Two faulty machines in a row

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: faulty, could not use

I bought this model from Argos Direct on 15.11.09. First machine broke down in the middle of its first cycle leaving the clothes soaked in soapy water, ruining the whole wash. It did not heat the water (it uses only cold fill), stopped responding to buttons after I tried to change the broken program to rinse or spin in attempt to save the wash. The replacement one was delivered two weeks later and did not even bother to react to pressing its buttons ...

Review of Hotpoint AQLF9F49

Eco Beko

Advantages: Economical with a good selection of programmes
Disadvantages: Only 5kg maximum load

...old washing machine with a Beko and wow what a difference. Not only is the machine more compact it is also A+ energy efficient. My old machine was noisy, time consuming and temperamental towards the end which is why I am so pleased with the efficiency and quality of this product. I ordered the Beko WM5140W from Pixmania for only £179 and after it was efficiently and professional unpacked and installed by the delivery team I was eager to start clearing ...
...days. Having read the instructions which I found to be very easily laid out and structured to be user friendly I duly followed the instructions for “First Use”.
