Indesit IWUC 4105 Washing Machine Reviews

The nominally Italian Indesit IWUC 4105 CIS washing machine, like many others, is actually assembled in Russia. This explains both its low price and relatively low quality. Quality is debatable, which is precisely what company representatives do every year, claiming they are constantly working to improve the quality of their products. We won't take their word for it; instead, we'll ask experienced owners about the quality of the Indesit IWUC 4105 slimline washing machine.

Positive opinions

Lydia, Yaroslavl

When I first saw this washing machine on the store shelf, I was both surprised and delighted, realizing that despite my limited financial resources, I could afford it. Naturally, I immediately doubted whether I should buy it. I went online to check people's opinions about it, but there were practically none. I purchased it in 2015; it was a new model, meaning no one had had time to write anything about it.

After scratching my head, I finally decided to buy a "pig in a poke," since I had no choice at the time: either a cheap machine like this, or nothing for at least six months. I waited impatiently for it to arrive and be hooked up. That same evening, I started my first wash.

I was surprised by how quiet the machine was and how well it washed the old pillowcases and diapers I'd thrown in for testing. Honestly, I was expecting a problem, but the more I waited, the more I started to find fault with the machine. I inspected the case from every angle, found a couple of burrs, and immediately realized I'd gotten hung up on it. You can't treat a machine like that; it works, and that's good enough. Overall, I've been washing with this machine for two years now, and so far I haven't found any significant flaws. A+ for the price and quality.

The machine has a very small load capacity - 4 kg, but it’s more than enough for me alone, so I don’t consider this a disadvantage.

What I like most about this machine is its range of programs. There are modes for every occasion. There are 16 of them in total, and about 6 of the modes are designed for a time of up to 1 hour, which is very cool. I've been using this washing machine for a year and a half, and nothing bad has happened to it during this time. I recommend it.

The machine is wonderful, the size is perfect, and we were able to place it exactly where I wanted it. The price is low, the quality is good, and we've been washing clothes in it for a year now. It's quiet and doesn't bounce, and the wash quality is high. It rinses clothes perfectly, but the spin cycle could be better. The drum is also a bit small. I give it a five-star rating.

Natalia, Volgograd

To be honest, the main thing that attracted me to this washing machine was its incredible price. These were the prices for washing machines before the dollar surge. At first, I thought it was a bit suspicious, but after using it, it turned out to be a very good machine. Here are the advantages I've noticed over the past year of using it.

• The programs are very well-chosen. There are long programs for thorough washing, medium programs, short programs, and even very short ones. The shortest program lasts 20 minutes.
• The dimensions turned out to be perfect for my bathroom. The main thing is the cabinet depth is 33 cm; a couple more centimeters and the washing machine wouldn't have fit.
• Low noise level. The washing machine is only audible during the spin cycle.
• The machine spins at a speed of up to 1000 rpm, and the laundry comes out almost dry.

The machine washes well only on long programs, but if you need to refresh your laundry, you can use the quick mode. I'm very pleased with the spin quality, and the machine doesn't leave detergent in the tray, which was a problem with my old one. I highly recommend it.

Alexander, Tolyatti

The negative customer reviews didn't put me off this machine, and for good reason. The technology turned out to be excellent, even though the price is truly ridiculous. The washing machine is quite well built, and I didn't notice any unusual noises during the wash cycle that would indicate an imminent breakdown. It washes well, but it's advisable not to overload the machine; otherwise, the more laundry you load, the worse the washing results. Over the past year, I've tried all the wash modes; I don't need most of them, but a few programs were a pleasant surprise, like "Intensive Wash." I have only good things to say about the machine.

Negative opinions

Elena, Smolensk

I bought this washing machine at the end of 2014. You should have seen how the manager was praising it, saying how wonderful and wonderful it was. In reality, it turned out to be complete crap. The sad thing is, the machine sat in the garage for almost a year, then we washed in it for a couple of months and the bearing started humming. The mechanic advised replacing it right away and not waiting for it to fall apart. He quoted the repair cost, and my husband immediately sent him away, saying he'd do it himself.

He studied the information on the Internet.How to change a bearing in an Indesit washing machine And he got to work. He spent two days fiddling with it, but finally replaced the bearing. After the repair, our Indesita ran for another month and then its motor burned out. My husband said he wouldn't bother with any more repairs and took it to a repair shop to sell it for parts. What a wonderful washing machine.

Maxim, St. Petersburg

This washing machine is simply monstrous. When the drum starts spinning, the clanking is like a forge; it's impossible to stay in the apartment. As the spin speed increases, the clanking subsides, but the machine starts rocking and then jumping around the bathroom like crazy. The optimal speed so that the washing machine doesn’t jump around is somewhere around 600, but is it possible to spin the laundry properly at that speed? Overall, I am dissatisfied with the purchase, to put it mildly.

Elena, Kashira

The machine can only wash small items. If you throw anything larger in the drum, like a couple of sets of bed linen, it won't wash anything. It won't wash outerwear at all, freezing after 10 minutes. This machine isn't suitable for a large family. Firstly, the drum capacity is small, and secondly, the wash quality is unsatisfactory. I've wasted my money; I should have saved up some more!

It fills with water and rinses very noisily, and vibrates terribly during spinning.

Marina, Kaluga

I'd much rather wash my clothes by hand, which is basically what I do. This machine is a parody of a good automatic washing machine. Don't buy it and ruin your nerves. Not only does it not wash, it also works like a jackhammer. Horrible!
