Advantages: Reliability

Disadvantages: May not be able to get parts

Another opinion tells what a great workhorse her Indesit washing machine was. I've still got mine - and an Indesit dishwasher! Had 'em both for more years than I can remember.

Yes, they have occasionally needed repair, but my husband, being a keen DIYer has always managed to find a magic bit, lurking in cellar or garage to fix it. (No we don't keep the car in the garage, or wine in the cellar)Try any service place and they'll tell you it needs a whole new inside, or something - you should very rarely believe it, whether or not Indesit.

But, hubby says, it's because Indesit are so simple, that they're so reliable. I read another opinion here which reckons Indesit not as good now - maybe not; haven't needed to try - certainly we haven't got all the latest gizmos, which weighs washing, judges what to do with it, at what temperature etc.

Perhaps it's a generation thing, habit of knowing what to do with it (!), that has never made us want the frills that often cause the unreliability. (Though if we ever need to replace our machines, I expect we'll follow the trend).

If we can't find an Indesit by then, of course.
