Towels like Cardboard

As with all front load washers Wash time too long, not possible to do two loads of washing before work. I use fabric softener but towel still come out like cardboard. Tried delicate wash in the hope that this would help, but no such luck. Also with a...

OK

when it's working it's fantastic. Customer service has been fantastic this last time (less than 5 minutes on the phone and refund offered!). Let's see if they follow through!

washes great and spins out unbeleivably dry and when it's working it's the best machine. Have finally got a great response from Blanco! How about we just give you your money back (i nearly had to be picked up off the floor)at least they understand that...

have had it in to be fixed three times in less than 2 years and it now needs to go back again(still under the 2 year mark). Have had motor fixed then replaced, had it in because it woundn't spin about 6 weeks ago and now it's doing it again!

Terrible

i've had my BFW716 less than two years (the shamefully short warranty period given it cost me over $900 for the machine) and this morning it just won't work. i can set the program but it shoots in 15 seconds of water and that's it: no more water, no...

works well, when it works... is noisy, but at 1600 rpm it will make some noise- and shake a bit, even it it is properly balanced... washes well, apart from there being no lint filter which is a pain sometimes when washing dark clothes after doing the...

broke down within warranty period after no mistreatment of the machine

Terrible

I can't stand this machine, I hate it. It leaves lint all over all my clothes, I have tried everything to get rid of it. I have been told to use my dryer to get the lint off, I bought this machine to save on water and energy, how am I saving on energy...

The delay timer.

It is very noisy, sounds like an aeroplane taking off in my laundry. No lint filter,leaves lint all over my washing.

Excellent

I had a Bendix before this Blanco, and the Blanco is 100% better. I have 6 adults in my house (four grown sons at home) & this machine is used at least twice a day. And sometimes my sons overload it a bit. It has not missed a beat. The service...

It washes very gently but thoroughly. I have had the machine for 2 1/2 years.

Can jump a little when spinning.

Terrible

It seems Blanco are just a badge with no real support - however my real problem is that the tech said that the model I have has had lots of motor problems and they have now changed to an upgraded version. Does this not signify the first unit as "not...

When it works, it's good.

Just over a year old and motor stopped working $99 call-out and tech said we need a new motor. They would quote later. Called and quoted $521.00 Even at that rip off price - to replace a faulty design, it would still be some time before a new part is...

Good

It seem to be a good machine for average home use. Definitely better than LG. Very affordable in comparison with other major Europe brand. Dont ever go to the Goodguys in Morrabin Airport & Nunawadding if you live in Melb, they are rip offs... Always...

We had several wash with this machine since last week, so far so good. We had foam leaked from the detergent drawer on 1st use thaz becuz we were using regular washing powder, switched to front loader powder 2nd wash and it worked perfect.

The LCD display seem very fragile as if you put your fingertip on it you will see the irregular messy display of the numerical number and english characters.

Excellent

Fantastic machine. The controls look overwhelming if you are used to just a couple of knobs on your washing machine, but it is very easy to use and cleans brilliantly. I have heard some friends washing machines and you can hear a high pitched whir when...

Quiet! This machine is so quiet! We have only had top loaders up until now, but got this in a deal with other blanco products and we love it. We have the BFW716 and for a machine that spins at 1600RPM, it is amazingly quiet. It washes better than our...

The only thing we have noticed so far is that the towels don't seem to come out as soft as they did in our Kleenmaid top loader, but this may be because top loaders stress the material more.
