june, Gloucester

+ Excellant value for money. As a "techno-phob" it needed to be very easy to use and not too many buttons, which this model measures upto very well.

- I find it hard to find "bad points", perphaps slightly noisy, but its not a problem.

Helen, London

+ The daily quick wash is perfect for almost all my wash loads unless anything is really dirty. As it doesn't spin very fast on that particular setting it is really easy to set it for another fast spin if I am going to use the tumble dryer rather than line dry. Saves so much time and energy.

- None really, think the fast wash could be a bit quicker and it could be slightly quieter but probably just being picky there

Marianne, Colchester

+ Love this machine! Previous was a model from another big name brand and was just terrible and eventually packed up completely after 3 years. Read lots of reviews and decided on this Indesit.
Looks nice, easy to use, simple controls and so less to go wrong! Some other machines (like my last one) have too many fancy displays etc that they don't seem to last long. Washes everything really well. Nice drum size. Not particularly quiet but not horribly noisy either (infact I think its quieter than last one which was supposedly 'super silent'). Quite a small machine so takes up less space (but drum is still big).

- No major bad points. Doesn't have a child lock so have to watch our 3 year old doesn't fiddle with the dials when its on. Also, cycles can be fairly long but this just means everything gets a really good wash! No half-load facility but with 2 adults and 2 kids, it's usually full everytime anyway!!
