Third-party reviews

What we like about Indesit IMA 864 MY TIME IT

  • 42 kWh per 100 cycles keeps power use low.
  • The fastest cycle finishes in 15 min.
  • A 1400 RPM spin removes water quickly.
  • Load balancing keeps the drum steady during spin.
  • The 50.8 cm depth suits a tight kitchen.
  • The 15 programs include shirt, duvet, baby care and wool cycles.

What we don't like about Indesit IMA 864 MY TIME IT

  • There is no Wi-Fi connection, so the machine cannot be run from a phone.
  • No AquaStop system means there is no built-in leak protection.
  • Spin noise of 76 dB is loud at the end of a cycle.
  • Spin-drying class C leaves clothes a little damp.
  • There is no automatic dosing, so detergent is measured by hand.

Verdict

Quick washes are the point of the Indesit IMA 864 MY TIME IT, which also keeps power use low. It uses 42 kWh per 100 cycles, and the fastest cycle finishes in 15 min. Its 50.8 cm depth fits a tight kitchen, and its 60 kg weight keeps it steady during a spin. Its 8 kg capacity and 54 L drum suit daily washing for a couple or a small family. The trade-off is the spin, which runs at 76 dB, and class C drying leaves clothes a little damp. The display and spin speed selection let you pick how each load runs, and the time remaining indicator shows progress. It suits a busy household that wants fast washes and low energy use, and does not need Wi-Fi or online programs.
