Playing up and shouldn't have to pay exorbitant technician fees - used for less than a year!

published

Great machine initially but only last 3 years

published

We were very happy with machine intially always did a great job, but after only a little over three year of use suddenly the LCD screen stopped working and machine only will pump water in and drain out at the same time and nothing else and are yet to get a reply back from euromaid reguarding our inquiery. Very disappointed in the products poor life span, we expect much more than only three years of use.

Build to last for one year

published

Works well, until it breaks down WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. Took 1 month trying to repair the washing machine, still no solution, Eventually asked for a refund, and Euromaid rejected the request. The washing machine has a major problem with the service and cannot be fixed within reasonable length of time. Beware consumer!

Never had a better washing machine

published

Best washing machine I ever purchased. Always got my 4 boys clothes clean. Never gave me a seconds trouble UNTIL a power surge resulted in the machine actually catching fire. Replaced with exact same machine PLUS a surge protector on the power point. Cant fault new machine any more than previous machine. Fantastic washing machine and very well priced

Unhappy

published

Had the WM7 for 2.5 years, the machine just stopped mid cycle and won't drain. Now when I turn it on just makes a loud grinding type noise. I called 1800 444 357 for assistance and was pretty much told out of warranty and that they can not provide any help. Won't be ever buying the same brand again.

Awesome value

published

I bought mine second hand about a year ago because it was really cheap, I use it approx 3 to 5 times a week. Didn't expect much but it has surprised me. Clothes come out cleaner, drier and softer than any machine I've used. Slightly noisy, but barely moves at all even when spinning a full load, probably because it's so heavy. And I do load it right up. Doesn't rattle either, unlike every other machine I've owned. No issues at all, would highly recommend one.

Loud Noise while washing

published

My washing machine is just 1 Year and 4 months old. I CAN HEAR VERY LOUD NOISE WHILE WASHING THE CLOTHS.
This is one of the worst machine I have ever had, Recommendation NEVER EVER EVER BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP.
MODE: DAILY EXPRESS (40 min wash), exactly at 13 min after finishing the wash and when starts to drain a very loud noise appears.

Not great. Machine broke down second time in 2.5 years

published

Not a great machine. Even when it was working it was hit and miss. Despite never filling the machine full, it would sometimes not soon the clothes properly and would have to run the drain and spin after each wash. Machine broke down but thankfully it was under warranty. Now after 2.5 years of owning it has broke down again - doesn't spin or drain. And 39 minute cycles sticks at 37 minutes and after that doesn't do anything. All other cycles don't work at all. Big disappoint to be paying $$$$$ to get it fixed after owning for just 2.5 years. I've owned other brands I picked up second hand that have lasted a lot longer than this one has!

Better not to buy

published

I bought this washing machine 2 yrs & 3 mths ago. It does not last long I have to say, it was working pretty good before, but now it is broken! The control panel is not functioning properly, after I select a programme, the machine does not fill with water, then it jumps to spin! To repair it, I got a quote for around $300. Now I'm really hesitant whether I should get it repaired or I should just buy a different new washing machine.

Great washing machine

published

I bought my Euromaid WM8 a few weeks ago and no problems at all. It is large capacity uses less water than my 4kg top loader did and I don't really notice the electricity usage as I have solar panels and am in credit during he summer months anyhow.

There are a lot of settings. A cotton wash takes nearly 2 hours which is fairly long time. The daily express takes 28 minutes. It doesn't have a warning bell to say the wash has finished, but its fairly noisy so you know when it is in spin cycle anyhow.

It comes with 2 year warranty so I don't think any issues.

Avoid buying this washing machine

published

I bought this machine from Harvey Norman and 2 months into using it, started leaking water and soap. First it only happened when I washed the sheets or towels, and then gradually every time I used the machine. I had water and soap all over the machine and floor, all the time. I tried lessening washing machine loads, soap, and changed the soap I used from liquid to powder. Nothing worked. I called Euromaid's technician to service the machine, who said to use only half a cup of powder soap and it should stop. It didn't. It's been six months now. I have called Harvey Norman and complained, thankfully they have offered me to come and choose a new washing machine. Avoid this one at all costs.

First time fail

published

Attempted to use this washing machine today for the first time and it is already not working properly.
Water won't drain and it is making a loud buzzing noise. As the water is not draining the cycle won't finish. So my clothes are taking a long bath until I can get it fixed. Even the reset guide in the manual hasn't helped.
I've noticed a few very similar complaints with this machine.

Disappointed in the first run itself

published

Bought this washing machine just today and did the first run without load as suggested in the user manual. Found a water pool around the machine after the first run completed. I think the water is leaking from the bottom as I couldnt see any water leaking out of the hoses. The end dry cycle was too noisy.
inexpensive
water leak, noisy

Go fine

published

Bought it 9 months ago and using in a restaurant. Does 2 packed loads every day.Each load is the longest setting eg 90 degrees, extra rinse etc. Only times it stopped was twice when some plastic got in bottom filter - easy fix. A staff member has bought one for home and no problems after 4 months.
Does the job.
Hard to stop water leaking when cleaning bottom filter.

Machine broke down last month. The designated service provider came out next day. The problem is Euromaid took a month to supply them with the parts. Totally unacceptable!!!!

Motherboard has now gone. After one month waiting told part will be another month to arrive. Brilliant!

Value for money

published

I had this machine for 3 years until our removalists dropped it from a height! Till then never any problems. Used very frequently for our family of 6. Lots of cycles to choose from. 60 degrees can be a bit hard on clothes after a while though. Hand wash cycles was great for delicates. We were very happy with it. No half load option though for small loads.
Price
Some of the cycles take forever but think that's front loaders in general
