Good price comes to £161.19 now the bad stuff my gran bought the £199 hotpoint from Currys that was all over the TV and Sunday night it went wrong showing F09 code it was 10 days old now before people say it has nothing to do with this indershit machine your wrong. Both washing machines come of the exact same line at the same factory along With Candy and another couple of makes, gone are the days that Hotpoint machines were quality thats why they are now so cheap. This is a great price but the quality is very bad. Voting hot anway but i couldnt deal with the stress of calling them out when it fails.

I had the main drum bearing fail on a Smeg washer/dryer. Got quotes for the repair and they were more than the cost of the machine due to the labour, it is a major strip down and rebuild. I did not send it to land fill as I purchased the bearing for £15 and did it myself. At one stage there must have been over a 100 separate parts on the kitchen floor but it all went back together again nicely. Puzzles me why we have become such a throwaway society.

Thought the pic was a mug at first glance!

Thanks! Just saved me £50 on a £250 washing machine!! :-) one code runs out today though..

Thanks - just got the heat pump "Hotpoint Ultima S-Line Condenser Tumble Dryer, SUTCD GREEN 9A1 - White" for £339 down from £419

Yeah, you really can't say - my Hotpoint/Indesit has lasted 12 years therefore they're decent. You've got to go by recent reviews, preferably about that particular model, if you can. Brand reputation changes over the years, sometimes for the better - sometimes for the worse.

Personally I feel reviews are bought also washing machine reviews never talk about long term ownership just how well it washes which again is subjective and variable. I have a Samsung 12KG washing machine which I paid alot of money for and I will say it's a average for stain removal.

Its a toss up between Samsung and Hotpoint who makes the hottest products?

Yes thank you. I also have candles but use them when I'm feeling romantic with the wife, usually rely on electric light. How's your horse and cart doing?

Have you not got a sink, washing up bowl, detergent and a washing brush?

I would not allow another Hotpoint, Indesit or any other product from the whirlpool range through my door again if it was free and had money taped to it. They are at best shoddily manufactured and at worst deathtraps.

I used on a Hoover washing machine, so deal probably not just Indesit/Hotpoint..

Agree. Just to clarify my Bosch dishwasher I referred to earlier was brand new so under warranty so I'm not going to invalidate the warranty by looking at the machine myself.

muffboy got a quote and did the work himself, with 100 parts on the floor which could be pretty daunting to a lot of people, whilst huggybecky_1975 £440 washer was presumably under warranty (bought last year).

I'm happy working with electrics but others aren't and a washing machine combines both electrics and water so not surprising many choose not to do the work themselves.

I do know one end of a screwdriver from the other but don't always have the time or energy to fix things plus I earn a decent enough wage to afford to pay someone to do the jobs that I frankly can't be arsed to do myself anymore e.g. I know how to maintain a car having learnt from my late (engineer) dad but prefer to let my local mobile mechanic get his hands dirty instead and know a great decorator who does a much better job at painting and odd job repairs than me.

The problem with all these washing machines is now they're controlled by a microprocessor. They used to be controlled by an electric clock which set the switches as it rotated. Now, if something goes wrong with the processing, one or more circuit boards needs to be replaced. The people who service these machines have a stack of boards, so it's simply a matter of replacing them until they find the faulty one. The individual boards are expensive. So it's difficult and expensive for the owner to do.

Very cold for me as both makes are crap in my opinion - from previous experience: customer service is rubbish the same as quality of the products - crap

Why is everyone harping on about engineer callouts blah blah blah? I had a Hotpoint dishwasher that lasted about 10 years but just made any repairs myself. there's hardly any parts in a dishwasher that can't be changed by anyone but a simpleton. Also got a 14 yr old hotpoint tumble dryer still going, changed thermostats and heating element myself in less than 20 mins from looking at a you tube video. Even pcu boards can be bought on auction sites, I replaced one on my flat screen tv when that died . So... yes I would get another hotpoint or indesit but I'd never pay for a callout. We need to all know one end of a screwdriver from another that's all.

Thanks OP just got this for £80.19 using codes and clubcard vouchers that I'd forgotten about! Happy days :smile:

Voted hot :sunglasses: but so gutted just bought a new washing machine last week!!!!

If your machine is showing F09 error, all you need to do is take the drain out and hit it a couple of times in a bucket. 9 times out of 10 is that the hose is blocked which shows the error.

this one LZ :smiley:

A lot has changed in the last 22 years!, They're now made in Poland using the cheapest low quality parts they can manufacture. They're most certainly not as good as they used to be.

Not everyone will experience problems with them but quite a large majority of people do, Especially these days.

When I fitted laminates in my house only managed to put laminates under the front 2 feet :smile:

Extortion repair bill when you can pay £50 more to buy brand new with few years warranty. Not consumers fault. We could always teach our kids handyman skills :smiley:

I bought a £440 washing machine last year and it bounces all over the place. Even having called out their engineers I'm being told it's normal for large drum machines to be unbalanced. Unbalanced? We can't use the machine at night or early morning because it's so bad the neighbours complain. When I try it with a small load its so unbalanced it refuses to spin. With a large load it can't distribute it and shakes the house to pieces. I'm looking for a cheap heavy balanced machine. I'm furious with the manufacturers but they refuse to do anything.

You might as well chuck your money in the landfill because that's where those Hotpoint/Indesit products will end up in no time. Unless you're happy to pay £120+ call out charge!.

cheers op got a hotpoint condenser dryer for £144 apparently theyre made in the uk too

Make sure you use the savings to get a fire alarm

Just because its cheap doesn't mean you should buy it.

Whirlpool ,hotpoint indesit. same company that sell repair plans. (a 12 month repair plan which will likely be cheaper than a separate parts and labor)

Tesco is best when it comes to voucher codes

Beko washing machine is the one I went for 8 years ago. Got it from good old Comet. £249 is what I paid for it then. If it goes wrong, I will chuck it away & get the same again. Which , gave this as the best value washing machine under £250 @ the time.. Never has missed a beat. Perhaps I am one of the lucky ones.

Zanussi, Bosch LG Samsung Miele. Go spend extra if you can.

Kudos to you. I've replaced bearings a few times in both washing machines and dryers. It's not hard, just very tedious and you have to keep track of every part you remove to get to and remove the drum (which is almost 80% of the parts in the machine!). Getting the drum out is the hardest part, changing the bearings themselves takes may be 15 min. Many YouTube videos one can refer to. Amazing how many people throw away their machines due to bearing failure.

I've found espares.co.uk very good for white goods spare parts, reasonable prices and they even advice you over the phone on how to perform replacements.

We're indeed now a throw-away society.
Your Miele should last at least another 5 years if you got decent bearings. Good luck!

Good price comes to £161.19 now the bad stuff my gran bought the £199 hotpoint from Currys that was all over the TV and Sunday night it went wrong showing F09 code it was 10 days old now before people say it has nothing to do with this indershit machine your wrong.

This is a great price but the quality is very bad. Voting hot anway but i couldnt deal with the stress of calling them out when it fails.

Indesit is owned by Whirlpool now.

have a indesit washer dryer 10 years still going strong.

So most people conclude that this machine is of extremely poor quality and it will probably cause no end of trouble. Then they see the price and vote hot. That really doesn’t make any sense.

Would'nt bother with a hotpoint.

Hotpoint - no thanks!

Good find, but wouldn't this be a better buy? Same price but higher capacity and better energy efficiency rating: https://www.tesco.com/direct/indesit-innex-washing-machine-bwa-81283x-w-uk-8kg-1200rpm-white/715-7411.prd

Code seems to work on all brands. Just got 20% off a Samsung washing machine

cheers op. condensor dryer for £143, might bite later

Thought the pic was a mug at first glance!

Seem as good deal if you get one; I ordered a Hotpoint from Tesco with last 20% discount just 3/4 weeks ago; I got email with delivery date, waited in all day of course for No delivery. I emailed Tesco who replied after another 3 days saying their supplier is waiting for stock which was due in another weeks time. I cancelled and bought exact same Hotpoint model from the Coop which was delivered within 2 days and Tesco was still waiting for supplier to get stock.
Might be wise to confirm if Tesco have items available to sell before ordering?

I've just stacked 2 washing machines..done my back in!!

Well done on this find

amazing ...just saved £43 on a washing machine I was going to buy anyway. thanks

Trouble is where do i keep them all ? the bottles are huge and i got lots of them to store :laughing:

Cracker that one wasnt it waterloo that was tucked right out of the way but still sniffed it out and posted for hukd just a shame there wasn't a few more

Thats ok thanks for the fairy liquid :laughing:

Thanks for the description waterloo

I dont think its a glitch i just looked at the T&C codes and none of these codes begin with XX OR TDX

Even where eCoupons expressly state at the time of issue that they may be used in conjunction with other eCoupons or offers, any eCoupon code beginning XX may not be used in conjunction with any other eCoupon code that also begins XX.

great find 20% fandabbydoozie im hot :laughing:

good find

Just tried both codes on an Idesit dishwasher and it only allowed 1. However, it appeared to work on a washing machine..

I think tesco allow stacking of codes i cannot remember i'm sure i have stacked codes before ? Somebody will be along soon to put me right :smirk:
