Indesit IWUB 4085 Washing Machine Reviews

Those looking for record savings on appliances often consider the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine, as well as the CIS model. The slim Indesit IWUB 4085 automatic washing machine typically costs no more than $200. Needless to say, similar machines from competitors cost no less than $230-250, so the savings are obvious. The only problem is that potential buyers are often deterred by rumors about the unreliability of Indesit machines. Should these rumors be trusted?

We got a really good deal on this washing machine. It's never idle; it's been washing every other day for two years now. The controls are simple and easy to use, and I often select the "Quick Wash" mode. I also like the "Shoes" mode. My previous washing machine was ruining clothes, so I got rid of it. This one doesn't, and it's very gentle on them. It's not particularly noisy, but it's not quiet either—it's just fine. It fits perfectly under the kitchen countertop, so we didn't even have to redo the cabinetry. My family is happy!

Cheap, narrow and unpretentious. From the previousBosch WLG 24060 OE washing machine There were some issues, like the inlet filter constantly clogging due to impurities in the water. The Indesit doesn't have those issues. The machine wobbles a bit during the spin cycle, but the housing compensates for the centrifugal force quite well. It hasn't broken down in six months, so it's a good washing machine.

Low price, manageable load capacity, and decent wash quality. Basically, you could dream of a machine like this. I can't comment on the quality yet, as I've only had it for five months. The range of programs is satisfactory, it’s nice that you can wash shoes in this machine; I used to think that shoes can’t be washed in automatic machines at all. There's a delayed start, which I sometimes use; you can choose the time. Overall, it's a good technique.

I won't say much about this washing machine, as you can find plenty of praise online without my review. I'll list the pros and cons of this washing machine separately. I'll start with the positives.

1. A really, really low price. I managed to snag the machine on sale for a whopping 35% off.
2. It fills with water quietly, washes quietly, and the spin cycle is not noisy.
3. It doesn't bounce, and I didn't put any rubber mats under the car. It sits right on the linoleum, albeit level.
4. A decent selection of programs. For any occasion.

Now I'll say a few words about the downsides. Keep in mind that I've identified these shortcomings for myself, so some may find them subjective.

• The powder compartment is inconvenient, or more specifically, the layout of the compartments.
• There's no way to wash clothes without spinning. And you have to wash things that can't be spun.
• The waste filter is located quite low, making it inconvenient to drain the water.

My overall impression is positive, and considering how much I paid for this equipment, it's absolutely fantastic. I'm as happy as a cat with sour cream.

Negative

I bought this washing machine for my son for his dorm room. He's in college and shares a room with two other guys, so he absolutely needs a washing machine. It seems pretty good, but the risk of breakdown is very high, as even the appearance of it is unreliable. I probably shouldn't buy this machine for home use.

My grandmother bought this washing machine two months ago, and now we've managed to return it to the store after pressuring the salesperson. The quality is simply terrible; it barely works. I have a friend who works at a large appliance store, and he advised me to get rid of the machine as soon as possible. The manufacturer has no conscience, and it's not nice to deceive the elderly.

Lyuba, Moscow

At first, the machine washed well, and I was happy that I'd gotten a decent machine and saved money. I decided to buy it after reading customer reviews I'd found on a website. Three months later, the machine suddenly started smoking, giving me a terrible scare. Luckily, I was nearby and quickly unplugged it. Now I'm a bit wary of Indesit appliances and will never trust them again.

A dumb washing machine with far-fetched characteristics. It works terribly; when the drum is spinning, you can clearly hear metallic clanking and knocking. I suspect I'll soon be faced with some expensive repairs. Well, as usual, you save money on the car, but you'll have to spend the same amount on repairs. To substantiate my claims, I'll tell you about its flaws.

1. The powder is difficult to wash out from inside the tray.
2. You select some programs, but you can’t start them because the washing machine freezes.
3. Loud knocking and other extraneous noises during operation.
4. The drum holds little laundry.
5. The washing quality is very low.

I don't know how you'd take this, but I was very disappointed with the purchase. I was so upset I even wanted to throw it away. Now I'm selling it on an online flea market, hoping I can get some money back.
