After 2 weeks of use the machine would make a loud banging noise from the back. Service man from Simpson came out promptly and advised that they would simply replace with a new machine. Noise was possibly the drum. Within a week our new machine was delivered and no problems since. The water is added to the machine in bursts over a few minutes at the start of the cycle which can be loud through the house as the taps are turned on and off quickly. Overall though we are happy with the machine. You can vary the programs to your needs.

Great mcahnine for large items such as bed quilts. I can fit in a queen size Dooner. I would have liked to have a cake where you can soak a wash. There does not seem to be an option for this. Otherwise a variety of washing options are available, all which give a good wash. The ability to set and delay washes is a good feature

Washes everything well. Bought it to replace an unreliable and very expensive to repair Speed Queen.
Can't understand why they won't implement something to avoid water hammer. Well-known problem over many years, solutions available (not turning off the water abruptly or using a water hammer arrestor) but not implemented. Why?

Cons:
Can't change the water level for the quick wash
only very small time duration (+/-) adjustments to default times available
very bad water hammer for a few minutes at the beginning of a wash.

I like to known brands, that's why i bought a Simpson, Probably also because my mother owned a simpson washing machine when i was young. good solid dependable brand, will work for years without breaking, Only issue i have is top loaders use more water than front loaders, if this is an issue, choose a front loader in their range. Otherwise you'll be happy and worry free with your purchase.

The control panel is not consistent. Sometimes when you press it to change your selection it doesn't recognise your touch and the start/pause button doesn't always work. I have to turn the machine off and start again and then try another cycle to see if the touchpad will work. It can take me five or six goes just to get the touchpad to recognise a cycle and then the start/pause won't work and then we have to start all over again.

The Simpson 10kg replaced our old Simpson 8 kg which was about 9 yrs old. The new machine is much quieter even during the spin cycle. The new detergent mixing method stops leaving residue on the clothes as would often happen with the old machine. For a good quality washing but not top of the line machine at a low price this washing machine fits the bill.

We got this model.being a 10 kilo washer for our family of 4.
Has many different settings for different washing types/settings. Even has a quick wash setting if youre in a hurry and can even remove the spin cycle on any setting if you wish. Eco wash setting available if youre that way inclined. Has time adjust/delay start . You can save a favorite wash setting if you like. Also has alock feature. Soft close lid is great and top of lid /machine is a toughened scratch resistant glass.

Bought 26th December, delivered 27th Dec and several loads through machine 27th and 28th Dec without any issues, then on 29th Dec no power to machine at all - won't turn on and tried everything (powerpoint tested OK with other appliance). Disappointed to say the very least, spouse even more so !

14.11.2017 I purchased SWT 1043 - 25.11.2017 it flooded my laundry floor. Sent to be repaired, could not be repaired. 10.12.2017 replaced with a another SWT 1043 - 10.12.2017 - this machine also has failed. Have taken back and replaced with a different brand of washing machine. Very unhappy with the machine and all the inconvenience that has occurred due to faulty workmanship.

After owning this washing machine for only 9 months the hose from the inlet valve (inside) to the tub has split, so when we attempt to do a load of washing the only thing that gets wet is our floor. Spoke to Simpson (Electrolux) and they suggest we get in contact with their local service agent. Local service agent suggested we bring the machine in to get it fixed, as it would be quicker than waiting for them to come out. So because Simpson use inferior or faulty parts we have to wait or arrange delivery and then try and redeem any costs incurred, contrary to what ACL states. Previous Simpson washing machine has gone 10 years without issue, this one 9 months and now we have to deal with the buck passing.

Washes cloth perfectly & spins dry well so no need to leave on line to long. Much quieter than the old Whirlpool Cabrio. 2 favourite features are being able to set water height & a lint filter that is missing in most other brands. (Lift cap off agitator then pull out inner plastic shaft to access & empty lint filter bag) Works Perfectly. Also like the Manual that identifies error codes and gives information on possible self fixes. If not fixed then you can give the repairer the code and they now what's wrong. Purchased from Harvey Norman & they installed the machine and took the old one & packaging away.

The secret is to read the instructions thoroughly especially the use of fabric softener . I did not and initially got bad resukts such as fabric softener not dispencing. The machine is now working as expected. It washes well and does not seem to wear out clothes. It’s not quite averafe the mouse is average.

Great washing machine.. really big and very quiet. Bought at jb hifi for a good price. Cleans clothes very well and uses minimal powder for such a large machine. Replaced an older machine that was as loud as a cat in a mincer so it is blissfull silence when doing washing now

delivered 3 days ago, used it a few times now in different cycles, doing a wonderful job even on grimy cloths like work Jeans.
the 10 kl is great too, already washed a very large bed throw, and washed up wonderfully, I like the way the wash powder is mixed before it hits the cloths. all round Im very pleased . and hope it last's as long as my old Fisher /p of 17 years.

I love this washing machine. Have owned it for about a month. It is quiet. It has an auto water level function that senses the correct water level per load. Uses minimal detergent. My clothes come out smelling and looking clean unlike previous machines. Has a variety of wash functions from speedy 30mins, bedding, handwash option and heavy duty. Highly Recommended.

Purchased the machine in June. Hasn't worked properly since the day we got it. Basically the touch buttons don't recognise your touch. Can't change settings, can't even start the machine. Walk away come back 30 minutes later & hey presto it works. EVERYDAY we have this problem...EVERY DAY rang Electrolux today (Frid) - poor product knowledge to say the least..lady in customer service say why don't you ring the manufacturer? Well I would if I knew what was wrong with it...Repairman can't visit until next Tues...just fantastic. Expect MUCH MUCH better.

I have a mix of requirements for a washing machine: Office clothes, horse rugs and saddle blankets, paddock work clothes etc. Being on tank water I also need water efficiency. The Simpson meets these requirements and I have had no problems with the quality of the wash.

In terms of controls I do not use automatic setting. I reckon the day I cannot estimate how full the tub is should be the day I forget to breathe. Having said that the manual settings are easy to use.

In all I would recommend this to anyone.
