Reviews of the Indesit IWSB 50851 washing machine

In search of a cheaper washing machine, potential buyers often come across the Indesit IWSB 50851 washing machine. The Indesit IWSB series washing machines are indeed very affordable, but there are persistent rumors about them that they are extremely unreliable equipment. Moreover, there are even statistical data from which it is clear that Indesit machines more often than others end up in service centers with various breakdowns in the first 3 years of operation. Let’s ask the owners of these washing machines how accurate these data are.

Positive opinions

I am quite pleased with this washing machine, because it cost me very little, and it washes very well. I only washed it 10 times, so I won’t tell you much, but the overall impression is favorable. The machine is quiet and has many optimal programs that allow you to wash problematic clothes. I respect the “Sport” mode most of all.

I also like the mode that allows you to wash clothes in 15 minutes. If there is not much dirt, it fits well.

The machine works great, I’ve been using it for six months now, and I use it specifically, I run it about 2 times a day. We bought it after the birth of the baby, with a small child and without a car it is impossible at the present time. I use it to wash diapers washing powder “Eared nannies” and set the “Hand Wash” mode. The drum load is small, which, in principle, does not cause problems; after all, five kilograms is enough. I haven’t tried washing large items like jackets yet. I give five points to good technique.

A year ago I started a small family business. In the extension to the house, which has a separate exit, I installed a small self-service laundry. My husband and I bought six Indesit IWSB 50851 washing machines, connected them ourselves, purchased consumables, and put them to work.

For the first two months there were few customers, but over time the number of people began to pour in so that the machines were, in essence, constantly in use. We have a large student dormitory nearby, so when students found out that they had a laundry nearby, they began to come to us constantly. Business is doing very well now. During the year, one of our six machines broke down, and we managed to fix it free of charge, under warranty. The master completed the job in 1 hour and the machine began to make a profit again.

I saw a lot of unflattering reviews about Indesites on the Internet. They often write that they are unreliable and break quickly. But in practice I found out that these machines are no worse than others, and in some ways even better, since it is easier for our clients to handle them. And their controls are very simple.

I have been using Indesit machines for 17 years. Actually, I only had two of them during this time. The first one worked for 15 years, after which I sold it for parts, although it could still work. I purchased this model 2 years ago and wash it “for the love of my soul.” Judge for yourself, the machine:

• easy to use;
• costs a penny;
• it rarely breaks, but even if it does, it is inexpensive to repair;
• does not have unnecessary commercial bells and whistles that only mislead the user and nothing else.

Negative opinions

Tatiana, St. Petersburg

Disgusting, terrible machine. I can’t think of any censored epithets to describe this crappy technique.Smart people are right when they say: “The miser pays twice.” Here is another confirmation of this wise rule. Personally, my machine worked for a month and a half, and then its engine burned out. I called a specialist, he said that repairs cost 2/3 of the cost of an Indesit machine, so here you have cheap equipment. In the end, I gave the machine away for spare parts and bought myself an LG machine.

I have a very warm relationship with Indesit machines. Our old Indian worker worked for us for 14 years, without a single breakdown. A year ago, I decided that it was morally outdated and the machine needed to be changed. I bought Indesit of this model, and gave the “old lady” to my homemade husband to be torn to pieces, he made a feed crusher out of it in a week.

The new machine turned out to be terrible, I would have been better off keeping the old one. The quality of the washing cannot be expressed, it feels like the machine is not doing anything with the laundry, it remains dirty. Some programs freeze after starting the wash, and some do not work at all. Maximum deuce for a new model.

The “Sport” mode always freezes in the third minute of program execution.

Svetlana, Novosibirsk

Two months ago I fell for the persuasion of the seller, who sold me this machine. When I saw the price tag, I melted, but I had to think with my head. The washing machine seems to work, but the quality of washing, spinning and rinsing is simply terrible. I wonder whether modern washing machines can work so disgustingly. In my opinion, if I had simply soaked the things in a basin of clean water for 30 minutes, and then slightly “wiggled” them with my hands, the effect would have been better. Friends, don’t trust sellers, think with your own heads!

Yana, Kaluga

My mother has had an Indesit machine for 7 years, and she is happy with it.I also decided to save money and when my husband and I finally moved into a new apartment, I bought a washing machine of this model. As a result, in a month of communication with this “assistant” I found out the addresses of all service centers in the city of Kaluga. Because when the machine broke down, they started kicking me from service to service. And everywhere they said that they would not repair the car for free. Like, bearing failure is not a warranty case and stuff like that. You'll have to hire a lawyer.
