Re: ISECD60W – ISE10 Condenser Tumble Dryer 10 Year Warranty

I just bought one. Figured that having a machine that would not need replacing in 10 years would offset any increased running costs.

Thank you Don, David and Ken!

Re: ISE condenser dryer – questions

Thanks Don, it looks like the “Low/High temperature option” is the answer to my question. If I want the door reversing does that need to be specified when I order?

Re: Is there a new model ISE coming out soon?

Dales-Electronic wrote:Good to hear it I’m sure you will not be disappointed however, I have been asked to point out (from the bosses) that yes you have a full ten year warranty covering parts and labour BUT if you call out an ISE engineer and the fault is found to be of YOUR making ie a coin in the drain pump or someone switched the water off etc, then a small charge will be levied. The ten year guarantee covers all electro-mechanical faults but NOT customer errors.

LOL. I took 25p out of the drain pump of ours yesterday. It is very very easy to empty.

Re: ISE10, rinsing, quality, reliability and cost of repairs

I’ve had no problems loading/unloading with the drop down door, and I do about 5-6 loads a week plus a daily rinse cycle of nappies. I really like it as it will easily take the weight of a bucket of wet nappies and I can just tip them in. When unloading I just tilt the basket or bag towards the open door (which opens fully so doesn’t obstruct) and then just pull it all out. Every so often I have to reach in for a dishcloth but I’ve never thought of it as a hassle. I think it’s a bit like closing the machine door – seems to be perceived as a bit of a hassle but in my experience it really isn’t.

Re: ISE10, rinsing, quality, reliability and cost of repairs

I have an ISE10 which I’ve set to do 5 rinses as standard rather than 3. I was completely happy with the 3 rinses, but as my daughter is in cloth nappies I wanted the extra rinses to be sure that all detergent was rinsed out from them (she is prone to eczma). Clothes wash fine and come out softer than from our old Baumatic, even though we’ve stopped using fabric conditioner.

I’m very happy with it. Everything seems to wash well, whatever the programme, and the cycles are much quicker than I’m used to which is brilliant.

Re: what benifit would i get with a ise10 compared to a ise2

I haven’t used an ise2, but have an ise10 and had an ise5 whilst waiting for the ise10. I think the 5 was absolutely fine. I really wanted the ise10 because of the warranty and doing loads of family washing, but have no complaints at all about the 5. Both wash brilliantly in my experience.

Re: ISE 5

We were lent an ISE5 whilst waiting for our ISE10 to arrive. I found it to be a great machine and would have been sorry to see it go if it wasn’t for the incoming ISE10. To be honest the availability of local support and the inclusive parts and labour warranty swung it for us, together with cheaper parts once the machine is out of warranty. I don’t want to be putting any more machines into landfill.

As well as various synthetic programs and separate wool and silk programs there is a ‘Handwash’ program for items marked with a handwash label. I felt it imprudent to ask my wife for a cashmere jumper to try it out.

😆 I washed all my husband’s cashmere on the handwash cycle, the jumpers were all fine, clean and soft. I think I have an older ISE5 as it has words not symbols on the dial. I like the delayed start feature too.

Re: ISE5 intensive cycles

Thank you. I shall have a good read tonight.

Re: ISE5 intensive cycles

Thank you, I will PM you.

Mine doesn’t have symbols on the dial, it just has numbers and words. There are two settings on the dial labelled Intensive 40 and 60. I was curious about how they differ to the other 40 and 60 settings.

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

First off, thank you for a first-class forum.

I have ordered an ISE10 through my local agent, hopefully it is being delivered next week. After spending £700 on two machines in six years the cost seems fine to me, particularly with the ten year warranty. We have a 9month-old baby, are moving house to a newbuild and have to leave our built-in machine here. We are taking the opportunity to buy something that does everything we need, should last long enough to still be doing our daugher’s laundry when she brings it home from college, and has a strong “green” ethic so that we won’t be binning a machine every few years. I really admire the thought that has gone into the whole life-cycle of ISE machines and am more than happy to make this purchase.

Just to add to a couple of Dantina’s points. I think we have been spoiled with the withspread availability of online reviews for pretty much anything. When a product comes along that isn’t a big player, and isn’t sold by mainstream distribution channels, it will take a while for reviews to build up. I figured I just had to use my own judgement and take whatever risk there is buying a product with a ten year warranty, but I suppose it depends on how much data you feel comfortable with before committing what is quite a significant amount of money. I came across ISE on a womens’ forum, it was just mentionned as a brand that someone would buy if they were getting a new machine, and I looked it up from there.

Secondly, I think this forum is set up for and by white-goods experts, and that doesn’t seem to be a sector that has many women working in it. Perhaps that will change in the future, who knows.
