Indesit SIXL145 reviews: Front Loading loading, 6kg capacity washing machine

+ Fab design - the soap dispenser in the door is such a clever idea - it's really quiet and so easy to use and looks really cool!

- Not that I've found

+ Best feature is the soap dispenser being inside the door. This means it's always clean and the outside of the door, being convex, doesn't collect dust. It's also simple to operate and washes well.

- Top spin is a bit noisy. As the operation is electronic, you can't put it on a timer.

+ Very simple, very few programs, low temp, and a very quick wash option

- for low temp wash it needs a liquid rather than powder, but so what.

+ Looks good and fits in with the type of kitchen we have. Simple to use

- The first machine did not work and it took another three weeks to get a replacement!

+ Very easy to use - minimal extra features to confuse you! Quick cycle is 30 mins.

- Full cycles are around 80mins in duration.

+ Can't fault it!

- none

+ ITs clean. I like putting the soap in the door. Its very simple to use with its push button system.

- You cant just do a partial wash. The other day I just needed to re-spin a load and I had to do a full wash.

+ this machine is so easy to use, liquid detergent works best but powders/tablets are ok on a hotter wash, i have found that the lower temp everyday washes could do with a faster spin, I know its supposed to think for itself, but i do feel that you should be able to regulate the spin time.

- cycle times are quite long-spin should be own choice.

+ Simplicity, minimalism

- No half-load feature. No full spin feature available on all cycles. No independent spin.

+ Looks good. Easy to use.

- 60 degree cycle too long (first time 3.5 hours)

+ easy to use, easy programs and i have even been able to use it!
best thing is that theres no messing no fuss and no choice of 50 programs that all do the same thing!

- no seperate spin option and my son can open the door very easy!

+ Looks, ease of use, very quiet spin

- No 'spin only' cycle

+ It looks lovely - for a washing machine - it's fast and very simple to use.

- No separate spin cycle - or if it has I haven't worked it out yet.

+ the soap dispenser gets washed and it doesn't go mouldy and slimey like other washing machines do its fantastic

- it does not a really hot wash like 90c it only has a 60c

+ The machine is very quiet and looks fab!!! Getting used to no being able to see the washing!!!!

- It wasnt until I started to use it that I realised that the highest spin can only be used on the 60 programme...on the quick wash its only spinning at 800. In the winter the energy saving is used up on the longer tumble dryier times.

+ Looks Good.

- Does not seem efficient on 30 degree wash, i.e. soap tablet used (persil) does not fully disolve and therefore leaves some residue.

+ Energy efficient, east to use and clean

- Can't have use spin or rinse cycles separtely

+ Its very quiet when washing.

+ so easy to use, looks great, even has a quick 30 minute program which is great in emergencies!

- cannot think of any bad points - I love it

+ Simple to use.

- None.

+ Nice to look at.

- Doesnt rinse well like it should do. Had engineer out and he found nothing wrong. Am having to try (as he recommended) several different washing powders/liquids as the machine only uses cold water and not all wash powders dissolve well in cold.

+ its so quiet when in use compared to the old one

- none yet

+ Simple to use
Efficient - does good job quickly
Quiet
Good design for washing products and indicators
Attractive model - easy to wipe clean
I like the intelligent machine! Checks and adjusts very effectively.

- None.

+ Looks super. So much quieter than the washer it replaced. Even though a lower spin speed than my previous washer, clothes do not come out dripping wet (that was my main worry before I bought this machine) I am still very pleased with the results. Very simple and easy to use and looks good in operation, due to the progressive blue lights. Did I mention that it looks good ?

- None that I am aware of.

+ It is very efficient and economical

- Isn't the quietest washing machine I've ever had

+ Easy to use. Looks great. Minimal maintenance required as self cleans detergent dispenser & waste area...just needs the filter checking rarely. Washes well on all cycles & temperatures. Low noise and good A rating.

- None really. Although, you're not able to set delay timer for start of wash.

+ Simple to use, compact.

- Only bad point is that you can't see into the machine when it is running.

+ Easy to use. Self cleaning. Easy to install and setup. Excellent cleaning of colours and whites. Lets you know when its finished your wash by sounding a "BLEEP". Just like the microwave. Job done.

- could be quiter, Spin cycle seems rather loud. Wash cycle far too long.

+ great looking.
soap drawer in door is a great idea, no mess.
easy to use, even men/teenagers/lazy people couldn't use "don't know how to use it" as an excuse.
illumination sends 9 months son to sleep!

- 30 min wash is more like 45 min, but good points far outway!

+ Everything is neat and tidy, washing powder drawer is on inside of door making cleaning low maintenance, easy to operate with only necessary wash cycles pre programmed.

- Early days, but so far, so good, however as with everything in todays climate could be better priced,

+ very quiet. looks great

- can not see what is washing

+ Very easy to use. Love the fact it has no soap dispenser drawer to get cogged up. Just has 4 main options for wash cycles-used to only use 2 on my old machine anyway. I reckon I could teach my husband to use it!!

- Can't opt for faster spin on low temp washes.It has pre set programmes.

+ excellent no fuss- only 8 programmes - switch on & wash!

- highest temp wash only goes up to 60 degrees

+ Looks great in my kitchen, & its very easy to use - you just push a couple of buttons. Detergent goes in the drum door, no theres no mess either.

- Takes a bit of getting used to, but read the manual & you'll be fine.

+ at a glance wash time readout

+ Very stylish machine, quiet, 30min wash brilliant,easy to use - even the men in my family can work it out!

- The 30 min daily wash could have a faster spin speed as clothes quite damp but overall not really a problem

+ STRAIGHT FORWARD TO USE. CONTROLS VERY SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND AND USE.WASHES GOOD.

- NOT ABLE TO CHANGE CONTROLS FOR SPEED OF SPIN OR TEMP CONTROL.
DID NOT REALISE THIS WHEN BUYING MACHINE.

+ Looks lovely and isn't vastly expensive.

- Extremely disappointed with the washing. On the cycle for the whites, the machine spins well, but as soon as you use the 40 degree cycle, the power of the spin is inusfficient and the clothes come out of the machine sopping wet. I'm finding that the majority of the time the clothes are stinking after they're dry. I have seriously considered treating this as money badly spent, cutting my losses and just getting a new machine.

+ very quiet very easy to use, looks good, washes clean.

- none

+ Simplicity!!! Even my boyfriend can use it, no excuse!

+ i like the drawers for the washing powder

- cant just put it on spin got to do compleat wash

+ Reviewer left no comment

- no spin only

+ Simple to use.

- not enough choice of washes ( 1 spin to 1 temperature)

+ The washing machine looks good. It washes the clothes well. It is much quieter than my last machine.

- There is no programme for spin only. If I put my clothes on the line to dry and it it comes to rain I cannot spin them unless they go through the full programme. I would have preferred a machine which uses water from the hot tap as well as the cold tap.

+ Looks very stylish.,

- I usually have to wash clothes twice. It certainly does NOT recognise detergent on product and continue to
rinse. If powder is used this more often than not marks the clothes and does not dissolve properly. Very disappointed with this product.

+ very quiet
very fast

+ This machine is super quiet, economical and pleasing to the eye, we are very pleased with this machine and would recommend it highly.

- There is no separate spin cycle.

+ quiet, aesthetically pleasing.

- Programmes dictate spin speed etc - no facility to select spin only or vary settings beyond pre programmed controls.

+ It is so easy to use. My clothes smell even fresher and I don't have to clean the drawer. Was a really good price in comparison to other suppliers.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ Easy to use. Shame no single spin cycle, but 30 minute cycle is a bonus!

- None

+ Simple to use, fast and efficient. The soap powder drawer is located inside the washing machine so it gets cleaned every time a wash is run....fantastic, no more cleaning out powdery or liquid covered soap despeners. Best of all, I can trust the teenagers to use it correctly because there are only 5 cycles clearly illustrated using symbols and lights.

- none

+ Very easy to use, unlike most washing machines in today's market.

+ great looking washing machine no messy powder draw all powder and liquid is neatly put in the door

- cycle times can be a bit long having said that outstanding cleaning

+ Ease of use, design, price

- Not as full featured as some washing machines, but this doesn't really matter much, as it does what it does do very well.

+ looks amazing and easy to use

- not many settings

+ Love the blue LED lights that track the cycle progress and the fact that you cannot see into the drum.

- Could do with an intermediate programme between short wash and normal wash.

+ its so easy to use even a child could use this machine

- can be noisy when spinning

+ GEAT PRODUCT, GREAT HALF AN HOUR CYCLE.

- CAN'NT DO SPIN ONLY CYCLE AND FABRIC ONLY CYCLE HAVE TO DO FULL ONE. BUT OLY HALF AN HOUR LATER.

- no spin only cycle

+ Simple to use and the internal detergent dispenser saves all the mess that you get with the ordinary draws

- No separate spin cycle

+ An excellant simple to use Machine

- The Survey, Makes no sense,ie would you watch it again.

+ looks good

- already the detergent dispenser is not draining

+ Looks good, is quiet and has large drum

- Apart from one all the cylces take forever

+ easy to use, washes very well, detergant goes in compartment in door so you dont get any build up of old powder, 3 compartments for liquid detergant, powder and conditioner, can take it out to clean. It has lights on the front to tell you how long is left until finish.

- sponges in door need to be regularly wringed out but easy to do. washes are long so wouldnt reccomend if you wanted to use for quick washes. also, the spin speed varies with different programmes.

+ Fast, efficient, has a 30 wash and is simple to use.

- Could have more different types of washes - especially a hand wash cycle

+ Stylish, Easy to Use, I love it!!
