Whirlpool AWOD4505

Advantages: Queit, very good spin, good wash and overall excellent value!
Disadvantages: Can't really find one.

...eventually relented and bought this Whirlpool as a direct replacement, costing £185-00 on offer from Co-op direct. I've immediately taken out the *8* year (yes, eight year) warranty for parts for just £25-00! Okay you still would have to pay for labour, but its pretty impressive to find a budget machine with such good warranty on its parts.

Disadvantages: HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT IS TOO CRITICAL FOR MODERN KITCHENS

...the Cheaper End of the Whirlpool Market.usually around £250 Maximum. No loss of quality and useful functions make this washer an ideal Workable Machine.Used once a day I Did experience a Good Eighteen Months Trouble Free Service Life . Though the single item spin feature Did tend to throw the whole System a little out of Balance and in my Opinion Did reduce the Working Life of the Drum Bearings.These were changed after around 14 months at a cost ...
...out at date of purchase. WE DO NOT Recomend That You Purchase a Recondition Unit of AWOD4505, As Spares do seem Rather EXpensive. Check your Available Space height very Carefully as my Worktop ht. Was the Same as the Washing Machine,with only just enough adjustment on units adjustable feet WE Rate the AWOD4505 AS AN EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY PRODUCT AND SHOULD GIVE AN AVERAGE LIFE OF APPROX 2 YEARS AND WOULD RATE IT WITH 4 OUT OF 5 STARS BUY IT ...
