Ive had an entry level 7kg model for a year and its been fine, the only problem I had turned out to be caused by a power surge. Sorry to hear you've had problems with yours :( Tom |

NO.
I think enough is enough with this machine. If the repair next time does not result in it doing as it should you are well within your rights to demand a brand new replacement machine direct from samsung. Any excuses they give you point them to the Sale of Goods Act and mention that "Goods must be fit for intended purpose and be fault free for a reasonable period of time" If faults persist and reasonable action was taken to repair the fault but didnt cure the problem then you ARE indeed ENTITLED to be given a brand new machine direct from Samsung. I think a 5th engineer visit is reasonable action taken and you ought to be demanding they send a new machine out. Stand your ground and be firm, Trading standards can be consulted and they may help you. They will also be able step in and deal with Samsung. |

I've got the Whirlpool Series 8 Top Loader. Almost identical to the one in the link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO liamy1's LINK |

Actually, it is that identical washer. I love it. The full, heavy duty, super plus water, extra rinse wash cycle takes 45 minutes. Not hours like the last one. |

I'm quite lucky, I got a fair stash of US non HE(and some HE) Tide, Cheer and a bit of Gain detergent. I agree with your Aunt - I love mine too. |

US and UK T/L have always been rated badly for energy efficiency and wash performance. Hotpoint's last generation of T/L were rated G for energy efficiency and F for wash performance, having used one I thought they washed very well.
I think the US T/L are rated so bady as they possibly use the "normal" cycle and not "Heavy Duty". Also you have to factor what detergent they use, if you are using a normal dose of european detergent designed for F/L's of course you will get poor results. A 100ml dose designed to work in 10 to 15L of wash water in a F/L will not give good results used in 70L of wash water in a US T/L. I do have a fondness for US T/L washers but practically they would not work for me. I would miss the ability to wash above tap hot water. |

Agree Paulc about the tap hot water, I wish I could heat the water more. So next shopping trip will have to get some thin chorine bleach (our closest to Clorox?) |

I'm always dubious about anything written in the daily mail! Scaremongering to the extreme. I agree the article makes some valid points however I have yet to hear of anyone becoming ill from bacteria on domestic laundry. The cold v's warm/hot debate has been done to death on here and really doesn't need to be discussed further. What I would say is the shear amount of hot water in your new washer plus quality detergent plus mechanical action is more than enough to get your clothes clean.
One thing I would not do though is put UK washing powder on dry clothes before your machine fills as you run the risk of "bleach" marks if using a non colour format. I think using chlorine bleach may not be so effective if you have used a detergent with oxy bleach as the two tend to cancel each other out, however if you are still working through your stash of US detergent I'd say a thin bleach would work very well, plus it's super cheap. |
