Anybody got one and have an opinion please?

Models F1222 TD and F1247 TD of interest, mainly on discounted price.

Thanks

We've got one called WM12220FD. It hasn't broken yet (had it for 4 years), it's quiet in operation, easy to operate, has a big drum and seems to wash OK.

Thanks Bill. That tells me a bit about the build quality in general.

Cheers :)

Wife has a WM-13220FD, different model but build quality is excellent. It will only be 2 years old at the end of the year but she's very happy with it. Bought from a local company where we buy all out white goods and we trust them. We had gone there for a Meile but this was their recommendation and we don't regret it. It replaced a 21 year old AEG so we were looking for long life and reliability. Only problem we found was with the child lock. Granddaughter can still switch the machine off which interrups the programme.

We have the F1447. We really like it, big drum (8 kg), very quiet (even on full spin). We got a good deal on ours, think we paid about £370 inc delivery, but this included a discount as we originally ordered the 1247 but the delivery time kept get putting back. Ended up getting the 1447 for the same price as the 1247 and free delivery thrown in.

Our daughter likes is as it plays a tune once the wash is finished.

It also calculates how much water it needs and how long to wash per load, based on the washing in the drum at that time.

We have had the machine about 6 weeks now and are impressed.

I've got one too, only problem I've come across is that because of the large output drain size (Large load drum) small items like hankies and forgotten panty liners (yuk) end up in the filter, which tends to block up and necessitate draining and cleaning out the filter from time to time.

Otherwise washes well, and can cope with a double duvet at a push.

LOL!

But you love her. :))

Thanks.

Many thanks. Explains the door at the bottom on the front for quick access. :))

Thanks for this S.

I think we are happy to go for one. Out of numerous reviews everybody was 5* except one elderly lady who may not have removed all the packing before using, or she may have been unfortunate to have been sent a rare box of junk, as hers made a terrible noise from the motor.

Thanks S and everyone. :))
