Indesit washing machines are a European model, with one of its best markets being the British economy market. Indeed, it is the second best-selling brand in Europe. It is known for its economic and functional approach, and has been called a “basic, no-frills” washer.

Why Buy Indesit?

This economic approach to appliances is one of the biggest selling points of the Indesit line. Their range of washing machines do not boast multiple cycles and high-end features, but they do wash clothes as they have promised to do. They get clothes just as clean as washing machines that cost two or three times as much.

Short History of Indesit

The contemporary manifestation of the Indesit Company is a combination of English and Italian companies that date back to 1930 and have merged into different configurations in the intervening years. The company also owns and produces the Ariston brand. Indesit sells its products in more than 36 countries, and has employees over 17,000 people globally. Indesit has received many important awards, including awards for technological innovation and for equal opportunities for its employees.

Common Features

Most Indesit washers offers two washing cycles: anti-crease and economy. The front-load model comes with a durable plastic door and a small soap dispenser. Many of the models come with a timer so that you can set the start of a wash cycle for any time of your choosing, and some come with a 30-minute quick-was setting. In addition, some models of Indesit washers are self-cleaning. These washers come in white, white with a silver door, or stainless steel.

Performance/Ratings

Most reviews of the Indesit focus on its economy and discuss whether any problems with the washing machine are due to its low price. Some reviewers feel that the low price is balanced out by the necessity of calling a repairman to fix the washer any time it does malfunction; any money you save on the washer is subsequently spent on service calls. Others, however, have had no problem with their washer, and have therefore had no need to spend money on service calls.

Other reviews have focused on the puzzling arrangement of the owner’s manual, which spends ten pages instructing the owner on the use of the machine before ever instructing the user on the proper way to install the machine for use in the first place. Some reviewers point out that the use of the controls is not self-explanatory; you need the instruction manual to work out simple functions of the machine. Reviewers point out that the machine runs quietly and last long enough to more than pay off the investment.

Popular Indesit Models

Indesit washing machines comes in more than twenty different models. Each of these is only slightly different from the others, offering an extra cycle or a different setting from the others. Each of the models has an A energy rating, meaning that they meet the highest standards for energy efficiency. Finally, all Indesit machines are front-loading types.
