ALDI Stirling SFLW10 10kg (Jun, Nov 2021)

The first and biggest let down from Aldi – Purchased from aldi a month ago or there about. Shakes so bad during spin cycle I wouldn't dare stack the dryer on top. Doesn't dispense the napisan from dispenser into the load even when prewash selected. (Photo included just taken after load with prewash selected) Rinse and spin/drain is hit and miss. One load will come out dry enough to go in… Read more

dryer, next 4 loads will require a respin even though original load was put on Max spin. Doesn't rinse properly. Use same detergent I always have with my front loader, selected extra rinse and still left with suds (see photo) Spend the extra $ and buy something decent peoples. There's no water or electricity savings to be made with the high ratings when you have to rewash because the soap hasn't gone in or respin due to it not draining the water properly or re'rinse due to it not rinsing. This is like a government saying they gonna give you $50 to put towards your bills, then your bills go up buy $50.

Have had really good reliability from Stirling front loader machines – Bought this machine after having an earlier Stirling front loader model for 12 years with zero problems. So far so good with this machine too. Very quiet (apart from when the drain pump runs). This one doesn’t allow you to add extra water but it seems to do an ok job automatically. And you can’t permanently change the default spin speeds of 800… Read more

rpm, so have to manually dial up extra spin speed every wash if you want that (two or three button presses). Otherwise an excellent machine.

Washes well but missing part in detergent drawer? – Washes well but I find the compartment with the washing liquid seems to be missing a small blue part. When I pour my laundry liquid into the wash compartment it flows directly out the back and doesn’t stay in the detergent drawer like the softener in the softener area. It shows a small part in the manual for cleaning the drawer but seems to be missing it in the drawer when I got it? Show details

Yet to see – So......I was thinking of purchasing a Stirling 10 KG washing machine on sale, from Aldi as of this Saturday. As with many purchases I have made over the years I decided it was important to look into the availability of servicing and spare parts as a contingency in case of future breakdowns. I rang up Stirling customer support to find out if they… Read more

had a business in Toowoomba that would service the machine in case even a small part been needed such as a switch, drive belt etc. The problem is....................they could'nt or would'nt answer the question for me! Now, when you purchase something of moderate or high value you would naturally expect some kind or assurance of support both for immediate or future complications, this was not given with my phone call to the suppliers of Stirling Appliances Australia this morning. Well...............considering the response, I am left having to seriously evaluate the intended purchase while comparing parts availability with the larger companies such as those serviced by Electrolux Australia (Westinghouse, Simpson etc) who have long established service agents in the Toowoomba area.

10kg Front Load Washing Machine from Aldi/Stirling – Four months in and loving it! A 10kg machine for $499 and 1400rpm spin speed with good looks thrown-in:-) It is a heavy machine to transport but it's super stable on the spin cycles because of that. No house shake to deal with, I bought anti-vibration pads for the feet but returned them as they were unnecessary. Clean, bright clothes all on cold… Read more

water. I only wish that a couple of the programs were more adjustable and the 1400 spin speed didn't leave the clothes scrunched up although this isn't an issue on the 1200 spin speed. A new wi-fi model (STR-FLW 10 W) is soon available from Aldi with a better Energy rating, still with 3 year's warranty...awesome.
