Third-party reviews

What customers like about Indesit BI WDIL 861485

  • 16 wash programs give plenty of choice for different fabrics.
  • Twelve drying programs let you match the dryer to each load.
  • The inverter motor runs smoothly and wears less over time.
  • Spin noise of 70 dB keeps the final spin calmer.
  • A combined cycle uses 65 L of water, which keeps water use low.
  • Automatic drying saves you setting each dry by hand.

What customers don't like about Indesit BI WDIL 861485

  • Washing noise of 70 dB is loud during the wash.
  • No time remaining indicator, so you cannot see how long a cycle has left.
  • No child lock, which matters in a home with small children.
  • No delay start, so you cannot set a wash to run later.
  • The fast cycle takes 30 min, so it is not very quick.

Verdict

Anyone who washes often and likes to pick settings will find the Indesit BI WDIL 861485 a good pick, with 16 wash and 12 drying programs. It stands 81.5 cm high, with an 8 kg wash load and a 6 kg dryer. The 58 L drum has room for bulky items. Water use is one of its strengths: 65 L for a full wash and dry, against 48 L for a wash alone. Spin noise is 70 dB, but washing is just as loud. A few useful features are missing. There is no time remaining indicator, no child lock and no delay start, and the fast cycle takes 30 min. It suits a family in a small kitchen that wants plenty of programs without needing extras.
