    We had an indesit as our first machine, it only lasted a year and a half. I swore never to have another cheap one, and we spent more money on a zanussi, which I've now had 3 years and love it. Personally I would try and hang it out until you've got a bit more money, to save yourself money in the long run IYSWIM.

    I'm going for this one...

    on appearance alone, very shallow but I don't care :)

    The above website is the cheapest I've found it at BTW.
  • think I'm going to give the £199 Indesit a go from Comet , can't stretch for any more cash and have a family of 5 so washing is stacking up ....

    Fingers crossed the Indesit lasts a minimum of 3 years

    Thanks for your replies

    I have this one and it's a simple basic model, easy to use. I too am a shallow person as I bought it for its looks too!

    I've had it for 18 months so fingers crossed that it'll last for a bit longer.

    we have owned indesits for many years now. they all lasted approx 7 yrs each.
    one broke and was replaced under warranty for a new one.

    Hi, I had a cheap bottom of the range Indesit and it lasted and cleaned well for six years used about once a day.

    I have an indesit which we got about 3 years ago, it was £200 then and I've had no problems with it.
    Just to win anything would be great!!
