Reviewing: Fine when it works

It''s a tumble dryer. When it works it drys a regular sized bundle of clothes. However, since I have had this it has blown the heating elements and it now looks like I need to get a new motor (at about 40% of the cost of a new one - parts only no labour) I now have to wonder if it is worth it. ...

Continuing on from my previous message. Indesit UK have sent an engineer round who has replaced the barings, seals, heater on my tumble dryer. This was done very quickly at a time convenient to me and without charge. Infact I did not know they where going to fix it, I thought they where just going ...

Not sure when I bought this machine. But I think its less than 2 years old. Anway I have never known a machine that creats so much dust and lint in the ROOM it sits in. It blows past the shut door. The extraction pipes are full of lint and the the vent plate outside looks like a hairy thing. I ...

Reviewing: DANGER = FIRE HAZARD!!!

Indesit IS60V - Indesit say: "it''s only expected to last 2 years anyway"!!!??? Ours went up in smoke after 18 months....poor design means that most fluff bypasses the ''fluff filter'' and ends up coating the whole of the internals INCLUDING HEATER ELEMENT resulting in FIRE!!! Indesit ARE AWARE of ...

Bought the product as we believed INDESIT to be a reputable company!? I don''t like a lot about the machine save it worked reasonably well for 12/13 months...Then, guess what? the guarantee ran out and the machine started to play up. A sock got stuck in the smallest of gaps between drum and inner ...

Reviewing: Indesit ISL60V Vented Tumble Dryer

Having purchased this model less than two years ago, it suddenly started making a dreadful noise before it rattled to a halt. When the engineer came to take it apart he told me it was a fire hazard, due to all the fluff surrounding the drum. This model has a small capacity fluff collector which ...

Reviewing: IS60v - don''t buy one!

The design of this machine is as bad as it gets. The front of the drum leaks air and therefore fluff furiously, resulting in it accumulating in the void and consequential damage. It''s a swine to strip (cut hands and expletives). I now need a new heater which is priced at a third of what we paid ...

Our Indesit tumble dryer has recently stopped working. Electrical buzzing sound, drum not rotating and smell of burning. Machine 2 to 3 years old and heavily used. On investigation ( I''m an electrical maintenance engineer), by removing the top, 2 screws and pull, I found that the space between the ...

Reviewing: Tumble dryer FIRE!

Our INDESIT tumble dryer caught light. Luckily we were in the house and noticed the smoke (no smoke alarm in the kitchen - now there is!). A design flaw means that dust and fluff leaks from the filter and settles inside the dryer close to the heater element. This caught light in ours - lots ...

Machine operated strictly i.a.w. mfgs instructions but after 18 months of (noisy) operation it started smoking. Took the top off and found the carcass full of fluff which had found it''s way into the heater elements and started smouldering. Removed 2.5 shopping bags full of fluff, vacuumed the ...

Pathetic door lock broke just weeks after installation. The £35 replacement is exactly the same rubbish quality build. Tiny piece of plastic (and I mean tiny) designed to take the force of the door opening and closing on it. Useless piece of junk after a couple of weeks. Steer clear of ...

Reviewing: British Manufacturing at it's Worst

Although this rear venting appliance performs reasonably well for the money don't expect it to last too far out of the statutory warrenty period. And don't expect any help whatsoever from Indesit when it does pack up. Mine lasted 16 months before going in the skip. Sounded like a cement mixer from ...
