Thanks guys - I am more drawn to the Zanussi/Electrolux now as after a lot of research it seems that medium term, Indesit are not reliable |

Welcome to the washvac club Simon, I think a lot of cheaper made models / manufacturers have suffered badly over the past years from the "disposable machine syndrome" it cost so much for repairs that it is cheaper to buy new...I know a few people with Indesit machines , 3-7 years old and all going well, similarly I`ve just seen two Servis 1500 spin silver machines 4 yrs old, move house (without brackets)and continue to wash for families with no repairs... I think with new EU directives on disposal of appliances and fines for firms with high turnover for non re-cycaling, we are going to see more reliable machines... When you think that Indesit had many of the first autos over here and look how long most of them lasted, albeit low spins, you just couldnt wear them out... Simon, any pics of the struggle with the quilt?? Cheers, Mike |

Just wondered if anyone has any old pics of the indesits with the programmer and toggle switches on the top of the machine? The detergent dispenser was on the top also. Thanks Peter |

for explaining Robbie. Off on holiday in 10 mins but when I have more time I'll tell you all about my sparking Hotpoint which jumped, banged, trashed the door glass and eventually Currys couldn't fix so refunded........ |
