Our old machine broke on a Sunday and we had the replacement by the Tuesday (it would have been Monday if I'd ordered before noon). This was an upgrade replacement for a 10 year-old washing machine, also an Indesit. We opted for a washer-dryer to add a bit of versatility and reduce our use of radiators to dry clothes during the winter months. However, while the washer is fine (we're particularly pleased with the 30 minute 30° wash) the dryer is by no means as efficient as a stand alone model. Some if the washing cycles are also extraordinarily long, so keep this in mind if you want to use eco cycles. All in all we're pleased.
