So finally after abit of searching I found something to replace my zanussi with as the lack of extra rinse especially, aswell as a lack of progress indicators, time remaining and 30deg option. the final straw was when I got irritations from detergent which I have never had. I don't like being restricted on choices of detergent and have always washed my two sons clothes in biological detergent since they were born.
Rinsing is something i'm very particular about so I decided enough was enough. I found a current Indesit IWE7145 1400 7kg washer in ebay! It had 2 broken paddles which myself and my good friend Austin (ozzie908) replaced it with a new set of paddles which actually a little deeper as they are off an aqualtis. Having had experience with an indesit WIL163 & a Hotpoint WT960 I had hoped the spin balancing issues were still not present....they are not! It has yet to rebalance any load including towels out of the 4 i've done and watched through! It cleans superbly and is much quieter than previous models. Rinsing without extra rinse is fantastic and does 2 very deep rinses! Final spin produces very good results. It also has an electromagnetic door interlock so you can access it instantly and it also has an emergency door entry in the plith like miele! It is temporarily plumbed in the garage in our new house while our extension which includes utility is built! Pics below! Darren

Fantastic! I second what you said, rinsing is the most important thing! And with my Whirlpool machine I have to manually add a rinse (or sometimes two) to every load! That Indesit doesn't look bad at all and I'm glad it's working nicely! | ||

picture Can you take a picture with one normal, and one longer ''new paddle'' so we can see how it looks? :) | ||

Thank you for the positive comments guys. I'm very impressed with it! I will take a picture of the too drum paddles next to each other once the builders have gone lol.
Liam: Well. I haven't lost my mind. My reason for restored faith in indesit is thus. My friend has the indentical model to mine in silver. and I have stood in the kitchen many times and watched it spin every load and do the wash much quieter than my ex's mums indesit WIL163. I have always loved the programming on the indesits and the rinsing is fantastic. So this one crept up on ebay and I love the styling of the IWE7145 so I thought i'm gonna get that. I'm not disappointed. Its quieter than the zanussi too! Now I did love my zanussi but I also hated it because while it possessed many traits of old zanussi's the things that I mentioned before drove me nuts. I hated how It filled static filled right up to the door and then tumbled, soaked up the water and tumbled around half dry before refilling. If it was a small load it ended up being too deep for a good tumble! grr! I love how well the indesit saturates everything and you can see water dribbling everywhere when the drum pauses. It does everything I want so i'm pleased! I'd like the prime to but i'm in no rush now. Darren | ||

Congratulations on your new purchase :)
It looks really good, much better looking than previous TOL Indesit models! Love the big rectangular display. Have you tried the express 15 to just refresh something yet? I've always wondered it could be useful for refreshing a few items (without dirt & stains), but does it get it done in that time. Glad to hear there is no more balancing problems. All the best with the new machine, Happy Washing :) | ||

That paddle is much better Darren! Im not a fan of the modern paddles which dont go across the depth of the drum. The small paddles seem to be quite common with a lot of machines now. x | ||

Liam:
I'm glad you can agree with my frustrations and I'm not just being fussy. Your model was an independent special through euronics for example who I was a trainee manager for and sold many to people in rural Lincolnshire as I travelled for that job! The static fill is well annoying. I noticed the Indesit just now with a full load constantly refilling until everything was really wet and dripping. A proper fill! Mark: Yea the paddles are much better and really tumble the load well :-) I'm now going back to check the progress of a load of darks on synthetic 30! Darren | ||

Wow! That rinse level is like in my Mieles. It's nice to see machines using adequate water for rinsing. I hope it lasts you for a long time. | ||

15min programme.
So I tried the 15min programme with 3 white t-shirts.
The machine fills to the rim of the drum, and tumbles slow until its heated, drains does a fast spin after the wash and then 1 really deep rinse followed by an 800rpm spin. I was a little unsure about the 1 rinse but tbh if it's used how its suppost to be I guess it's okay. I won't be using it very often though. I can cope with the quick synthetic programme! Interesting to try though! Darren | ||

Cool, yeah as you've said it's not a program that'd be used a lot. It'd be quite handy for washing a few lightly soiled items. For instance today I washed one cardigan on a synthetics wash as it was new, this program (if I had it) would have been ideal :)
Will keep in mind when purchasing a new machine in the fututre haha Thanks Darren x | ||
