to be fair, their cookers are better than new worlds and bekos! even if they are a bit on the flimsy side :S
Re: Best quality tumble driers ever made.
Of course you do know who owns the New World brand name. 😉
Re: Best quality tumble driers ever made.
How can anything Indesit (Merloni) be better than anything else, in this case Beko, they are built to too tight a budget. If Indesit wanted to make an ISE quality machine, they could but just choose not to! 🙁
wel,actually, theelectric beko cookers arent bad
after all, they market them as a flavle/belling as well
Re: Best quality tumble driers ever made.
Thats interesting, never thought that highly of Beko personally, but I could be wrong. A friend of mine has a Beko washing machine and she likes it, although it does about 6 loads a day, so my money is on it won’t last! 😕
Nice joke on Reason thread though Helo! 😈

the factory released a huge batch of faulty cookers which required differend gas flame distributer burners and thermocouples. n/w knew of the fault but rather than recall the affected batch, insited on “revising” the cooker in the customers house. only porblem with this is that the engineers never get sent the right part sent out to the customer initially – first delivery is of a burner off of a graded/return model. next delivery if that didnt work was for a revised part. in total 4 callouts spread over an average of 9-14 working days between each (if the severely pi**ed off customer could tolerate that much) and a bad reputation as a retailer… theres only so many times you can claim somethings an “isolated incident” until the custoemr sees through you !!!
my experience of indesit cooker aftersales is pretty good – if you happen to get a problem theyre usually out within a week, and if u give them an idea of the problem its normally sorted first visit – for example cannon landale whose cooling fan was clattering on cooling – as a retailer explained to indesitservice it sounded like a faulty cooling fan and they actually listened to you and engineer had fan replaced 3 days after i called up!

You would be suprised at the low call rates for the Indesit machines.

Well please show us some figures then, perhaps you would be kind enough to reveal your true identity first though. 😉
If you are only talking about U/G calls rather than the mass of calls the independent sector sees due to the extortionate call out charges thats only the tip of the iceberg.
Speaking from a position of 40 years experience in the trade I have condemned more recently produced Indesit based machines in the past five years as totally uneconomic to repair than all other makes put together.
Our resident ‘company’ engineer helo_75 might also like to enlighten you with his own experience in repairing these machines from new.

Thats interesting, when I had a Hotpoint I couldn’t get anyone to repair it for ages, all the engineers were booked solid or is that just up here in Brighouse? :rolls: Just purely out of interest do you work for Indesit ❓
So much so I got rid of it and bought a reconditioned Bosch, that performs a hell of alot better in every respect. I will never look at a Merloni appliance ever again. I thought I had bought a good washer (£500) for the Hotpoint but silly me bought it thinking of the Hotpoint of old not the modern Merloni sh1te.
Luckily the honourable Mr Chantrell (:p45:) has put us onto a good local engineer that he apprenticed many moons ago and he now owns Brighouse domestics, so he will beable to keep the Bosch running for some time yet.

low failure rate of indesit fridges?
for a minute, i thought there was another comapny called indesit
are you for real
ff175… countless modifications, too numerous to mention, more technical bulletins than a fair size hard drive can hadle
same with the ff200x with the noisy fans, poor quality defrost heaters and faulty board
dont even get me started on the ffa52… please
countless more, but im not gonna start a public debate on that merloni nonsense, the info is plain for all to see on here, high water level is more than accurate in his appraisal
no , gandhi, ur a diffent kettle of fish… is it really wise to post that about the arcelik cookers? you clearly dont have a clue do you?
join the trade forum sunshine, ill take you on in there
ooh im on a roll arent i

Yes! 😉
For anyone who thinks Indesit etc. are reliable, read this……
I got my own home when I was 17 (in 2005) and bought a Hotpoint WF530T (nice almond colour) I spent £500 on it thinking had bought an excellent quality and reliable bit of kit. It started playing up after a few months of owning it, instead of it letting all the rinse water fully pump away before spinning it immediatley put the pump on and just spun filling the tank with huge torrants of foam so always activating foam control. Then the timer/PCB went funny, it would sit there on was just rocking the drum instead of tumbling correctly, so bad washing performance. And the amount of time it spent balancing the load before spin was a joke, it would try to balance a fully even load and not bother with a badly distributed load.
At home before I left we had and still have an IAR Siltal which always washed better than the Hotpoint ever did, in 8 years of 10-15 loads a week it has needed a new pump which I fit myself and kindly supplied by UKW. The Hotpoint finally got unusable after 2 and a half years of use, a mere 4 loads a week. I looked after the Hotpoint with maintainance washes etc, kept it in good condition and still got no service life out of it. 👿 I use a good quality detergent (Ariel Biological Powder), so it did not get scummed up.
I may only be 20 but I just happen to have my head screwed on and whats more COULD NOT afford a new machine so bought a reconditioned Bosch WFF2000, which washes just as well as the IAR Siltal. The Hotpoint ruined all my towels, they smelt awful even on 60, luckily they were all saved by a boil wash in the IAR Siltal. After all that I repair all my own things, don’t always get it right but I’m only human, but I could not be @rsed with the Hotpoint any longer.
For Gods sake DO NOT buy any Merloni appliance not only are they crap, the only thing worse is the after sales service. And for reference I still have the Hotpoint in a corner with a cover over it as I spent so much money on it I could not bear to part with it. :rolls:Oliver.
