Try not to WIDL yourself.

Advantages: Clean clothes
Disadvantages: Buttons everywhere, no digital display

...about washing machines while cleaning the floor all at the same time. Needless to say it got me out of doing my own washing till I was about 17. Then I moved out. Bugger. Now I'm a lot kinder to the machines, mainly due to the fact I have to pay if I Eff it up. The wittily named Indesit Widl 126 s (get it? No, me neither) other than sounding like a manoeuvre used in potty training, is apparently quite cheap coming in at around £250- £300. Having never bought one, I wouldn't know. My landlord threw this one at me after the ancient device he had lumbered us with previously packed in. After I kicked it a few times. Oops. He does, however, guarantee me it was the best deal on the market. He proceeded to talk to me about it for weeks as if it were his darling child or a crowning achievement. Since I'm now writing a review of it, I...

Review of Indesit WIDL 126 S

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...

Review of Indesit WIDL 126 S

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

Spun out over the Indesit WIDL 102

Advantages: Its quiet. Easy to use. Versatile.
Disadvantages: Takes a bit of getting used to functions. Door gets hot when drying.

...My old Servis washer dryer finally bit the dust after 7 years and isn't it typical just after christmas when money is tight. So I went out in search of a replacement. Main buying criteria - price. When I found the Indesit WIDL 102 I was pleased to see it in the same price range as my old machine. I paid £279.00 including £20.00 off in the January sales for my new washer dryer. After my hubby had installed it there was definately a wow factor involved. It does so much more than my old Servis and has many more functions I am still trying them out a week later. The first thing I noticed was - where's the water! It uses far less than any other machine I've used and washes cleaner. The second feature that amazed me is how quiet it is. my old Servis used to 'growl' loudly on the drying cycle, the Indesit is virtually silent. If i...

Review of Indesit WIDL102

I Am Going To Wash That Girl Right Out Of My Hair!

Advantages: Reliable, quiet, plenty of settings
Disadvantages: Very heavy, dryer produces clothes too hot to touch

...WRITTEN December 2009 INTRODUCTION We purchased this Indesit washer/dryer just over 2 years ago. Apart from one sole occasion, it has functioned very well. The purpose of this op is to describe this machine so that you could make a decision whether to purchase it or not? I wish our Karen would wash my clothes as her clothes are always clean and nicely ironed. CHOOSING A NEW WASHING MACHINE Our Hotpoint washing machine was coming to the end of its life after being used for 20 years. I subscribe to 'Which' magazine which publishes the best washing machine buys twice a year. Usually the 'Which' best buy is Bosch. I also subscribe to 'Which Computing' to keep me up-to-date with the latest goings-on in the IT industry. My wife is a Freemans catalogue customer and wanted to order the new Indesit washing machine from...

Review of Indesit WIDL102

Good, Cheap Washer/Dryer for General Use

Advantages: Good Value, Modern Looks, Plenty of washing and drying options, Delay Function, Efficient
Disadvantages: A little noisy on spin and dry functions

...I've read a number of reviews on Indesit washer/dryers recently that have described reliability problems as a major downfall. However, I must say I've never experienced any problems at all. Our last washer/dryer was Indesit and lasted around 5 1/2 years before the drum decided it wouldn't turn anymore. That's not a bad lifespan really. Having just bought a new WIDL126S model, in Silver, we're only a couple of weeks in but again, no problems. Perhaps some people have just been unlucky (or maybe I've been lucky?). I guess those who experience problems are more likely to write reviews? Anyway, the main reason for purchasing was the good, modern looks of this appliance to fit in with our kitchen scheme, the standard sizing (it's not too deep and doesn't stick out inches from the worktop like some), and it's great value...

Review of Indesit WIDL 126 S

BEWARE THIS WASHING MACHINE IS AWFUL !!!!

Advantages: None!
Disadvantages: No spin only, uses very little water and does not wash clothes, leaves fibres, poor cst serv

...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!!! " I am sorry that I did not stick to Bosh or Siemens.Old Bosch lasted 12 yrs & another delivered 2dy.Selling Indesit privately 4 a fraction of what I paid for it.Simply cannot waste £ or energy fighting a losing battle.Indesit have been aware that some of their...

Review of Indesit MOON SIXL145

Indesit WIDL102

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Very good machine, have had it for three months now and has worked perfectly. Bought after a hand me down machine broke a month after we moved into our first house. Plumped for the washer/dryer as we don't have room for 2 machines and it was swiftly delivered by Comet. Connected up easily (all machines only have a cold feed now if you haven't bought one in a while) and followed the instructions to get it going. Instructions are very clear and it has all the functionality I think anyone could ever need. The only bad point i've found is that the start button is very close and very similar to the power button, so on a couple of occassions we've started the program again instead of turning the machine off. All in all, it washes and dries so does exactly as it says on the tin....

Review of Indesit WIDL102

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...

Review of Indesit

Indesit WIA 121 A Good Washing Machine!

Advantages: Good value for money, good quality, ideal for everyday family use
Disadvantages: Loud spin function

...I think that I am a pretty old fashioned type of gal. When I buy something I like to think that it will last for a life time or at the very least give father time a run for his money. I realise that white goods these day don't fall in that category but the Indesit WIA121 isn't too bad. My previous washing machine also an Indesit lasted for 7years and bearing in mind that it spent most of it washing life in Streatham an area known for very hard water I though that replacing it with the same model might be a good idea. The washing Machine business has moved on a great deal in 7 to 8 years and being a new Mum I was very much tempted to up grade to a washer dryer but I figured that it would do one job really well and the other so so or just do both jobs so so! So decided to stick with the one function and deal with the drying...
