Indesit WE 12

Well we've had one for about a year now, heavily used (7-10washes a week) with virtually no problems. The one it replaced was a Hoover 1300 (WD130?) which only lasted 17months before the drum bearing failed. Hoover didn't want to know, and will not sell replacement bearings - the whole drum has to be replaced at a parts cost of £130!!! - we didn't bother...

Also within the first twelve months, we have had to have new bearings fitted to the machine. The part had to be ordered, which meant we had to be without a washing machine for almost four weeks! This is the worst, most unreliable ...  Read the complete review
