That sure brings back memories. Thanks for posting ! My very first (own) washer was an Indesit W1020. It was looking almost identically but had only 3 pushbuttons and free temperature control. It was an amazing 5,5 kg capacity and it was the loudest machine I ever heard. The belt was very loose and I could hear a squeaking noise at the start of every turn of the drum. Filling with water took an eternity and the rubber boot became sticky after just a few months of use. But I liked the rinse level and when it kicked staight into distribution spin with all the water. Finally after two years I sold it and bought a decent AEG, which were still great machines in 1990. |

I've used one on holiday at Paston but it had a filter flap on bottom left and spun only 820 max, but water always came down the glass when it spun and it sounded great. |

Thanks for your posts. From what I remember of these machines, they had nice large drums and could wash quite large loads. They were very easy to use and were quite cheap to buy. I do remember them being noisy with a particularly screechy motor but they also were more stable than other makes. I don't think they generally lasted all that well and would get noisier with age.
