1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Not very reliable, hard to fix, Friday, 13 March 2009 Written by Andrew Convenience Performance Reliablity I have the same problem as the other reviewer-my timer seems to be broken. Danby tech support has not been very helpful. Like the other reviewer, I also have a small child, so not having a working washing machine is a major drag, and I have been trying to get this machine fixed for almost two months now, with no luck. Avoid the hassle and get a name brand machine.

The hot water cycle for whites etc. takes nearly 2 hours to complete! Who has time to wait around for that when you have one day for laundry? We had to have it repaired just over a year after we purchased it and the same thing keeps breaking. I have heard others say they have this same problem, the cycle doesn't advance so you have to manually turn the knob. We have had to fix this on a yearly basis. I have a toddler and no matter what detergent we use and how I treat stains things do not get very clean. The energy efficiency doesn't do much good if I have to wash things twice. There is also no load size setting, so I can't just throw in a small load of darks etc. I have to wait until I have a full load. The only thing I really like about this machine is the fact that it is compact, that is nice for our small laundry area and it is fairly quiet. Was this review helpful to you?
