Advantages: Reliable, quiet, plenty of settings Disadvantages: Very heavy, dryer produces clothes too hot to touch
...We purchased this Indesit washer/dryer just over 2 years ago. Apart from one sole occasion, it has functioned very well. The purpose of this op is to describe this machine so that you could make a decision whether to purchase it or not? I wish our Karen would wash my clothes as her clothes are always clean and nicely ironed.
CHOOSING A NEW WASHING MACHINE
Our Hotpoint washing machine was coming to the end of its life after being used for 20 years. ... ...wanted to order the new Indesit washing machine from the catalogue. As ever, my wife got her way.
INSTALLATION WOES
My wife phoned Freemans enquiring about the Indesit. Freemans told her that our Hotpoint would be disconnected, the Indesit connected and the Hotpoint taken away. It seemed a good deal at the time but the truth was very different. Freemans arrived with the Indesit at 9 am. But they would not disconnect the Hotpoint. The reason given ...

Advantages: Loads more functions than my previous machine, very reasonably priced. Disadvantages: Loads more functions than my previous machine - I'm confused, only comes in white.
...Machine not draining......
Indesit Customer service telephone number merely gives recorded message which after I've chosen the relevant options then tells me "I'm sorry we can't take your call try our website" and cuts off.
Website takes me to a Hotpoint service site and when I try and book a service appointment it tells me - "Sorry according to our records you need to contact Comet." Now quite cross, will keep you posted on progress! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
... ...services and an engineer called today. Apparently something had gone through the pump, most likely an item left in a pocket or some such. Anyway, machine fine - no charge for call out and all right with the world once more.
Top tip - empty pockets before putting clothes in laundry basket - D'oh! ...

Advantages: economical purchase with great performance, also some smart quick wash cycles. Disadvantages: slightly longer wash & dry cycles
...brand names & this little Indesit nearly half the price of a big brand name, has impressed me! It has coped with our family of five's filthy washing & desperately needed dry clothes admirably. For heavier stained clothes the wash cycles take slightly longer than the top of the range washing machines I'm used to, & the drying times are also a bit longer too. But that's all I can moan about! Oh, the knobs & the instructions did require some concentration ... ...the idea of having a seperate knob to set the temperature, & the numbered washes are self-explanatary printed on the face of the machine. The instruction booklet had loads of information in. It also lights up at different parts of the cycle to let you know what it's doing, wash, rinse, spin etc..which I find useful. There's some great little quick wash programmes called "time 4 u" & a sports wear programme, & training shoes wash. I love these!
It's ...

Advantages: Great when it's working Disadvantages: Doesn't work a lot, Poor cust service
...I'd previously owned an Indesit machine, the one down from this model, without the dryer. I was very happy and had never had a problem with it and so for me, to go for a upgraded model was an easy choice, especially as it was cheaper than a lot of the other washer dryers on the market.
It offers users several wash cycles, easy iron, less spin and extra rinse setting for washing and for drying it offers you a choice of minutes (40-150) to dry your ... ...up on the given day, Indesit had a record of a request but no completion of request, again we were offered another 3 week wait but my fiancee kicked up such a stink that they gave us an appointment within 5 days, specifying the times to a 3 hour slot.
When the engieer came he looked at the machine and told us it needed a new part but he didn't carry them on the van, therefore it would have to be ordered and this would take 5 days. I enquired as ...

Advantages: Its quiet. Easy to use. Versatile. Disadvantages: Takes a bit of getting used to functions. Door gets hot when drying.
...When I found the Indesit WIDL 102 I was pleased to see it in the same price range as my old machine. I paid £279.00 including £20.00 off in the January sales for my new washer dryer.
After my hubby had installed it there was definately a wow factor involved. It does so much more than my old Servis and has many more functions I am still trying them out a week later.
The first thing I noticed was - where's the water! It uses far less than any other ... ...on the drying cycle, the Indesit is virtually silent. If i shut the kitchen door I cannot hear it at all.
Another great benefit, when the washing cycle is complete the dryer comes on automatically. My old machine didn't do this so if I put on a wash before I went out to work, I came home to wet washing waiting for me to push in a half load button before setting the analogue dryer timer. The Indesit has a digital timer so i don't have to turn the ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: None that I can think of
Very good machine, have had it for three months now and has worked perfectly.
Bought after a hand me down machine broke a month after we moved into our first house. Plumped for the washer/dryer as we don't have room for 2 machines and it was swiftly delivered by Comet.
Connected up easily (all machines only have a cold feed now if you haven't bought one in a while) and followed the instructions to get it going.
Instructions are very clear and ... ...need.
The only bad point i've found is that the start button is very close and very similar to the power button, so on a couple of occassions we've started the program again instead of turning the machine off.
All in all, it washes and dries so does exactly as it says on the tin. ...

Advantages: its white Disadvantages: too many to mention
What a complete waste of space, one of the biggest shopping errors that i have ever comitted. cheap and cheerful and rubbish. it is not easy to use, and takes some fine tuning and experimenting to use, user manual a waste of time. then when you do finally work out what buttons to use with what, it half heartedly washes your clothes, no sparkling whites from this machine. Then we move on to the dreaded dry function, which works wonderfully if you ... ...it a load and can take up to three attempts, not good for your purse or the enviroment. so overall it is rubbish, we are replacing very soon, this noisy non functional washer, and i will take it to the local tip as i wouldn't give it to my worse enemy. ...
