of the time it will not complete the spin cycle and my clothes are sopping wet. I had a technician come out today who was very rude and said it was my fault for not balancing the load and putting heavy things in there which I can assure you I’m not. If this machine cannot handle regular clothes and underwear in a load it is not fit for purpose. I think the best place for this machine is my curb. Off to research a new machine from a better brand! Stay away! You might be ok with one of these machine but if something goes wrong it’ll be your fault apparently!

My First and Last Westinghouse. I have used front loading washing machines since 1973 (obviously, I must have bought better brands these last 52… Read more

years) but have never had one as infuriating as The Westinghouse Easy Care 300. I never thought to look to see that it only takes in cold water. Who would have even thought of that? We have solar hot water but now have to pay to heat water if desired. The length of times of some of the cycles are st>pid long including rinsing with a spin dry. The only redeeming feature is the 15 minute wash that I put my bath mats in as our little dog pees on them. However the worst feature is the unpredictable, temperamental on off place. Sorry, I wrote button but it is just a marking on the front. Nothing, but nothing helps to start this useless machine. I cannot wait for the day I get rid of it but rest assured Westinghouse will not be on my shopping list. Half a star and that is for the 15 min wash.

Terrible only works on Intensive any other program just throws the crumbs around and they land and dry on the dishes.

Excellent washing machine, very easy to use and looks great.

The only issues I have is not having an extra rinse cycle on the mixed load and other short cycles. Im only using about 1/3 of the recommended… Read more

washing liquid and the clothes come out with residue on them. And also for towels if you do a very small amount of washing liquid and you air dry the towels they come out hard and stiff. I believe this is because I'm either using the wrong cycle or the lack of extra rinse cycle . I would love some advice on how to rectify this . And another thing if you wash 1 or 2 bath mats they don't spin out properly and come out with alot of water still in them.

bought the WSE6100SF in 2013 and it is still going in 2026, that's over 13 years old and still going. Doesn't look like its a good idea to buy westinghouse anymore, they are not lasting long anymore .

fragile. It's ripped / cracked once, and - after a long wait - Westinghouse replaced the door. Now it's happened again in the same way, and I'm awaiting another warranty repair.

Don't know what's happened to Westinghouse's quality of late but I won't make the mistake of buying another of their appliances.

of service (I know... Wow!). After reading countless reviews, it seemed a lot of them contradicted what I have found (maybe some people are over loading it or ... ?), that's why I've bothered to review. Please keep in mind I am a fussy person, as you read my following observations;

PRO's

● No lint or scum left on clothes post wash, cleans as gud as any machine (contrary to other reviews - FYI if U put a Towel in with your clothes, U get Lint!)

● quiet & very little water hammer (not the case for old machine)

●water levels adjustable for all cycles

●Timer countdown accurate (doesn't "take forever" to start filling)

●straight forward operations, whether U read instructions or not

●soft lid close doesn't "take forever"

●great value - $534AUD from GoodGuys, Hectorville, S.A.

CON's

Honestly haven't found any yet, other than the detergent tray was a bit stiff to pull out but seems to be loosening up as I keep using it.

Hope this helps U guys, esp. coz of the contradictions I had found in other reviews.

Quieter than I thought it would be given the bad reviews here. I had an old Westinghouse which was on the way out, so thought would get the same… Read more

brand. We let the fridge sit for 24 hours before turning it on after putting it in place, giving it time any for gases or oil to settle in the compressor. I was told that these potentially get moved around during transportation (especially if the fridge had to be carted horizontally to get it through a door frame, or similar) and that if the liquids/gases are not settled in the compressor, and the fridge is turned on too quickly thereafter, this can lead to damage to the fridge / compressor and possible the noise issues that people have been raising here. The fridge is as quiet as the old one.

I so wanted to like this machine. Spent half a day looking for a suitable replacement for my 25 year old top loader Fisher & Paykel 8.5 kg Smart… Read more

Drive. Only bought the Westinghouse two days ago and already disappointed. Wish I could return it. So many options on the old Fisher & Paykel I could change just by pressing a button....didn't matter whether it was halfway through a wash and I decided to change wash time, water level, spin time, spin speed and it was done! The quickest wash I can do on the Westinghouse is the 20 min wash. Can only use the low water level, which means don't put too many items in. Used the 45 min cycle this morning and can only use the medium water level...wanted to use the full (High) level as was washing two couch covers. There is the 60 min wash which allows full water level.....I like to get washing done in time that suits me. I have never waited for an hour for washing to finish. If I washed anything by hand and wanted to give it a spin at the end.....no problem with Fisher & Paykel....just go to spin and I could stop the spin cycle anytime to take out what was in there without upsetting the thought process of the machine If you want to use the spin and rinse option by itself on the Westinghouse its 35 min. You cannot change anything in the cycles once its starts chosen wash cycle. So my problem is the features and controls....too computerised, and not having any control to change anything once cycle starts I wish someone would start making something that matches the older machines in regards to the controls. I realise all the new washing machines must be the same...surely there is one out there with more manual controls even if machine is automatic. Also read later in the reviews about lint filter not working....the couch covers I washed this morning always left a lot of lint in the F&P lint collector. Absolutely none in the Westinghouse lint filter. A long Review but had I known how disappointed I would be I would have spent more time researching and hoping to find one a bit more to my liking.

Great budget dryer I recommend doing full sun for 30-50min otherwise it could be too hot but it's a great cheap reliable piece of budget dryers ❤️

*Great Quality product *Great Dark Charcoal finish *Super Quiet *Good design pull out drawer for laundry liquid dispense *Separate Power on/off Switch *Great choice of cycles *Easy to empty the water drainage below compared to other machines

Dreadfully unreliable dishwasher. Was delivered with mis-aligned button panel rendering it inoperable. They fixed this under warranty. Failed again… Read more

after 4 years, service claims it needs both drain hose and inlet hose replaced (my plumber had previously assessed it and said only drain hose was the issue). Service quotes repair costs of around 50% of machine value and refuses to install it (i.e. plug it back in and put the hose back) after repairs claiming that is a separate service. I would never buy a product from this brand again. Both the build quality of their product and support provided has been miserable. Machine will now sadly go into land fill as I will replace with another brand.

We are long standing portable induction cooktop users. We had to replace a cheap, no name model after a decade. We used the Choice reviews in 2024 to… Read more

select this model. It does have good features of good relatively low temperature control. It has good increments of power/ heating, and a timer that allows increments of a minute. It has frustratingly little capacity to allow one to take off a pot/saucepan to stir without alerting one to having removed the metal from the cooktop.... I'm talking 1 second! But, the thing that makes this a return for reimbursement, is that it overheats too easily. We've had 2. I replaced the first one after 6 months believing it was faulty. But within a few cooks of the repl, the same thing occurs. I'm talking overheating at 800w! It is not possible to cook with this coooktop, without turning it off and on again. Sorry Westinghouse, this is a fail.

Its all true what other reviewers are leaving on this site. Another reputable site came up with a total score of 59% for this useless 'Aust made'… Read more

piece of ...! There's no doubt about it, actual build quality is great. But whoever was in charge of signing off regarding the default functions needs their head read! I want to be in total control of settings, like Ive always been able to do with previous brand/s Ive had. If I want to use the Fast 20 (default is set to low water level and a max. of low spin only!) or Daily 45 setting (default is set to with a choice of low to mid water level and the same for spin cycle!) I SHOULD be able to add whatever amount of water or whatever spin speed I want! FINAL!! Just like I was able to do with previous machine. I cant understand the purpose of the 'jet' stream of water spraying down on the clothes. What for!? The left jet sprays off to the left a little hitting the top of the drum and sure there is a very small amount finding its way over and down the side. For years Ive been a fan of Westinghouse regarding their other appliances. Without fault. But this thing is inferior! Whats with the violent banging after a spin cycle? Start video at the 30 sec mark.

I purchased this machine after reading reviews on a well known electrical appliance retail site. Product review only now shows 9 reviews. How true these are. This machine when I purchased last week is 2 yo and condition is like new. Just wondering whether previous owner knew something and didnt pass on. Advertised initially for $450. No bites. Then dropped to $250 when I saw it. I did cross my mind why so cheap based on all the 'positive' reviews. My fault, based on reviews on that well known electrical appliance retail store site. Which I'll never trust again!

Had a 10 yo Fisher & Paykel 7.5kg which was still performing well except for, putting up with some decent bearing noise in spin cycle. I think now and what I was always personally going to do...is change the bearings and bring it back inside! Good ol trusty! Guess what? I was able to add any amount of water and choose any spin speed. On a short wash or long. Thanks F & P. See you in the future!

can’t program the water it Dispensers. Someone at Westinghouse has decided that all the cup or mugs Are a set size. Which means you can use the infinite dispense, but you have to stand by the machine so waste time.

It is unreasonable to expect consumers to remove standard oven components when using a self-cleaning function. Very disappointing product quality and unhelpful customer service response.

good quality induction cookware. Must be an overly sensitive safety cutoff. Contacted Westinghouse who seemed disinterested. Returned to store for a refund.

Purchased an ikea portable hob and have had no issues which confirmed for me that it wasn’t anything I was doing wrong.

Also, despite the brand name being Westinghouse, this is imported by a distribution company and is not all that closely related to Australian made Westinghouse products. It’s basically a rebranded generic product which is reflected in its poor quality and performance.

Good freezer, easy to maintain – Ideal size for a house of 2 adults and 2 kids. No frills.

After a lot of investigating we purchased the Westinghouse model WVE6516SD. I did the installation, my electrician connected and issued a compliance… Read more

certificate for warranty requirements. Albeit the height and level adjustments were a bit finicky I achieved a perfect fit into the cabinet using spacers from Bunnings. The Westinghouse instructions were exceptionally good and overall, installation was easy. The two Westinghouse mounting screws are 20mm long and way too short for chipboard cabinets, with added stress due opening and closing the oven door. Westinghouse, this is penny pinching - the length of these screws should be 30mm.

The oven is exceptionally well insulated and there is no notable rise in room temperature with the oven on. No odd odours or any issues. Build quality is also good - in fact, better than many premium opposition brands.

Unfortunately, there is one huge downside. This oven does not display the current temperature at all. It operates totally blind. Unlike many ovens, this one is all about trust, and little else. We made the fatal mistake by assuming that this basic feature would be standard. We now have to rely on the accuracy of the oven thermostat, and an almost unnoticeable tiny green light that goes off when the set temperature is reached. Sometimes, after baking one may want to put the food back into the oven either to cook more or to reheat. Not knowing what the temperature is, the oven may either be too hot or too cold. So one would have to start all over by resetting the required temperature and wait for the green light to go out. It's the most ridiculous and stupid scenario. Also, one has to stand far back to see the green indicator light. Our perception went from disappointed, to flabbergasted and then disgusted.

Called Westinghouse customer care. Their response was that the "missing" feature was only on their premium models with all the bells and whistles. Well we looked at those and were put off as most of these added "premium " options were nothing but slick marketing. Gimmicky features like a self-cleaning ovens and more. And no difference as far as build quality goes. We have learnt from experience that more often than not, more means less and more for maintenance and replacement costs.

Westinghouse service was really good. Initially, the assistant listened intently and was thorough throughout the conversation, taking notes and a promise of a callback. They did call back and again, the assistant was exceptionally pleasant to deal with. She concurred with my sentiments but couldn't offer any recourse but an apology. Even after I had pointed out that had we known, we would never have purchased this oven. In my opinion, a temperature indicator gauge should be a standard feature, on all ovens - full stop.

Ratings. For customer service: 5 Star. For build quality, reliability and installation instructions: 5 Stars minus 3 Stars for the inadequate fixing screws and the missing temperature indicator gauge.

The induction cooktop completely stopped working in less than a week from installation, potentially due to a problem with a sensor (error code E7).

on the temp of the cooktop. According to the manual:

"compatible rangehoods work seamlessly with your induction or ceramic cooktop to clear your kitchen of cooking smells and steam. As you start cooking, the rangehood will automatically turn on then intuitively adjust the fan speed and airflow to match your cooking. How's that for hands-free convenience?"

How is it? Horrible. Constantly changing fan speed when not required. You can empty your pots after finishing cooking, turn rangehood off, put pots back, and it turns fan on again because it's still hot on the cooktop. No steam or fumes anymore, but Westinghouse knows best.

Recommend not getting a matching rangehood.

before that we were happy with that was also a French Door design. I really like the middle draw, which can be used as a fridge or freezer. I've use it once to change from fridge temp to a freezer temp when entertaining, was easy to do and worked really well. Love there are no door handles that stick out in this model, the doors are handleless and instead built in to the door. This gives the fridge a modern minimalistic appearance. Very happy with it so far.
