Looks like the woeful Indesit Drum strikes again. Perhaps I should do one to Hoover Candy! | ||

hmmmm
judging by the state of the house and the attitude demonstrated in the video it belongs to some with shihmmmph for brains.
Dare I say that I think its been abused intentionally while someone was bored and no doubt having a hissy fit. It would of had to have been full of clothes had this happened normally and there would of been fabric remains Id figure caught up in all that damage. Not to mention im sure had the machine done that they would be also ranting about clothes damage. Mu 2 pence but the video seems spoof to me and proves nothing. | ||

I thought the drum fiasco had been cured on recent models? As the video said (and is proven by the machines design) that machine is one of the current range/style. Liam | ||

Need room to get into the drum.
Hi Dave
You're stuffing 7kgs in your machine... what's its max capacity then? Your mentioning the Zanussi's doors reminded me of one thing I actually like about them... it's the fact that the deep conformation of the glass bowl is likely to keep the clothes off the front of the bellows and well into the drum. Still, I wonder whether it would work the same way with an overloaded drum. My beloved Hoover has scuffed a few items a couple of times due to the same reason as you stated above, however on those occasions the drum had been over-crammed with clothes (7kgs would do for a 6kg washer). The thing is, the clothes have to have enough space to get into the drum during distribution or even when the spin phase starts. I'm not in the habit of overloading the washer, but if I have to, I cancel the spin cycle and set a separate spin only later when I'm there... you can usually hear an abnormal noise if this happens and see some garments sticking out the lip of the drum, so I can stop the washer before any damage can occur. | ||

9kg is usually 68 litres To realistically wash 9kg you need a 90 litre drum in even the most well designed machines! An Aqualtis does hold a large amount of washing, but it just goes to show how much 6kg of laundry really is! Matt | ||

Interesting Thread......
Its a shame how these machines fail to this extent in such a short space of time to be honest, terrible when you think people part with their money and get a badly built appliance, esspecially a TOL machine like in the video.
Think this thread however could do with being brought back to what it was initially about, dont meant to sound negative or anything here guys but many of these types of threads always end up boiling down to capacity rating of machines, and of course the whole debate of Hoover/Candy being compared to Miele. I think maybe focusing on the point at hand would be better instead of starting another debate of this sort which dosnt get anywhere Rich | ||

Another hype...
I see... it seems to be a trend nowadays with most (or all) manufacturers to push their machines to the limit in their relentless struggle to baffle the public... astonishingly even Miele have done this with some of their recent models... but to a smaller extent.
It is, in a way, the same principle as… you've probably seen on a different thread which has been opened here recently about a machine with a 12 minute wash cycle: the primary purpose of cleaning laundry is somewhat served… A 62 litre drum will probably accommodate 9kgs of non bulky items (thrusted in forcibly... but not towels please) and wash them sufficiently given the prolonged cycle times, provided that they are lightly/normally soiled... Likewise... a 12 minute wash cycle will wet the laundry sufficiently (if meant for a petit load) to make it appear... rather damp at the end... well, given the short duration of the spin cycle too), however, all this becomes inflated and amplified by the media through advertising and marketing techniques. I have noticed the difference in drum volume between my recent 6 kg Hoover and my parents’ old 6 kg washer: the Hoover has a visibly smaller drum... but the difference doesn't seem huge... I haven't measured them but I will one day :-) Although, I tend to accept this situation cos' I can still load the washer to near enough its capacity obtaining more than reasonable results (using long cycles), yet, it's enough to go above its declared capacity by a few hundred grams of laundry to see all the typical symptoms of an overloaded appliance! In your case… having to load the machine 2kgs under its declared capacity seems a bit extreme… although 7kgs of laundry is quite a bulk… and… as Matt suggested, even 6kg of laundry is more than we might first think... well… I’ll second that… and I’m sure my dryer and my clothes airers would too! | ||
