Top-loading washing machines are becoming increasingly popular. They offer a number of undeniable advantages over front-loading models. However, these machines tend to be expensive.

I don't even want to remember how much hesitation I had when buying this machine. How much the salesperson's blood drained, who patiently fussed over me, trying to convince me that this washing machine wasn't bad at all. It's a good thing I bought it after all. What a great washing machine it is.

• The narrow frame allowed me to place it between the sink and the bathtub. A front-loading machine would never have fit there, and there's no other space for a washing machine.
• The laundry is loaded from the top, which allows you to quickly approach the machine and throw in dirty items without bending over.
• This machine washes better than any other I've ever used. It also has a generous 5 kg load capacity.
• Many washing modes.
• The washing machine is almost silent during operation, and it does not jump or vibrate.

My husband installed the machine. He said it was very simple, anyone could do it in an hour tops.

I'm amazed at how quietly the machine works, no unnecessary noise or vibration even during the spin cycle. I am pleased with the availability of the reloading and delayed start functions. At first, I was a bit confused because this machine has its own unique controls, loading the laundry, and adding detergent. But you learn quickly, and now I do everything automatically. The machine has been running smoothly for a year, so I can say it's reliable.

My machine is unique in its own way, being top-loading. You can wash anything in it; in this regard, it's no different from washing machines with a front door. It has a huge selection of modes, and you can throw in forgotten laundry mid-cycle. There's a temperature control knob, so you can set the water temperature yourself.

It's really important for the user to be able to set the water temperature themselves. Many modern washing machines automatically set the water temperature when selecting a program, and it can't be changed. I think this is very bad and affects the quality of the wash. Indesit makes machines for people, I'm convinced of that, and the prices for their washing machines are very reasonable. Five stars!

I'm quite happy with the washing machine. It's been washing for three years now without a problem. It doesn't tear or scrape clothes, and it removes stains well. It's quiet, and its water and energy consumption are reasonable, but the drum could have been bigger. It's a good model.

I bought the washing machine online and returned it the day after delivery. Firstly, the plastic case was significantly damaged; it was likely dropped during shipping. The materials used are of poor quality. In particular, the hatch broke off almost immediately; it appears the plastic hinges were also damaged during shipping. I do not recommend this washing machine.

I read a lot of reviews about this machine on forums and chatted on social media. I kept asking people for their opinions, and the more I did, the more I doubted whether I should buy it. I thought and thought, then gave up and bought it. Oh, I shouldn't have done that. This machine is complete crap, it's the worst I could imagine. The first time I opened the door, the plastic hinge broke off. The door lid practically fell off in my hands, like in a bad Disney cartoon. This washing machine deserves only one place – the trash!

When I started the wash, I heard a loud metallic clanging sound.

I dreamed of a good top-loading washing machine. I bought an Indesit, thinking my dream had come true, but no, it was a complete disappointment. It is impossible to wash large items in this machine. It's very noisy and bounces around. Also, the drum has jammed twice already because the design is poorly thought out. This washing machine gets a two-star rating at most! My mom's machine works. Indesit IWSC 61051 washing machine, so it is 100 times better and more reliable.
