Advantages: Looks nice and stylish in silver

Disadvantages: A load of old pony!

When I bought this cursed machine 5 years ago, I was not so bothered about the price of the product than of the appearance and features.

However, since purchase it has had to have the bearings replaced, the entire drum unit and bearings were changed within 2 years of purchase, the door hinge has also been replaced once, and it has had a new electric motor following an internal water pipe coming loose and spraying the entire workings with water. Also the kick-plate trim fell off as the lugs holding it to the machine had snapped, and finally the on-off button popped out one day and i couldnt glue it back on. During one of the engineers many visits I was told that the bearings usually need to be replaced every 2 years or so. I live on my own and only use the machine 2 - 3 times a week. It must be made with poor quality parts to get through them so quickly!

All in all a disasterous machine! But it looks good in my kitchen LOL.

I see other reviewers have stated they would never buy another indesit. I cn only agree with this sentiment. One of my neighbours was unfortunate enough to buy this model but with the built-in dryer feature. She also had numerous engineers visits. when she first tried to use it, it didnt work as Indesit had installed completely the wrong circuit board!

I shall be checking out other product reveiws on this web site out before purchasing a replacement!
