Pros…
- Seems to get the clothes clean
- Must be dirt cheap otherwise the landlord would not have bought it
Cons…
- Degree in linguistics required to fully comprehend the instruction manual
- Wide variety of programs but hard to work out exactly what each one is for
- Door lock is very flimsy and I’m surprised it seals in the water
- Water does not drain out of conditioner tray (odd design)
- Damn thing has started to flood the floor when filling! Water comes out of the soap tray. Probably the pipes into the machine are getting clogged up with old detergent (maybe also those liquitab wrappers), cold fill means that it is never cleared out. So I have tried pouring some hot water down there. Another curiosity is that the pump filter (which is easy to access, rather than hidden away) is missing on the machine, which was brand new.
Oddly enough our last machine (Ariston Washer Dryer from Currys – piece of junk – did neither at all well) also went through a phase of water coming out of the tray. Turned out that it was a wet wipe (or similar) that had got through the drum seal and blocked the pump. Had to take the cover off the machine to get it.
It’s a thrill a day in our household I can tell you!
