    outstanding washer ive had mine since 2004
    and only once had a problem with it
    as the drum needed replaceing
    and dyson did it with ease
    i cant fault the machine since even tho the coin trap is fidly at times
    but other than that im happy with it
    it is bigger than most machines so be warned before u get one
    that it wont fit all kitchens very well

    Bought the Dyson CR01 Contra Rotator in Jan 2005 just after my little boy was born. Before that we had a Hotpoint Ultima, but wasn't impressed with its wash performance, as there never seemed to be enough water going into the drum for the wash cycle. Clothes were still smelling sweaty, particularly my gym t-shirts, even after a 50 degree wash cycle. I complained to Hotpoint and got nowhere. So decided to sell it 2nd hand and bought the Dyson. It's brilliant, it washes a massive load in half the ...

    Had the Dyson CR01 for 5 years and would recommend this machine (if still available) due to its ease of use, load, hand wash cycle and duvet cycle.
    Only had two faults - the first was due to a foreign object (bike spanner) clogging up the mechanism. Engineer out within a couple of days and sorted - no charge. The second, and more serious was the contrarotator stopping. Again engineer out within a couple of days and no charge.

    It's longevity is the biggest thing I was astounded with. bought it back in 2001 after perseverance from the missus. "Dyson are great".. My views were they are overpriced plastic toys but boy was I wrong. This is by the most worthwhile electronic purchase I have made in my lifetime (I'm 60yrs old now)

    I bought my Dyson CR01 Contrarotator in 1998 or 1999 and paid just over a 1000 pounds for it through my home catalogue. It was new on the market and I wanted the best. It has been wonderful over the last 9 years and still going strong. Dyson have constantly insured it for me, and under the constant extended warranties, and insurance cover they have never complained about it's age, and replaced the doors, the motors, the soap dish, the drum, in fact, other than the shell of it, which I might add, ...

    The Dyson CR01 Contrarotator is a great machine, still going strong after 7 years, easy to clean and service, huge capacity. only problem been things in the coin trap and I had to take the pump out to clean it once 'cos one of the kids had left some shoelaces in a pocket and they'd got into the pump.

    Don't buy the Dyson CR01 Memory is my advice. I have a dyson and I have had problem after problem with it and unfortunatly dyson customer services do not care at the faulty products they sell.
    Problems are as follows,
    clothes torn apart, flooding in kitchen, drum fell out twice, fault f15 on panel,fault f11 on panel, fault 3 on panel e.t.c.
    I can sit here all day and list the faults my dyson washing machine has had but Im sure you have made your mind up by now.

    I head a family of six. Prior to buying the Dyson, we would go through one washing machine every 14 - 15 months. We have tried them all - Zanussi, Hotpoint, Servis, etc. After the warranty expired, so did the washing machine and the repair cost simply did not make sense - it was cheaper to buy a new machine. We have now had the Dyson CR01 for more than 5 years. It is a brilliant machine and, when it breaks down, I call out Dyson and pay the 85. They fix it and also look for anything else that re ...

    Please do not bother, I paid £800 worst £800 ever spent. Thought you get what you pay for (as the saying goes) well i don't think so!

    I'm really disappointed as I was expecting the Dyson CR01 Memory to last for a while - I really liked the design and my kitchen was planned around it - now I have a great big hole in my life (kitchen) and it can`t be replaced. Stay clear, you will be disappointed and after you have had a Dyson it's really hard to go back to conventional washing machines. 600 pounds wont buy me anything as big.

    We have had the Dyson CR01 Memory washing machine for almost three years, which we paid 1999,00 euro for!

    The control panel has been changed twice, and now we have another problem. Once we had to wait two weeks for an engineer. That is much too long for us - a family of 7 people. We are very disappointed, as we use the machine at least once a day.

    Had my CR01 for 15 months now and it is absolutley brilliant.You get loads in (7kg)and it come out really clean first time,The main advantages we have found are speed of wash,capacity and wash performance.Had one minor problem with the soap dish and an engineer came out within 2 hours and replaced the whole assy not just the cracked part,Excellant back up.The engineer knew the product and had the parts to fix it there and then.Our previous washer a servis it took 3 days to get some one out and a ...

    I work for dyson. The Dyson CR01 washine machine looks good and works well. there have been problems with a lot of machines though. i recommend waiting until the next model is released and the bugs should be out of them.

    Whilst the Dyson CR01 Memory washing machine boasts all these wonderful facilities, it can hardly be considered reliable when you only manage to get 1 wash out of the machine.
    The old Hoover machine we bought five years ago second hand for £120 is by far a better and more reliable machine.
    Obtaining a service engineer when it is suitable for you is a nightmare.
    I recommend not to purchase this machine, for those that have I hope your having better luck than me. I was very happy ...
