OMG!! THE BEST MACHINES EVER!
I've had 3 indesits in my life, the only one that gave trouble was teh first one which died when i was about 3 because of excessive use with bad bearings. It was a brown fascia machine with 2 dials i think
second was same as urs above except it only had 1 button on it. Had a 600rpm spin i think, never gave an ounce of trouble, just worked and worked, is still going 13 years later with NO problems, one of mums friends has it now.
My last indesit was a WG1233T one of the last WELL MADE indesits! I loved it, 2 dials, dorr handle at the top right of the door. That machine is still going nearly 9 years on with no repairs! One of mums elderly friends has it now. We gave it up when we moved in with my step dad as he had a washer dryer!
Thanks for the pics, how long you been interested in machines?
Any chance of a vid of it in action? :-D

ive always been intrested in wasing machines, these are indesits best looking machines and one of the easiest to use, love the sound of the motor, it was always so quiet, unfortunatly i won't be able to make any vids because the machine above belongs to my nanny's friend, my auties one of these machines was the exact same as the one above but six years of continus washing wore the motor out and the bearings went in my nanny's one, they were much better than some of the indesit's being made nowdays.
here's another pic of the machine.

I love Indesit's too, even the love-it-or-hate-it Moon model lol.
My nana who lives down in Somerset has a late 1998 WG1030 model. It's no Miele but it's a very good machine, I love it!
It's a base model with 3 buttons, On/Off, Economy 60C, and reduced spin 1000/600RPM. It features the top-right mounted door handle and it has a 5KG load capacity.
I love seeing it working, alternating between gentle and normal action on the cottons programme while still giving the load a good clean. I love the interesting spin sequence too, it has anti-clockwise spin and it spins in intervals while dropping back down to distribute speed in between which is a neat touch.
The max spin is only 1000RPM but it spins the clothes well.
I love the sounds it makes. The timer, the motor and my favorite, the pump, which makes a really good chugging sound lol. I just love listening to it's pump, it's a great sound!
It's been very reliable, no breakdowns at all!
My grandma has a similar model, the WG820. It's the same as nana's but without a spin reduction button and only 800RPM spin. That too has also been reliable.
Both models have the Servis-style drum, but it has 3 paddles of course!
So, that's my liking of Indesit's for you. They're not all bad lol.
I'll do pictures and vids of them soon!

Omega
We bought an omega 1200 in dec 1994 when our hotpoint washer dryer broke down. It was a quieter than the hotpoint but i remember it being noiser than most other machines! It was the one with the eco sense and the squareish door. In hindsight i liked it because you could stick straight onto the fast spin. Sudslock galore!

...you know guys? This may be that famouse wm known for not having a draining pump...the machine started the spin reversing the wash cycle motor way so that the spinning motor force provided both spinning an drainig contemporanealy!
The customers complaints were such a lot for the demage caused for the incredibile instability of that machine such that Idesit stopped so early producing it
Even previous machine had got a draining pump...so maybe had it been a sctictly economical producer choose!? I honestly don't know...
The same machine has the BIO-step but I don't remeber other than the yellow pushbutton to select the funtion and nothing else.

Hi Diomede and thanks Paul for adding the pic of the L5LGB.
My neighbour had this machine and I used to see it a lot. It was quite violent and would jump around her kitchen as the stability wasn't very good. In fact the sides of the machine were all bowed as the drum bashed against them. It only spun around 400rpm too.
In 1987 it was replaced (on my recommendation) by a Hotpoint 9530. I remember my neighbours couldn't get over how fast it span 1000rpm.

Here is the instruction book for my nan's first washer. She only had it a few years.

Indesit 2000 Series
Oh how those pics bring back memories. We had the Series 2000 machine when it was launched the 2103 with the three dials on as pictured above by RobM. I remember the excitement when it arrived because it was heavily advertised on TV at the time and far more modern looking than much of the competition at the time. It was very noisy indeed but washed well and did 5 deep rinses half way up the door with one 300rpm spin before the last rinse. I think it lasted about 12 years of heavy use before being replaced. Motor and drain pump failed after 3 years but replaced under warranty , drum replaced due to a coin causing damage on fast spin and the door seal was a design flaw on the first production run and was replaced with a new design because clothes were getting caught in the front on spin. It made some lovely clicking noises from the programmer and i do remember the drum was quite big. One of my favorite machines of all time. I'd love to find one in good condition. I loved playing with the spin speed taking it up and down during spinning lol.

Oldschool indesit, that would be nice to put in the collection! I've just retired a 2001 indesit that was my g.fs. It wasnt too hot on washing, i.e it tumbled slow. and strangely the synthetics tumbled more than cottons.Weirdly did a high level cooldown, a high level 1st rinse, 2 low level rinses and a high level final rinse, then loads of pulse spins followed by a brief 1000rpm. It was one of the new logo designed models. See the pic i've attached!
I've love a series 2000 indesit. a friend from primary school had one and i had some of my clothes washed in it when i stayed over a few nights and got in the usual kid mess from playing games in the park etc.

a few months ago my girlfriend and i looked after her parents house for two weeks, they have a WIL163. Which i was really keen on it washed,rinsed and span beautifully! My hotpoint operates very similar to it!
Here are some pics of that, including the ridiculously high water level on the "time for you" programmes and some pics from my indesit file!
