The Indesit SIXL145S: Once in a Blue Moon

Advantages: Great machine!
Disadvantages: If used improperly may leave you're kitchen floor covered in detergent

...We finally decided on the Indesit SIXL 145S because it pretty much met all the above criteria though we did have to get over the opaque door which although seeming very small it was a weird notion not to be able to see the washing at all until the cycle finished. As previously stated we bought it from the Argos catalogue which is the general done thing in my house for some reason. We got free delivery and a very kind man installed it for us for no ...
...I do love the new Indesit and might even goes as far as to say it's even better than the old Hotpoint washer, like a prettier, younger more virile model. The machine has a multitude of great little features including: * Automatic washing temperature regulation. * A Load Balancing System * Rinse Management controlled by sensors which extends the rinse cycle until there is no detergent left. Before you rush out and buy you should note that if you ...

Cheap and cheerful

Advantages: ummm.... Its cheap!
Disadvantages: Slow speed ... its energy ratings!

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&campid=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 ...

A good brand gone bad

Advantages: Large capacity
Disadvantages: Poor customer service

We have had Whirlpool machines for 20 years or so because they are fast and have a good capacity. We have had this machine for 18 months. There are just two of using it and the tub bearing failed. Whirlpool want £662 to repair it or provide a new one for £595. We paid that amount for the original one. After some correspondence with Whirlpool they said they would not offer any recompense for the failure even when advised how little use it had had. ...

beko washer, the good & not so good.

Advantages: Good value machine, washes well on every programe
Disadvantages: Quick wash cycle takes ages!

...going to happen again. This Beko model was the cheapest one recommended on comparison web sites. Well I have to say I am chuffed to bits with it. It does exactly "what it says on the tin", lovely clean clothes on all programs, even the delicate wash. It is a very quiet machine, with easy to follow controls. My only little gripe with it is that Beko's idea of a quick wash programe is a bit wide of the mark to mine! Apart from that I am very happy ...

The pits

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: Length of time for wash, Poor wash, Leaking, over-sensitive balance

I bought this machine about 6 months ago as a fairly basic work horse machine. It is cold fill and supposed to be green & economical to run - huh! Firstly it takes 2.5 hours for a full cotton wash and I would question how 2.5 hours electricity saves much over heating the water a bit more. I don't have that time to wait for a wash to finish - so what economy? Quickwash is just a swill round - nothing more. The balance mechanism is so delicate that ...
...still dripping - more waste of power and time. On several occasions it has leaked water when taking in either through the soap drawer or today - the door! I like to hang washing outside when possible but half the day has gone before the wash has finished. I did have a fault soon after purchasing and I must say that was cheerfully and speedily fixed. This is the only good thing I have to say. The rest has been anger, irritation, aggravation and ...
