My first Simpson lasted 20 years and I loved it. This was followed by a Whirlpool for the next 20 years, so I thought it time for a new one. My focus was on size and price and the only reason I give this product one star if for those reasons. Why do I hate this machine? Stop start water fill which is unnecessary and bangs pipes, the auto fill where some clothes don't even get wet so always choose manual fill, can't open the lid to see what's happening (check water level etc), can't change mind about cycle once started. Most of all, a quick (ha ha) cycle is 45 minutes!! A normal cycle is more than an hour!! I do 4 or 5 loads on a Saturday. Kiss my weekend goodbye for a stupid bl--dy washing machine. I wished I'd repaired my old machine

This machine won’t allow an override on cycles so that I can change the time, water level or load capacity. Not enough water on auto fill and cycles are too long. Loved my previous Simpson with manual controls this machine is very inflexible . Now it is leaking water when filling and is only 4 months old. All hoses seem to be intact ... would not recommend .

I replaced my wonderful 7.5 KG Simpson EZI washing machine 3 months ago with this useless Simpson 8.0 KG machine.
I find not enough water fills when on automatic, mainly for sheets and towels. I wash in cold water but I can't use the regular wash of 45 minutes as it won't allow me to fill the machine to full, the automatic chooses how much to fill. I have to use a cold water wash which takes 1 hour and 2 minutes, that is crazy for a wash to be that long, a 45 minute wash is great. My previous machine allowed me to choose whichever load I wanted. If I choose a load and decide to change it, it pumps any water which is in the machine out and refills. I am so disappointed with this machine, I would not recommend it to anyone

Have just taken delivery and am very impressed with the ease of operation and function and quality construction. Simpson/Electrolux products are always high quality and a fair price. I will give it some months of operation and will report back.

It has not collected one speck of lint since we bought it two months ago. It is wound too tight and rough with clothes. Clothes are profusely wrinkled after a wash.

Terrible machine! VERY noisy...and after only 18 months the internal hose has split putting water allover the floor. Ill bet it is not a quick cheap fix.... never again! My old washing machine lasted 12 years!! They make them badly now on purpose, so you have to buy new ones. Won't be a Simpson!

We are a household of 6. We wash things from Single bed sets to King bed sheet sets, double bed dooner, kids clothes, delicate clothes, work clothes covered in iron ore dust. Our machine hasn't skipped a beat. Its so easy to use. Controls are very clear and straight forward. I always wash delicates in bra bags but from how I wash my delicates I have had anything damaged. Cycle times are great. We have gone from a front loader to a top loader and I absolutely love it.

This washing machine is large 7kg and easy to use even for the beginner it has 11 settings regular, fast wash, colours, heavy duty, bedding, woollens, drain and spin, cold wash, delicates, hand wash, rinse and spin, all wash cycles take around 100 mins but the fast wash is 40 mins the spin cycle dry clothes amazing and washes clothes great very good washing machine long lasting

Good for the price price range, dose the job! Just remember to un plug it after use, in case of a storm! Washes well . We are very satisfied with it. The lid closes automatically and it a has an alarm that lets you know the load is finished, 8 kg.

not worth reviewing, wish i could take it back, solenoid cuts in and out for auto and eco, if you have strong pressure you get water hammer, 20 min cycle crinkles clothes,45 min cycle auto more clunks and squirts trying to figure out load size, normal cycle to long 1hr +clunks and squirts, if it last 1year i will be surprised with all the automation, wont bother with warranty will chuck out, simpson you have lost the plot, old machines way better.you can figure out a load size .

This is a 8 kg washer - top loader. Simple to operate and I find it an excellent product. Has an agitator which I wanted Very happy that I purchased this washer.

Makes a loud “wa wa” sound during the wash. And when it change cycles it sounds like something is broken. Another thing is you can’t tell at what stage the wash is at. And if you lift the lid and forget to press the start button your wash will not resume.

from Doonas to work clothes the Simpson just keeps on going. It is reliable and was a good price when I bought it. I would consider staying with SImpson due to cost and reliability and it does the job. I can put it on gentle or hard working and it is easy to use.

This Washing Machine was the worst washing machine I have ever owned...the switch inside the lid constantly stuck so machine would not work on ringing Simpson customer service you are put on hold for ages then they are rude and dont seem to care.. had my machine repaired 3 times for 3 different faults and it was only a couple of months out of warranty...sent it to the tip and bought a second hand hoover...Beware of Simpson 800 series..

Simpson never die! Mine is 100 yrs old and going strong, my mum purchased the recent model and I am trying to kill my simpson so I can purchase the new one too, hers is brilliant. But
Mine just won't die. It is fantastic! It has not ruined any of my delicates and it washed our modern cloth nappies with ease.

I have just had my new Simpson 8kg washing machine for approx. 6 weeks. Recently I have notice after I have used the machine, that an hour or so later, there are a few drops inside the machine. I even wiped it down at times after using it. I have put a bowl inside just to see, and yet see a few drops inside hour or so later. Have checked hoses etc.

Recently purchased a 6.5litre Simpson washer for my elderly mother to replace her fault ridden American made washer. Washer easy to use with range of cleaning options. Operates quietly, cleans, rinses and spin dries clothes perfectly. Does not wear clothes out as other washers or leaves stains. Includes a delicates option which is essential. Washer was also very economical compared to other brands. Would not use any other brand in future.

Washes well, only problem most cycles are too long. Can't shorten spin cycle if you only have a few things to spin that have been hand washed. Able to take large loads so not washing as often. You can select a favourite cycle but it takes an hour to do the washing.

Simpson is not what it used to be. The present one's are garbage. The first lasted me one week and it couldn't even handle 3 kg's without the motor screaching. On hearing a recording of the racket coming from it the rep from Retravision gave me a new one. lt too had weird noises coming out of it that l played to the rep again and this time l got a store credit. l now have an LG 8.5KG and so far so good. lt's the old story "You get what you pay for"
Another great brand gone down the gurgler unfortunately.
