I was *ahem* "lucky" enough to use one of those me
It was easily the worst machine I have ever seen or used. It was one of the delightful electronically controlled brush motor models, and with that THAT drum!
To open the door you had to pull the catch so hard it almost snapped...not hard unsurprisingly. Once you got past the awful plastics it was time to do a wash in the thing. Well when it filled the water gushed onto th door seal, dumping all the detergent there. Right, so that rendered the dispenser completely useless.
As it filled or shut of the valves made the loudest and most rickety sounding *bang* I have ever heard, swore it would end up leaking water everywhere.
Next of course it had to start washing. When it finally managed to get the drum rotating, the lights on the display flickered as it started the tumble. Even when it's full the tumbling isn't quite right, the load just goes round in a big ball rather than tumble freely. Because of the holes in the front rim of the drum it sudslocked like mad on all spins no matter what, just to make the crap rinsing even worse.
Rinse was 3 (4 with extra rinse) and at wash water level, so with no water visible in the drum...niiice.
The door seal was like thin paper, it had a lovely big rip in it. It had a metal outer tub surprisingly, clearly not stainless steel though considering the rust...
I ran it on an empty boilwash when we got there cos it smelled, Because the drum is so badly designed the water barely rippled, so most of the drum wasn't washed, so it still stank lol.
Apart from the fact that every programme is basically the same with the odd tweak or two...I think that is about all I can say about it.
Someone with video's of washers on youtube told me these are some of their favourite machines and that they are fantastic. Maybe my standards are just too high, lol.
