Hi,
My partner has recently purchased a Bush washing machine from Argos. I have taken a good look at this machine and can see that it is fairly well made. The machine itself is Made In Turkey. I though it was a Chinese made machine part of the Hair line but its not by the looks of it.
It is fairly quiet but a few things I don't like about the machine is:
1. The machine takes ages to do a cotton wash
2. The motor is quite audible - perhaps the same as the latest generation Indesits, its slightly noiser compared to my AEG.
3. It is FAR TOO fussy with balancing loads. I cannot believe that it has such low tolerences with the loads. The washing maybe slightly out of balance and the machine will stop the drum and rotate the other way and then try the spin again, on one point it did this up to 14 times - This in turn prolongs the cycle. The machine suspension is obviously not strong enough to deal with more severely out of balance loads which is maybe why the sensor is set this way - who knows. One thing is that it is annoying. One thing I am glad about is that my AEG Lavamat just gets on with the spin even if it does occasionally bang, the machine is well made is it can withstand out of balance loads.
4.The quick wash is only 33 mins, the wash is only around 8 - 10 mins, don't know how this is going to get the clothes clean.
5. The machine is an unknown brand so don't know about reliablilty on this machine.
Anyone got any experiences of Bush machines?
