Westinghouse LF708B

Fantastic machine – This is a 7kg front load washing machine. I bought it new in 2000. I carted on the back of a truck with me when I moved from Newcastle to Goulburn to Adelaide. It's fully electronic and hasn't ever failed me. It washes the clothes perfectly in about 30 minutes and uses minimal water. The only problem I have ever had has been my fault by pulling… Read more

the things out of the machine in a ball I've slipped the seal off, but it's easy enough to get back on with the right pliers.

I would recommend this fantastic machine to anyone thinking of buying it second hand. I love mine.

Thank you Westinghouse.

Great Easy to use Machine – Have had no troubles with this machine since purchase. Works very well, washes well, very easy to use and all rounder great machine so far! It has many settings which suit washing needs and buttons easy to press and use with dial to choose setting. Not too complicated, washes very well. No troubles at all! :) Its also very quiet and I love the quick wash setting which only takes 30mins. :)

Bad – It takes a long time for a normal wash cycle nearly 2 hours, rapid cycle approximately one and a half hours. It broke down within the first year of use 9Some electrical component in the front panel, then the filter had a foreign object suck in it approximately 2 years in owning it. I have now had it for 5 years and it finally went kaput. It will… Read more

turn on but then the doo lock alarm comes on and wont do anything. Not worth fixing am buying a new front loader, Highly disappointed with this machine for the amount paid I expected quite a few good years of use, and not having to call a service tech so early into the ownership of it. Have also had to replace the hot water hose on it as it leaked around the collar. It has caused my laundry to flood several times cause unknown. The rubber collar (door seal) has ripped in places and maybe this was the cause. Not a product I would recommend on purchasing Cleans clothes well, economical on water usage, gentle on clothes takes long time to wash clothes spin cycle noisy sounds like a aeroplane taking off.

Terrible – the machine washed the clothes beatifully, however i was disappointed with the machine performance because it was always breaking down.... it also took a long time to wash appox 2.5 hrs for a full wash and and hour for a "quick" wash it was a good water saver & wasnt expensive to run the other things that went wrong flooded the laundry a few times… Read more

due to objects being caught in the filter the machine rusted quite badly, and was noisy especially during spin cycle (yes we did take the transit bolts out) - i have reaplaced it with another front loader but have brought an extended warannty plan for it! washed the clothes well, slow, unreliable had several major repairs(broke the bolt connecting the drum to flywheel which was supposedly unbreakable) broke the fanbelt, eventually a drainage pump went so it was unecconomical to repair machine was noisy we expected it to last longer than it did,
