Tricity Bendix

Advantages: Inexpensive, efficient model
Disadvantages: none

I watched the sad demise of our last washer dryer after having served us for a less than 2 years… least said soonest mended. So began a frantic search for an immediate replacement and armed with the words from Himself "just get one which washes, we don't need the all singing all dancing model", I bought this model. At a cost of £199 with only £5 delivery charge (same day), this was too good an opportunity to miss, and meant that I wouldn't have ...
...**The Model ** The machine itself is white automatic front loading with a large porthole window and a door which opens out to the left using a pull back hinge. The detergent and fabric conditioner drawer is located in the top left hand corner as it is on most other automatic washing machines., and in the bottom right hand corner is the drain pump. The programme selector dial is a clockwise turn manual dial, and not digital programming, which I ...

The environmentally friendly sock eater!!!!

Advantages: Environmentally friendly, Reliable,
Disadvantages: eats socks!!!

...showed them this one. The Tricity Bendix AW1400. The woman in the shop showed them the economy features and they decided that this one would be best for me. At the time it cost them £189.00 but I have recently looked them up on the Internet and they can be as dear as £219.00. Curry's delivered my new machine within the next week, and to say that I was relived that I didn't have to traipsed round to my mums with bin bags of washing again was an understatement. ...
...off the panel at the back with a spanner type key that comes with it and slide out two plastic pins. You then have to lay the machine on its back to take off the polystyrene block from the bottom. You then have to take two plastic bags out. What all this is for I don't know. The good thing about this machine is that it does not use hot water. It has a heating element like a shower, which heats the cold water up as you use it. Which is what makes ...

Review of Tricity Bendix AW1201

Simple, good value, but slow, with poor rinsing.

Advantages: Good value, really simple and straight forward to use, washes well.
Disadvantages: The quick wash is really long, the rinsing leaves a lot to be desired.

This is a great machine for the price, as long as you are not someone who likes a lot of different features, and don't mind a "quick" wash that takes the best part of 2hrs. The machine is very easy to use, has given a consistently good wash, and is fairly quiet. Unfortunately as someone with very sensitive skin, I have been really let down by the inefficient rinsing. Quite often I have found traces of washing powder left on darker clothing, and as ...
...a bit of an issue. However I have found that this is less of a problem when using liquid tabs instead, although these are more expensive. If this is not a problem for you then great, for those of you with skin sensitivity, this machine is probably best avoided. ...

Review of Tricity Bendix AW1260W

economic washing machine

Advantages: Very cheap to buy, yet a very high quality washing machine
Disadvantages: drum is quite small

I bought this washing machine just over a year ago now and I have not had any problems what so ever with the machine. It has quite a few different programmes on it, the machine is good looking and simple to use. The machines advance eco shower system works very well to give clothes an excellent wash, but at the same time the machine saves on water so this machine is very economical. This washing machine was priced under £200 when I purchased it, ...
