Reviews of the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine

Those who want to save a record amount on purchasing equipment often pay attention to the Indesit IWUB 4085 washing machine, as well as the model with the CIS prefix. The Indesit IWUB 4085 narrow automatic washing machine usually costs no more than two hundred dollars. It seems unnecessary to say that similar equipment from competitors costs no less than $230-250, which means the savings are obvious. The only problem is that potential buyers are often scared off by rumors about the unreliability of Indesit machines. Should we trust these rumors?

We managed to buy the washing machine at a really good price. Now it doesn’t sit idle with us, for the second year now it has been washing every other day. The controls are simple and convenient; I often select the “Quick Wash” mode. In addition, I like the “Shoes” mode. The previous machine spoiled things, so I got rid of it, this one doesn’t spoil things, it treats them very carefully. Not to say that it is noisy, but not quiet either - normal. It successfully fit into the kitchen under the countertop, so we didn’t even have to redo the furniture. My family is happy!

Cheap, narrow and unpretentious. From previous washing machine Bosch WLG 24060 OE there were problems, the inlet valve filter was constantly clogged, since the water contains impurities, Indesit does not have such problems. The machine wobbles a little when spinning, but otherwise the body compensates for the centrifugal force quite well. It didn’t break during six months of use, so it’s a good washing machine.

Low price, tolerable load and normal washing quality. In principle, you can dream about such a machine.I won’t say anything about the quality yet, since I’ve only been using the washing machine for 5 months. I'm satisfied with the set of programs, it's gratifying that you can wash shoes in this machine; I used to think that you couldn't wash shoes in machines at all. There is a delayed start, which I sometimes use; you can choose the time. Overall, good technique.

I won’t say much about this machine, since you can find a lot of laudatory speeches on the Internet without my review. I will list separately the advantages of this washing machine and the disadvantages separately. I'll start with the advantages.

1. Very, well, just a very low price. I managed to get the washing machine on sale with a crazy 35% discount.
2. It draws water quietly, washes quietly, and the spin cycle is quiet.
3. Not bouncy, and I didn’t put any rubber mats under the machine. It stands right on the linoleum, albeit level.
4. Normal selection of programs. For any occasion.

Next I’ll say a few words about the disadvantages. Please note that I highlighted these shortcomings for myself, so to some they may seem subjective.

• Inconvenient powder receptacle, and more specifically the location of the compartments.
• There is no way to wash things without spinning. But you also have to wash what you can’t wring out.
• The garbage filter is located quite low, so it is inconvenient to drain the water.

The overall impression is positive, and if you consider how much money I paid for this equipment, then everything is great. Satisfied, like a cat that has eaten too much sour cream.

Negative

I bought this machine for my son’s dorm. He studies at the institute and lives in a room with two guys, so he can’t do without a washing machine. It seems to be good, but the risk of breakage is very high, since even in appearance this washing machine is unreliable. Perhaps you shouldn’t buy such a washing machine for home.

Grandma bought this washing machine two months ago, now we somehow, by putting pressure on the seller, returned it to the store. Simply terrible quality, the washing machine practically does not work. A friend of mine works in a large household appliance store, and he advised me to get rid of the machine as quickly as possible. The manufacturer has no conscience; it’s not good to deceive the elderly.

At first, the machine washed well, I was happy that I was able to use normal equipment and save money. I decided to buy it after reading the customer reviews that I read on the selling website. Three months later, the washing machine suddenly began to smoke, frightening me terribly. It’s good that I was nearby and quickly pulled the machine out of the socket. Now I am afraid of Indesit technology and will never trust it again.

A dull washing machine with far-fetched characteristics. It works terribly, when the drum spins, a metallic clanging and knocking sound is clearly heard. I suspect that I will soon run into expensive repairs. Well, here, as usual, you save on buying a car, and you’ll pay the same amount to repair it. In order not to be unfounded, I’ll tell you about her “shoals”.

1. The powder is difficult to wash off inside the tray.
2. You select some programs, but you cannot launch 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 would take it, but I was very disappointed in the purchase. Out of grief I even wanted to throw the washing machine away. Now I’m selling it on an online flea market, maybe I’ll be able to get back at least some pennies.
