What do you hate about your Daily Driver/Dream machine?

Where do I start

I love washing machines but there are things that really ennoy me! However, I won't bore you all with them so I will pick out one of my pet hates which has also been mentioned.

Faffing distributions and spins aaarrrrh

My Miele has got it right I think, but most other machines can be a nightmare. Distributing for ages, a short burst here, a short burst there. A rest, a spin, it's endless. Even the older machines. My mums old 95 series hotpoint, used to spin a short spin at 500 then turn endlessly until another short burst at 500. I can understand letting the water drain inbetween but how long does it take!

Some straightforward spins please. A quick pulse to get heavy water out and then a straightforward step up would be good for me.

That's my moan over LOL

HE3--Good machine overall, but:
Owner's manual is inadequate. It doesn't even explain what the function is of the rear dispenser compartment with that little insert thingy. Nor, does it tell you what happens in each of the cycles.

Not enough water for bulky items like pillows and comforters.

Balance process is extremely time-consumming. After what seems like an eternity of fliping the clothes back and forth, the load still must be perfectly balanced for the machine to ramp up to its highest spin speed, which often doesn't happen.

On Whitest Whites or Heavy Duty cycle, the tumble speed is a bit too slow. Instead of lifting the clothes and dropping them like my Frigemore, it just rolls them into a ball and slops them around.

Just wish appliance maker engineeers would get our input when designing new machines. )
