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. ... Read review

Advantages: Washing was ok when the machine worked
Disadvantages: Unreliable, uneconomic to repair, drying function is poor

...warranty. As its electronics only Hotpoint can repair it. They want to charge £160 to repair with a 1 year warranty. A quick look on the internet and talking to some independent repairmen shows that this is a very unreliable model. So who knows how long it would last after that year! I have decided to bin it and get a Bosch washing machine instead as the dryer function was useless anyway! ... Read review

Advantages: Reliable repair people
Disadvantages: You might need them sooner than you think

Sorry Mr Hoover but I have really nothing good to say about this washer/dryer. We bought ours in December because it sounded like it could handle large loads and we thought our tumble dryer would be the next appliance to go so it seemed sensible to get a washer/dryer at the time. Other half was not impressed by the drying function which she said creased the clothes too much so we went back to using our old condenser dryer instead. About three ...
...we had to turn it off at the socket. Inside our load of towels were covered in small bits of plastic but we couldn't see where they came from. There was also a large inward facing dent in the drum. Well we called out a repair bod and to be honest it was quite quick as we called on the tuesday and he arrived on the friday. However on examining the machine he said he had never seen one develop this fault before. He said a clamp which holds the heating ... Read review

During the whole time I have had this machine, it has never broken down, needed new parts or leaked in any way. However, the time has come to ...

Advantages: Ease of use
Disadvantages: Not very thorough

...I have always though Indesit was quite a good brand name, and haven't had any problems with any of their appliances before. The machine has a good programme list, looks smart, and is of a decent size. It's pretty easy to use, with three dials rather than the multitude of buttons and digital screens that some of them seem to have at the moment. However, since using it, I have been left very unimpressed. It has a reasonable drum size, but when you ...
...middle don't even seem to get wet! Some of them, when dry, seem almost crispy, as if the washing powder hasn't been rinsed out. When using the 50 degree or 90 degree washes, it carries on washing constantly until you manually switch it off, drain and spin it. The first time this happened, I was obviously not expecting it, went out for the day, and came home 14 hours later with the washing machine still going! I think this may put a bit of a dent ...
