Looking at buying a Washer Dryer, seems to be a good deal on this site? Indesit IWDD7123 7kg Wash 5kg Dry 1200rpm Freestanding Washer Dryer - White | Appliances Direct

 

Anyone ever used them (or their other companies including laptops direct?)

 

As a side note, anyone have experiences with washer dryers in general? How dry do they actually get the clothes etc

I bought my washing machine from them. Arranged six month interest free credit with no issues and got the machine promptly when arranged.

 

They're a bit spammy about extended warranties but that's the only niggle I have with them.

 

Don't know what their after sales is like cos I've not used it

I've used Laptops Direct in the past and been great and fine but not used in recent times.

I used to have a washer dryer - main problem with them is that you start the dryer bit off in an environment that is generally wet - therefore you waste energy drying the drum and stuff

 

I have always found the dedicated dryers perform better - but obviously take up room

 

Also I have spoken to repair people that reckon that the washer/dryers tend to be less reliable than washers and dryers

 

ymmv

It's always worth putting the clothes through an extra spin cycle before tumble drying them.

Never heard a bad word about them, alot of people recommend ao.com also.

I bought a fridge freezer from them had no problems with it touch wood. Main site is very close to me. i would recommend them.

Ta people, as it turns out there's a better model available available at ao that i've found, but always good to ask around.

@mikeprice , space is the main reason we are looking for a washer dryer, only got a smallish 2 bed house.

 

It's also a new build, and drying in winter is a pain, because the radiators are tiny, and the house stays quite warm anyway even in the dead of winter without the heating hardly being on, but that doesn't dry the clothes!

Recommendation for ao.com over here! Fantastic service, really really good delivery service

if your drying on rads dont forget to get the windows open otherwise youll end up with black mold somewhere, due to condensation
