry as well. When you take the items out after the dry ...
...a quick shake and almost like magic they are dry. In goes the next load. So about 3 hours later you have finally washed and dried one load. Now for the next. I am sorry to say but I would not recommend a washer dryer to anyone with a young family because as you know you tend to have washing coming out of your earholes. Unfortunately 2 years down the line the drying part of the washing machine decided to give up but still washes without any problems. ...

No space in my kitchen for seperates when i moved in with a small baby and no gas had to do something. had a grant and this combined model was the only one that i liked in my price bracket. Easy to use buttons and functions. had extra economy button so i could to half loads which is ideal. Good 30 degrees half an hour wash which comes in handy. Tumble dryer is good if you have it on highest setting which takes a while with a full load. If you put ...

...eighteen months ago and the Indesit washing machine that came with it has been a disappointment. Firstly, and bizarrely, despite its A rating - their is no half load option on the machine. The dryer is awful thus unusable, ebverything came out smelly foul. The concrete block on top has sheared off from the bolts and the replacing them and new brackets has cost £90 to fix (including repair man fees). he also said Indesits were wholly unrelaible and ...
...even when concrete is in place! The quality of cleaning generally is poor. There are considerably better products on the market which will not let you down so early in their life times and around the same price! I would never buy another Indesit machine again. ...
