Indesit WIB111/WIA111

...opted for this machine, the Indesit WIA-111. I had heard good things about Indesit from people I knew so I hoped this would be a good one. I ordered it online from John Lewis, and it arrived a few days later. Luckily, my dad came up to plumb it in for us, so we didn't have to fork out for that. I did watch him do it, so I know it was easy to do. We had to remove all the layers of plastic, cardboard on the corners to protect it, and then remove the ...
...had to call out the Indesit engineer a total of 3 times - not good huh? The same error has actually happened 3 times over, which is worrying but *touch-wood* it hasn't happened in a while! Basically, all the LED's on the front (which show the status of the wash) flashed at the same time, the door lock LED was constantly on, and the door didn't lock during a wash. So they came out, pulled out the machine and had to replace its brains (some sort of ...

Review of Indesit WIB111/WIA111

Tbis base model washing machine is whats known as cheap and cheerful! It has a 5.5kg drum which is average and will surfice for a family of 4 or 5 but I know if my mum had a drum this size that she would wash 2 or even 3 times a day! So the bills go up :( But for me thats the most disappointing thing- its the 1100rpm drum speed, this is simply not very good! I would not recommend a washer under 1400 (this is infact the perfect amount as more has ...
...drum isnt going to wash your clothes to a very high standard but I suppose if your paying £165 for it you shouldnt expect too much! Find it at Dixons for £165: http://www.dixons.co.uk/product.php?sku=135878&camp_id=froogle So me of the main features are; Energy atings - A Energy A Wash C Spin Wash controls - Variable temperature (but no variable spin) 40 degree wash time - 95 minutes (average time) Dimensions - H:850mm W:595mm D:580mm it comes ...

Review of Indesit WIB111/WIA111

I’ve had this for 3 weeks now, an d overall I am happy with it. The advantage include; firstly it has a separate dial for selecting the temperature so I your clothes are dirty / stinking you can put it on at a slightly hotter temperature or if your concerned about the environment or more importantly your electricity bill you can select a 30degrees. You can then select the wash cycle separately, I find this a particularly positive option. It has ...
...be fair most washing machines have the same range of cycles. Noise wise its not the quietest slightly louder than my last one, but still its bearable, I have a kitchen just of the sitting room and do need to turn up my tv significantly when its on but again I had to do this with my last machine. I find the drum is quite large in this machine therefore I can wash more clothes at once – this is a major benefit! The only problem I have is the dry ...

Review of Indesit WIB111/WIA111

This is the first washing machine that I have purchased from new. I normally rent properties, but this time there were no white goods, so I had to go out and buy them myself. The installation of the machine was easy, and took no time at all. One cold water feed is all that is required. The installation instructions are very easy to follow. The instruction manual is very easy to follow, although to be honest I did not read it, as the machine is ...
...explains thigs well enough. The daily wash program is useful, as is the quick wash which is available. Having a crease/rinse hold option is useful for some of my girlfriends garments. This is a basic washing machine with all the functionality you will require. Why pay extra for fancy wash programs and digital displays? Stay basic, as it has fewer opportunities to develop a fault. ...

Review of Indesit WIB111/WIA111

I got mine about 7 months ago off Ebay, my old washing mashine conked out, i had bought it from the market at about £80, and it only lasted 6 months, so decided to buy something a little more longstanding. I did a search on ebay and a couple were moving out of their house and had it on auction. I bidd £100 and won. When i picked it up i was very pleased, i got it home and it has been fine ever since, it does arelly good wash, the drum is a little ...
...easy to use and looks the part. I would definately recomend this product. after some criticism of this review i will add a bit more....i meant drying as the clothes dont come out dripping wet, they are fairly dry which i think is always good as you spend less time waiting for them to dry. Also I put the wash on number 9 which takes 20 mins normally on 40 degrees. when i put it on 3 or 4 (60 degrees it wil take about 40 mins. Hope this helps and confuses ...
