Indesit washing machine

Advantages: Good spin speed
Disadvantages: Boil wash too long

...I bought an Indesit washing machine over 8 years ago. I thought it was an excellent product. I used it 2 sometimes 3 times a day almost every day and never ever had any problems with it at all. It had a very good spin speed on it, which spun the clothes to almost dry. Unfortunately, about 6 weeks ago it just died on me. AAArrgggh! The engineer was called and came out very promptly, but to get it fixed was going to cost too much. So off I go in search of a new washing machine. I arrived at my local electrical store and low and behold there was an Indesit washing machine, on the Managers special offer! I paid £185 for my new Indesit, which I think is a very good price. The Indesit WG1432 has 16 programs, it has a half load button if you only have a few items to wash. You can reduce the spin speed from 1400rpm to just 600rpm. This...

The Indesit SIXL145S: Once in a Blue Moon

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

...When the old family washing machine finally packed up after a good 9 year run (R.I.P) it was time to time to turn our attention towards getting a new machine to live up to the old one's speeds, reliability and general performance. It was quite a few months ago now that we were flicking through an old Argos catalogue looking for a new machine. The criteria that had to be met were: 1) High speeds for those stubborn stains 2) A good energy rating, so I feel like i'm doing my bit. 3) A good price 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...

...Google washing machine faults & mostly for new Moon!.Cust Serv awful & when called again today & spoke to Mgr about my complaint (slimey residue & white and dark fibres covering clothes) advised detergent issue & if this was the case, Indesit not liable ... I replied "thats funny! ... it was your engineer who advised me on Wednesday that he, along with Senior Managers of Indesit meet with the manufacturer of all washing machine detergents (Procter and Gamble) and Indesit washing machines are built around the washing detergent ... and so could you please explain that to me!!!

Indesit WD12 Washer/dryer - Great machine!

Advantages: Easy to use and maintain.
Disadvantages: None

...When I moved into my house about 3 years ago, I inherited a manky old Hoover washing machine. It was truly horrible but it did it's job and I couldn't affford to buy a new one. I got about a years worth of use out of it and was pleased when it decided to stop working, even though it meant me forking out for a new machine! Now, because my house is tiny I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a washer/dryer; I was fed up with clothes hanging around on airers around the house. People warned me against buying one mainly because of problems they had had with theirs. Anyway, my mind was made up and I'm very glad about it. Now, about the machine: Dimensions - Width: 595mm Height: 850mm Depth: 535mm Capacity - For the washer: from 1 - 5.5kgs For the dryer: from 1...

Review of Indesit WD 12 X

My recent purchase of Indesit WIDL126 Washer/dryer

Advantages: Delayed timer, varied dryer options ....many more
Disadvantages: Makes a strange ticking noise from time to time

...I recently became a homeowner so I have had to spend lots of money on furnishing my house. As I am a first time buyer I had to start from scratch. My kitchen is a good size which is possibly the reason why we bought the house, although saying this we didnt want to buy both a washing machine AND a dryer. For this reason we decided to go for the washer/dryer combination. Before we bought the appliance I heard many contrasting things about buying a washer/dryer. Some people said that they are worth the buy as it takes up less space in the house and works out cheaper as you are not buying two appliances. On the other hand I heard peope say that washer/dryer combinations can be more tempermental and if one of the options (washer or dryer) breaks down then you lose both of them. Anyway, after all this we did decide to buy...

Indesit Baan 12s fridge freezer

Advantages: Very good price, attractive frost free fridge freezer
Disadvantages: Rust appeared quickly, broke down after 3 years

...I bought the Indesit frost free freezer after moving house, the price was very reasonable at £229.00. The capacity of the fridge freezer is good it's fine for a family of three and my sister also has one and does okay with a family of five. The applicance is very quiet and aesthetically pleasing. There are 3 glass shelves plus 2 salad boxes which are pretty deep. There are also 3 freezer boxes with a fast freeze plus ice cube trays built into them which I must admit I hardly used. The fridge freezer was frost free and I've only had to defrost it myself once in three years which is good going, the fridge always worked very well and kept food nice and fresh, it was also very easy to keep clean. The downside was rust appeared on the inner seals pretty quickly probably within the first year. The door also dents very easily...

Review of Indesit BAAN 12

Indesit WIDL 126 S washer/dryer

Advantages: Cheap, looks good, combined washer/dryer
Disadvantages: VERY noisy when spinning

...This is the second machine I have bought, the other we left in our old house for our tenants. We bought it because A: we wanted a silver machine B: we wanted a washer dryer and C: it was cheap. The machine looks good and is very functional. It has special sports/shoe washes etc but I have never used them. There is a short everyday wash but I use the standard cotton wash at 40 degrees which takes about an hour. The dryer takes a long time but I have nothing to compare it too but it does the job when necessary. Now the big downside is that when is spins is sounds like it is about to take off and is very noisy so not ideal if you have guests or are trying to watch tv unless you have a utility room miles away. For the price I think it is a great product and so far so good....

Review of Indesit WIDL 126 S

Indesit Omega 1200 and Hoover Service Centre

Advantages: You get to meet lots of engineers
Disadvantages: Unreliable, poor performance, costly.

...day in the back of our MPV. Basically he had to take potluck and was grateful for what we could have. He plumbed in our Indesit washer dryer and I was up and running with the dirty laundry that night. Pheewwww! Basically as beggars couldn?t be choosers, I was just grateful for anything that washed my clothes. At first it didn?t bother me that even using the same amount of wash powder as in my previous machine, the stains were still present. I would have to do the washing twice and sometimes add Vanish. Something I never did before. The WD91295 Omega machine wouldn?t spin the water out. I would have to add an extra spin after every wash. The only wash that didn?t need extra spinning was a 60-degree wash, not very practical when you are washing woollens. The tumble drier would make my clothes smell of metal even though I...

Review of Indesit

Indesit

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Its Broken

...After 18 months my WD12X Indesit washing machine gave up the ghost, a repairman came, took one look at it, and said, it's an Indesit, they're always going wrong, it's not worth repairing. Searching on the web rapidly confirmed that indeed Indesit washing machines are always going wrong. To add insult to injury, my Indesit cooker (also 18 months old) went wrong the same week, which cost £60 to repair, and my Indesit diswasher is giving me cause for concern too. Indesit offered the usual fob off excuses you would expect, and in short showed no concern for the fact their machines break down so shortly after the guarantee expires. My advice, avoid Indesit like the bubonic plague, their machines are a waste of money....

Indesit WE16 Evolution washing machine

Advantages: simplicity, reliability
Disadvantages: A rated program could take a little less time

...had this machine 6 years now, used at least once maybe twice a week never had any problems with it, excellent wash results and with a 1600 spin clothes are only just damp. We find this machine extremely easy to use, the program selections are clearly displayed on the detergent drawer front, and the dial selector for the digital information is simple to use. Minor adjustments to each washing cycle can be made by altering the information on the display prior to the wash starting. a really useful function is the 'time remaining' display during each program. i suppose if i really had to make a negative comment it would be that the a rated program is lengthy at approximately 2.5 hrs. i really do not understand why there are so many complaints about it???? We also have the matching dishwasher too - again faultless. We look after ours!!...
