Indesit WD 12 X

We bought a property with this machine in it. We have had nothing but trouble with it. The engineer that came out was very rude and said what do you expect. It was leaving the clothes with brown stains the engineer said he did not know why he was fixing the machine. Then advised us to do a high temperature wash we did and the machine overheated and was only by luck we got up in the night or the house could have caught fire. The kitchen cupboards are bubbled and indesit are not interested.

Has never washed the clothes properly, they look grey and old. Will never buy indesit.

Washing machine part is fine, use a cool wash. But the drier is rubbish. Clothes boiling hot and creased. I am just using the washing machine part and taking the clothes out into my old drier. Don't buy a combined unit separate works much better

Doesnt wash, boiling on high temperature, doesnt dry. Totally useless!!! Destroyed my kitchen furnitures!!

I had exactly the same problem as others reviewing here, I put my machine on a 90 degree wash, it steamed and destroyed my entire kitchen. I am holding to speak with the manufacturer as I type this but there is obviously a fault with this machine that Indesit need to react to. I also noticed that the machine has been discontinued with speaks volumes.

I rent and inherited this machine as part of the property. From day 1 all we have had is problems. The machine smelled of musk and mould and all things positively unclean. So we attempted a service wash on 90 as instructed in the manual and the thing started boiling the water in the drum and steaming the entire kitchen up as if we were frying a whole bottle of oil in the pan on high heat. Engineer called immediately (luckily we hadnt left the house as we would have with our previous machine).

Two parts replaced including thermostat, drum had no chrome left on it, just burn marks. Same problem kept happening if we dared use a temperature above 40, water didnt fully drain from drum, or detergent drawer, belt snapped and freshly washed clothes smelled not unlike a dogs wet bed. Engineer called out for third time in 9 months, wrote the machine off.

He said it was a fire hazard as no amount of parts would outlast the dangerous electronics, which allowed the machine to literally boil.

So in short, it doesn't clean clothes, doesn't dry clothes, doesn't prove reliable or efficient and doesnt make it easier then doing a very manual hand wash.

It does however make a mean cup of tea if you fancied throwing some tea bags in and risking your families lives all the while.

Disgusted Indesit sold a machine that is unsafe (confirmed by your reviews) and doesn't do any of the jobs it should to any reasonable standard.

Expect your clothes dirty, burned, smelly and if youre really lucky ruined.

the wash side of this machine with the ecomony is good but the dryer is useless!!!! the tempature of the dryer is far to hot the clothes come out of the dryer all creased up and impossible to iron and in some cases damaged as the dryer does not cool down.... you are forever up and down checking the contents of the dryer to make sure nothing gets damaged...i no longer dry clothes in there only bedding which comes out badly creased and impossible to iron...

its a pity i cant down load a picture of the creased bedding so you can see how bad it is

i cant wait for the machine to break down so i can buy a seperate dryer as this machine was a complete waste of money!!!

does not dry clothes! there is no vent for the steam to escape so it just overheats! do not buy!

worst electrical product we have ever bought !didnt take out extended warranty but didnt expect any faults within first two years -took 13 month for it to act up and indest didnt want to know . thought first prob might be the last and the second and the third and the forth and the fifth !! scrapman takin it monday. been well ripped off!!!pity didnt check website reviews first !

Returned home to find my kitchen full of steam as it was puthering from the machine! Pressed the button to turn it off and the front of the machine caved in as it had melted!! It also melted the worktop and the integrated cupboard door had bubbled! I don't expect equipment to last a lifetime but I expect my money's worth & a safety cut off point - it could have burnt my house down! Trading standards have recorded it & they called me back as they were concerned at the safety of it. They said if they get just one more, they will take it up with Indesit so please report yours - its a hazard and they should have recalled them!! Advised to report to B&Q under Sales of Goods Act & to Indesit under Product Liability for consequential damage!

This is the worst machine I've ever owned. Instead of drying the clothes, it boils them, leaving everything creased. The machine breaks down frequently. Last time, it overheated, steaming the entire bathroom. It also takes forever to do one load of laundry. I would not recommend this machine to anyone.
