We have been supplying Gorenje products for the last eight years or so. Not bad quality product for the price, they come with a two year warranty. Spares can be a little slow at times is their only real downfall. The WA601111 would be a good buy or the WA60129 if you can stretch a little more. Service is usually carried out by a local service agent.

Now lets have a little common sense here. The Miele top spec models and the ISE10 are top notch machines. Nothing on the market under £500 could possibly be called amazing and for £250 you are in bargain basement territory.

You will only get what you pay for. :wink:

If the machine is correctly sited and level on an even floor then the only reason it will 'shake' is if it is badly loaded. That is usually caused by under loading with heavy items or mixing one or two heavy items with much lighter garments.

If it is on a floating ( floorboards) type of floor then you will get more vibration.

All machines are now cold fill only. The simplest and cheapest way to blank off your redundant hot tap is to cut the end off one of the old pipes and slide off the screwed collar and rubber seal.
Place a 10P piece inside the collar, refit the rubber seal and then screw this back onto the hot tap. :)

You can also buy blanking caps but they will be much more expensive.
