Indesit WIA101

Had this product for over 3 years.

It used to be a good machine, until the control board failed and the machine was stuck in 1 program, couldn't change the program, the temperature or turn it off, luckily, first time the control board failed was within the warranty, but now failed the second time and would cost at least £105 to have the control board replaced.

Not gonna bother fixing it, might last again only 1 year and then the same problem all over again. I'll stop wasting the money on it and gonna buy a new one but not an Indesit.

Buy a Indesit WIA101 like me and you get what you pay for - it lasted 14 months. Next time it will be Hotpoint for me, they give a 5yr warranty.

I had my Indesit washing machine for 13 years! I got this machine at the time as it was the only one i could afford. It never went wrong never needed a service call and washed really well. It was the bet cheap machine i had ever owned and never thought it would last so long. When it finally broke it just leaked everywhere and wouldn't spin. But hey after 13 years of good use i can't complain. Good value for money machine!

I at last have got round to purchasing a washing machine after over two years. Going to the laundry is such a hassle, that after two years of it I looked in my Littlewoods catalogue and purchased the best value machine I could. The Indesit WIA101 model is £200. I had a £10 voucher and cash back, so it was £185 payable over 12 months interest free.

Delivery was free, and it was delivered five days after it was ordered. It was plonked by the kitchen door where I set upon installing it. It has three transit bolts which must be taken off by unscrewing them, and also removing a bit of polystyrene under the machine. On doing this I drilled a hole in my kitchen sink unit, connected the cold water only hose and pushed the outlet hose onto its pipe.

Next, looking in the instructions it said run the machine through a cycle at full heat. Having no time for that, it was filled with lightly soiled clothes and put on Daily Wash programme 8. In half an hour, well spun out clothes emerged. The 1000 rpm spin speed is a good point. A packet of powder has lasted 10 washes and really cleans well.

So far it has worked well, and it will pay for itself in no time at all me thinks.
