Poor quality/poor service

Advantages: Looks nice
Disadvantages: Machine doesn't work, Service very poor

...regularly flooded the room. Baumatic have agreed that the pump is faulty and have sent us a new one in the post. Unfortunately, although we have been given two times for the engineer to come and fit it, on both occasions, on the morning in question, after the time of the appointment, Baumatic has called to say the engineer is sick, and can't come! This washing machine has been the household item from Hell, as has the company. ...

A very good machine

Advantages: Very quiet, economical and good spin
Disadvantages: Constantly powered on

I recently purchased this washing machine due to my old integrated washing machine being faulty and not worth repairing. My first impressions were that the item was reasonably priced compared to other machines. This did make me wonder originally how good it would be but I decided that I could have it delivered and installed quickly therefore this was more important. To be honest the machine itself is not much to look at compared to other machines ...
...the cupboard door covers up the basic look of the machine. I have now had the machine a few weeks and have probably only done 10 washes as I am not a high user but I am extremely pleased with the purchase. When you select the required program the digital display shows you what the cycle will be, ie the spin speed, and also how long the wash will take. Not rocket science but I think it's a nice touch. The display itself is very clear and easy to ...

form over function

Advantages: great looks, good spin speed, simple controls
Disadvantages: poor service and spare availability

...net I came across this baumatic mega6. It appeared to fulfill all my criteria - It was within my price range (you could get hefty discounts online) - Designed to appeal to hopeless design addicts like myself - Had a fast spin speed - Simple operation - A grade energy efficiency - 5 year parts warranty (1 year labour) I did some research on the net to try and find out more about the company. There was precious little information but they seemed ...
...What arrived: The Baumatic was ordered online through yahoo but I found out that it was not possible to deliver and due to various other complications I cancelled the order. In the end I managed to buy the Liebherr fridge (see review in fridges section) and the baumatic from a small reseller in London. They offered free delivery and a price very competitive with those I had found online, significantly cheaper than the list price. The goods were ...

Disappointing

Advantages: Cheaper than other stainless steel models
Disadvantages: Very noisy spinner

...totally controlled with buttons, the Baumatic combines buttons with dials. Unless the washing dial is set precisely -and this is not as easy as it sounds - the machine won't work. Another annoyance is always having to remember to depress the half-load button for the drying cycle. During the drying cycle the machine makes funny grinding noises for no apparent reason. The word that comes to mind is 'clunky'. I would expect a more sophisticated mechanism ...
...is temperamental and there is no audible click when it is ready. Please note that the review process insisted I rate the machine's durability and safety. I have no idea how durable it will prove to be. Similarly, I have no idea how 'safe' it is. Since there was no option to omit these grades, I included arbitrary ones. ...

Not a happy washer!

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Very noisy,vibrates wildly!

I purchased this machine aproximately 3 years ago as part of a fitted kitchen package-I would definately not choose this brand of washing machine again if I had a choice. From the very beginning I have had numerous problems which have resulted in the engineer coming to look at my machine more times than I care to imagine! Problems such as blocked filter occur frequently but I have mastered the art of unblocking the machine myself. The biggest ...
...vibration of the machine.I have never been able to use the maximum spin speed (1000)but have to use the lowest option which is 650-the reason being that the machine moves so violently that it often ends up halfway accross my kitchen floor.The noise from the machine is tremendous and scares the kids!! Overall the quality of the wash is fine-plenty of programmes to choose from but no half-load option which is a bit of a let down for me. I cannot ...
