You get exactly what you pay for with the Indesit W1335 UK. The machine works well, but is terminally unreliable. Without word of exaggeration, I reckon the £99 we paid for our three year Merloni warranty was recouped ten times in the three years we owned it. Just the two of us in the house, so it got maybe 2-3 loads a week through it. Hardly a hard life.
The warranty eventually ran out and sure enough, three weeks later it started refusing to spin. It was unplugged, disconnected and after a bit of negotiation, our neighbour let us chuck it his skip. Utter, utter rubbish - have never owned a Merloni product since.

I have only used Indesit washing machines and in the past they have been very reliable lasting approximately 10 years each.
The model we bought in February 2002 sounds as if a mine field is exploding. This has entailed lots of visits to a distant laundrette.
I find incredible that a washing machine only lasts 8 months with the bearings needing replacing. The machine is used twice a day.

Whatever did happen to the old Indesit machines? The crazy drive of people wanting cheap machines, i find appalling, when they have a large task to do, a 5kg load of saturated clothes being spun at high speeds is going to take it's toll on a machine, and the cheaper machines just aren't cut out to manage it.
<br/>Buy cheap, buy twice, I say.

I have had similar problems with my machine after 13 months. Indesit are not very helpful when trying to complain. At the moment I am unsure if to bother having my machine repaired or to buy a new one but not Indesit or any of Merloni machines.

Kath...I'd be interested to know if your previous machines had the heavy use of the present one.
<br>Do try and have a happy new year despite the fact that you're almost ninety quid the poorer.
