Broke in less than 6 months. Wrote an email to support as clothes are locked in with it full of water. No one got back to me. Called and was on hold for 10 minutes then hung up on. Called back and was told they will have a repair person (that lives 4 hours away) call me tomorrow to schedule a day to come fix it as we have no way of getting my… Read more

husbands uniforms out of it. You definitely get what you pay for… spend a bit more money instead of buying cheap Chinese nonsense.

CHIQ WASHER DRYER COMBO – This Chiq washer/dryer combo is fabulous! I have had trouble over the last 2 years with high end brands. Got my money back and purchased this one. It's wonderful! Much better than the others, which were faulty. It was a nightmare. I went through 4 faulty washers over a 2 year period!!!....This machine has great settings. Easy to operate. I read… Read more

the entire manual and watched the chiq videos on youtube, so I was well informed. This machine washes well and clothes come out dry. It's so quiet. The spin is quiet, but sometimes it can be very noisy. I take it because sometimes it may be a bit unbalanced? Is that normal? How do I rectify this problem? Other times it's completely silent.....Other than that, it's great..... I have a chiq red retro fridge which I love too. I've had that for 2 years and it's still going strong.

Great value – No faults minus the uneven load sensor which trips often if loads are uneven which causes clothes to come out soaking wet as it reduces spin speed by a huge load.

Great washing machine – I have only used it a couple of times but so far very happy. It’s quiet and it can be set to a short cycle which was important to me.

Perfect! – Another new player/ brand in Australia of approx 5 yrs old. Chiq is from Changhong, which is a very large well establish consumer electronics manufacturer in China. This could be a risky purchase but from a pricepoint & an extended warranty, this couldn't be any worse from buying a reputable brand for double the cost. Boy was i wrong! Pros: … Read more

Fancy oversized front window makes it look the business. Small footprint Emits blue led disco light inside barrel :) Easy to use touch screen ( mind you i haven't even read the manual when operating the mc) Can be run cold water only or 20deg, upto 95degc Can be manually set to spin at 900, 1200 or 1400rpm ( default 900rpm). Minimal use of water. Cons: There's some/ subtle knocking noise when it spins A lot of intermittent water fill noise. This mc does a lot of partial fills. if you've good water pressure, you'll hear it getting fill. I had to turn the tap valve down which did reduced the water flow noise. Balancing. You will need get this perfectly balance with little flat blade spanners under the machine. This is tricky given the gap of 20mm or so. I would advise you buy yourself a door jack from ebay for $10 to save your fingers and frustration because you need 2 hands to lock the nut against the rubber stop. note if it's out of balance, the mc will walk whilst spinning.

Summary: 5Stars, no question asked

can play baby shark with the control sounds – i have just gotten this machine after my previous Beko died, i have been using it for around 12hrs solid while i catch up. quick wash is incredibly fast at 15mins, and it does really get the water out, to the point that clothes feel mostly dry. the ozone setting is quite loud, as is the water fill up process. spinning is dead silent though. it… Read more

also has a black light type of light, so you can see the clothes spinning (which is oddly addictive to watch)

But most of all, if you spin the dial right, you can recreate the baby shark tune. which is a rather strange thing for me to find out in a couple of hours of owning.

So now, while i am so far impressed with the machine, its like a party rave child that i didnt ask for.
