I recently bought a Zanussi washing machine in October 2001 and Its great. It is an FJS1225W Zanussi Jetsystem 1200 washing machine. It is so amazing, the clothes come out really clean thanks to a A rated wash performance and the Jetsystem wash system which showers water onto the clothes through a pump. The water cascades onto the clothes from a ...  Read the complete review

I rue the day I decided to buy a Whirpool washing machine. I was tempted by a £40 cashback offer, the "A" energy rating and the fact that the machine was supposed to be very simple to use. Which it is, when it is actually working! There are four of us in our house, including two small children, so I do at least one wash ...  Read the complete review

Extraordinary. I bought a rather expensive Whirlpool oven. It came with an instruction manual. This included descriptions of various functions which were described in a completely cryptic and contradictory manner. So I telephoned Whirlpool customer services. I asked what, the various functions did. For example, the "pastry ...  Read the complete review

When our trusty Hotpoint washing machine died after almost 10 years of service, we were faced with a rather daunting range of choices for a replacement. We relied a lot on personal recommendation of friends and opinions here at DooYoo. we also looked carefully over the specifications of the alternatives to make an informed decision. The purpose ...  Read the complete review

Lovely clean clothes fresh from the machine! Having washed your dark coloured socks and undies at forty degrees you would be forgiven for thinking that they are as clean as they smell. Well probably not. Forty degrees is only slightly warmer than blood 36-38 degrees and is a good temperature at which to grow germs. I recently ...  Read the complete review

A while ago, we purchased a new washing machine and dishwasher made by Whirlpool. We decided to take out a 10-year parts guarantee with them and when we purchased them from Comet we took out a 5-year labour guarantee. We have had a number of fairly minor faults over time where we have had to have engineers out to fix the fault and had ...  Read the complete review

Last Christmas, after seventeen faithful years, our washing machine (a Hoover 1100)finally died; it's electronic switching gear had fizzled out and failed to start up the spin-process. We were told it would cost at least £100 to fit a new electronic-pack, so it was clear that a new machine would have to go on the Christmas-list. We ...  Read the complete review

Due to a stupid kitchen designer, the space in our kitchen for a washing machine was just under 60cm width. Now I am sure you know most washing machines are made to be 60cm. So I was very fortunate to find the CREDA 1200 washer dryer that was around 595. It doesn't sound much but trust me, in our case it made all the difference. ...  Read the complete review

We bought the above washing machine 7 years ago and with it we bought 3 years warrantee. In those 3 years we needed 3 call outs, all were fairly minor faults. In the past 4 years nothing has gone wrong with it.(touch wood). I do on average 3 washes a day and one of those is a boil. I have really been lucky with this machine. I have ...  Read the complete review

We have had our Indesit WDG1095W Washer / Dryer for about a year now and we cannot believe how slow this washing machine is. Although it does clean the clothes well, every wash cycle is so long, that it is beginning to drive us mad. When we use the “White Cotton” wash it takes over two and a half hours to complete the whole ...  Read the complete review

We have had our Philips Whirlpool 800 washing machine for approx. 9 years.It was originally on the radio rentals rent and buy scheme, which I think they still do. The advantage is that while it is still being "rented", so to speak, any problems are sorted out free of charge. Then when the rental period is up, you have purchased it. I ...  Read the complete review

We have a great washer/dryer by Indesit. We got this one 5 years ago, having left our last one behind when we moved house (not enough room in our van!). Despite friends telling us that it would wear out fast because it is a combination machine, we have had few problems with it. It has several useful programmes, including high temperature washes ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine seven years ago now and it is still going strong. I have four children and a husband so as you can imagine I use the machine most days so it certainly takes a hammering. I choose this model as it actually measures the water needed depending on the weight of the items in the drum so if I dont have a ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Zanussi FL-1085 "Quick & Clean" 2 years ago. I was recommended the Zanussi make as I had heard that it was extremely reliable and I haven't been disapointed in any way. My Zanussi machine has lots of brilliant buttons on it half load, economy wash, rinse hold, 500rpm spin (it normally spins at 1000rpm) and it is really ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

When buying an electrical appliance it's worth taking into account Customer Service. My experience relates to an oven, but could just as easily be a washing machine, microwave etc. We had a problem with our new Whirlpool oven..it seemed as though heat was escaping as the area around the oven was like a hothouse. By a strange ...  Read the complete review
