I saw this machine a while ago and wasn't impressed at the price of it. Which? just recently tested it and rated it pretty well - but no higher than the equivalent Beko machines which were £200-250 cheaper. So, what's the point of buying one? There isn't one really in my opinion, but no doubt some people will because they won't know any better.
ISE CI555WH
ISE (International Service Engineering) entered the crowded washing machine market in 2006 with this 1500 rpm spin speed.
The company was foundered by a group of ex-washing machine service engineers when they got fed up with repairing the machines.
This model isn’t a bad first attempt and only just falls short of being a Best Buy. There’s a respectable choice of programs including a delay start function which allows to you take advantage of cheaper electricity tariffs such as Economy 7 at night.
Cleaning is good on the standard 40 degrees and easy care cycles and the short wash is excellent. The short wash is nearly 1 hour 10 minutes quicker than the standard program. On the easy care and short wash programs rinsing was satisfactory. However we found the on main 40 degree cycle rinsing was a let down.
Running costs are low due to good energy and water use, but it’s noisier than a lot of other models we’ve tested. At the moment we don’t have enough information on ISE to make a judgement on their long-term reliability, but ISE provide a free five-year warranty for parts and labour which is better than many other manufacturers
Pros: Good cleaning, excellent short wash, free five-year warranty, delay start
Cons: Noisy, poor rinsing on standard 40 degree program
