I was replacing an old Creda 1200 with a new washer which I get from a friend who does graded .I wanted a 6kg to replace her old 6kg and this Indesit was suggested as it says it washes 1 to 6kg. However on looking at this washer I found it was of the short front to back variety and the drum was only 24cm deep. Contrast this with the standard 6kg the drum is approx 33cm deep,the diameters were the same. I think you would be hard pushed to get 6kg in the Indesit unless youre washing a suit of chain mail. I just think its another case of corporate WCWGAW (What can we get away with). I always thought the volume of the drum directly correlated with the size of the load but it seems Indesit are rewriting the rules. Incidentally my customer ended up with a midrange Bosch.
