IFB Digital 5 kg

by zabs
(kannur)

I bought this IFB washing machine when my semi automatic machine stopped functioning. My semi automatic washing machine was of the brand Philips I used it for more than 10 years, I bought this washing machine once it broke. This time I wanted a fully automatic one since a semi automatic is quite difficult for washing since it requires manual operation.


I have heard from friends and neighbors that a front load fully automatic washing machine washes clothes more cleaner than semi automatic uploading fully automatic washing machine hence I decided to buy a front loading washing machine. When I went to the store near my town I found this IFB front loading fully automatic washing machine which had a lot of programs and various options.

Now I have been using this washing machine for almost a year and I find it very useful. It cleans clothes very gently and neatly with very little water. There are programs that suites fabrics i.e. delicate wash option where in the fabrics are washed with extra care, doesn't harm your cloth at all. There is an option called eco wash where your clothes will be washed at 60% hot water with very little energy as well as is environment friendly. What ever wash you require you can set the washing machine accordingly and get your clothes very clean.

There is another option, heavy load wherein you could wash thick and heavy fabrics like your curtains or your carpets. This is one washing machine where you could wash anything. There is a small box where you can put in the soap powder and other liquids like a conditioner or starch from where the washing machine automatically takes and washes.

The various other features found in this washing machine are the soak and wash option, where you can soak dirty clothes and wash after a few minutes, rinse and spin option where only rinsing and drying is done. In this washing machine your fabrics will have very little wrinkles after wash hence it is easier for ironing.

Now I find washing very easy I put all my clothes inside my IFB washing machine at night and program the washing machine to wash early in the morning with the delay start option. My washing machine does all the washing even before I wake up. Washing with my IFB washing machine has now become a pleasure.

I have spent more than the cost of the machine. Every time one new service engineer will come and will sell some of the add on product with out even repairing it.

Customer care is pathetic they will not listen what you say. The part are not available in market and God only knows to service the electrical parts in this junk.

Pathetic WAshing Machines ever used
by: Anonymous

Purchased this piece of junk ( Digital 5 KG ) This is worst to worst washing machine ever bought / used. I had spent lots of amount in getting it repaired and on AMC.If calculated i ended up paying more than cost of washing machine.

Better to go with brand other than IFB.

IFB washing machine Digital 5 Kg; purchased in 2007 and under continuous AMC since purchase. Current AMC (customer code 1662149) VALID TILL 17/06/2012 AGAINST PAYMENT OF Rs.3385. Complaint pending since 19/03/11. Spare parts payments collected by service personnel on 3 occassions totalling to Rs.3110 (1030 on 19/3/11 + 580 on 01/07/11 +1500 on 08/08/11), under pretexts of different reasons. Machine was giving consistently E7 error when 11 minutes of cycle time is pending and would not switch off automatically. After every visit by IFB technician other complaints started appearing viz. control panel (spin selector) not working, door not closing. Repeated request for senior technician to identify the fault and rectification evoking no response. The machine is not working at all now. A few of the complaint nos are given below: 61743060 (09/04/11 ), 6413745 (June '11), 6637562 (29/06/11), 6574447 (20/06/11), 6705804 (08/7/11 and reminded on 11/07/11), 6745800 (15/07/11), 6849711 (30/07/11), 6801928 (23/07/11), 6926297 (10/08/11 reminders on 17/08/11, 20/08/11, 23/08/11), 7051132 (30/08/11).
