Westinghouse LT609SA

Well, so far I've beaten you all! I have had this one for 22 years and its still going, as in right now i can hear it!! Awesome buy!

Wish I had never bought it – The lid has cracked in the corners again - this is the second time I will have to replace the lid. Have to assume the glass is too heavy for the quality of the plastic used. Have to use liquid soap as powder never gets dissolved properly. Hot washes cause black muck on the clothes. The 6kg size is good

Good – We generally expect our white goods to last 8 to 10 years, feeling that this is a reasonable return on the investment. This machine is about 4 years old now and I'm not completely convinced that it will stand the test of time. That said it does what it's supposed to do. It does a reasonable job considering the rigourous use it's put to keeping our family of 6 well laundered. I particularly like the choice of three water levels on the control panel. The plastic frame of the lid started to crack in the corners, but it was replaced quickly under warranty.

Excellent – It's the best machine I have ever used regardless of advanced models which can detect clothes' types provided by other manufacturers, just a bit noisy than usual in relation to non-top loader washing machines. The type of buttons used are excellent The plastic gets out from some parts around the lid, also the plastic around the cylinder was not processed well. the plastic started to look like soap or foam and the whole engine has to be replaced.
