Indesit WIXL 143

Advantages: Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Takes a long time.

...I own this washing machine and i have had it for quite a while,in my opinion i think its a bargain and we have only had a few problems with it, as it has gotten older it's deciding not to drain at the end of a wash so we have to now do it manually. Another problem which is completely my fault is the handle to open it, it has a safety feature which i didnt know about, the washing machine door won't open for about a minite after the wash cycle has finished and i pulled the handle off, i have written this as a warning as it cost us £40 for a new handle. Also it takes quite a long time but if you want sparkling clothes it shouldnt matter but if your in a hurry theres a quick wash option. It it very easy to use and there are different wash cycles to select and different temperstures, i would definately reccomend this products - hope this...

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 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...

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...

Review of Indesit WIA121

Is It A Washing Machine Or Is It A Helicopter?

Advantages: Easy to use, with very good washing results.
Disadvantages: Two machines supplied and both with faults.

...Let me start by saying that I've had Indesit washing machines for some time, and have been very happy with them. When my previous machine started going wrong after several years of faithful service, I had no hesitation in buying another Indesit, and this time we chose the WIXL126. It arrived from Argos and looked good, and the manual was clear and easy to follow. However, after I'd spent time installing the machine, the wife was just about to do the first wash and noticed a tear in the rubber seal around the door (aren't these things supposed to be quality checked?). Argos were very good about it, and within two days a replacement arrived. This time, the seal and everything else looked perfect, so we started to wash the backlog of dirty clothes. It started off well on the wash cycle, but then it moved on to rinse, followed by spin...

Review of Indesit WIXL126 White

Indesit - Great machine, great value

Advantages: Clean, effiicient, quiet, price
Disadvantages: Can't seem to get the drawer out to clean

...(I hope I'm not going to jinx my washing machine by using that title! haha) Having recently moved into our first home my partner and myself had to shop around for the cheapest and best value for money appliances that we could afford. We found this washing machine in Argos for the bargin of £199.99. I'd never actually heard of the make before but my partner had and so we decided to go for it. (plus it looked pretty and shiny hehe) It arrived well packaged, in fact so well packed that it took a while to get out of the box! But anyways, onwards and upwards, the instruction manual was fairly easy to use, mostly pictures to show you how to set it up which I find is better than having a thick booklet which is actually two thirds different languages and you still don't end up having a clue what to do! I left my partner to install...

Review of Indesit WIXL126 White

No dirty washing to hang out

Advantages: Lots of energy saving features for your money
Disadvantages: None

...We bought this washing machine four weeks ago so I have had enough dirty washing go through the programmes to give you some realistic feedback. Firstly the machine has good energy ratings which is now a seriously important feature to think about when you buy an electric appliance. We discovered that not all machines within this price rance give such high energy efficiency so this is definately a plus point. The machine has a simple, easy to read programme face. The simpleness of the clock type programming dial and push button extra feature mechanism means that it is quick and easy to come to grips with initially and then to tailor the wash features to your specific needs. If you have arthritic hands or difficulty manipulating heavy or intricate knobs and buttons this machine is worth a look at because the dials turn easily and the you...

No more stinky poo poo

Advantages: washes & dries efficiently, reasobaly priced, no breakdowns, range of programmes
Disadvantages: price varys depending upon location and retailer quite drastically

...dancing appliance that does exactly what it is suppose to do with minimal fuss, no breakdowns and best of all, without pumping out enough vibrations to knock pictures off the wall. Every washer/dryer has pre-set programmes nowadays and the WIXL 143s is not different with 16 to cover nearly every possible washing scenario. These include a quick wash that takes a mere 30 minutes to complete making it really handy if you remember you need a shirt for work at 3 in the morning, wollen wash, cotton, easy iron, delicates, and a freshen up cycle. The freshen up cycle is by far the most useful of these programmes and will come as a revelation to those who wear city shirts that normally come out the washing machine looking like they will (and usually are) impossible to iron. Using this programme seems to wash the clothes more gently meaning that...

Cleans, freshens and maintains your washer

Advantages: Easy to use, very effective
Disadvantages: Takes around 2 ½ hours. Stainless steel drums only.

..."Dr. Beckmann Service-it" is a liquid washing machine cleaner that claims to "clean, freshen and maintain against breakdowns and malfunctions". The makers recommend that it be used every 3 months (or 40 washes) in order to rid your washing machine drum, pipes, seals, etc. of any build-up of detergent residue and grime. Also, by cleaning, to dispel any odours, and maintain efficiency by eliminating any build-up of limescale on the heating elements. The product is to be found in the 'laundry aides' section in many supermarkets, and can be purchased direct from the manufacturer's online shop at www.acdomart.co.uk. ~ My reason for using ~ I am keen to reduce my carbon footprint and have switched most of my wash loads to 30 or 40 degrees. However, when I recently used a 60 degree cycle (with high spin speed) I was surprised...

Review of Dr. Beckmann Service-it Washing Machine Cleaner

Washing machine of the future

Advantages: AAA - Performance
Disadvantages: None so far

...able to see the appliance and look over the style too. We found that our local curry's store had the best selection of washing machines and not only that there information relating to the product was easy to understand. **So why this particular model** Indesit is not a name that I am that familiar with however we decided on them due to the fact the machine was AAA rated, 1600rpm spin speed, white in colour, it was the standard dimensions and the most important reason it was within our budget. **Cost and Availability** We bought us from Curry's for £259.95 which at the time was the cheapest price available, me being a cheap skate I asked them to get it delivered in to store and I would collect it in my car as it would save me a further £4.95 in delivery. As I do this review you can get the washing machine from...
