Amica DAW 8143 DSiBTO Steam - what are the opinions? I'm trying to buy

I thought about myself and finally chose model 7123 - I have it for a month - I decided that it was not worth paying extra money for a few kilos of laundries per kilogram of washing, another drawer for detergent and spinning speed.
I was tempted by the price and easy availability of cheap parts - I do not expect trouble-free operation, but I am not afraid of repairs.
A washing machine, like feathers, can be put into bed at once, pillow cases and sheets, you can wash a blanket.
As for me, the number of programs is unnecessary, I use three - washing 15min, hourly and cotton, if you turn on steam (it is added when rinsing and spinning) clothes are slightly damp - practically dry after taking out, just a few hours of drying or ironing. No pair, for example, the pants have to hang overnight.
Feeling good, cotton pants and shirt were able to be washed out of the dried acrylic paint after painting.
The engine runs quietly, but the pump is loud, it also spins like a jet. On the minus black window, you can not see what's going on inside.

It is hard to say something about failure rate, but I would not expect a miracle, if only because of the price - parents have an 8-year-old washing machine - two after each, water level error first, and after the next year the capacitor exploded, but it has been operating since then.

Hello,

I did exactly as I said before - I found that PLN 300 per 1kg more feed higher revolutions during centrifugation and another dispensing system of detergent is an exaggeration.

Please remember that Amica gives the possibility to extend the manufacturer's warranty by 3 years for PLN 150 (PLN 50 per year).

Similarly, I mainly use the three programs above.
Aesthetic execution, quiet washing machine. So far, there are no problems.

The only thing I miss is an independent spin program - it is always connected to a program.
For me, there is one problem - there is information in the manual - namely, I put bathroom rugs for quick rinsing. Unfortunately, the weight did not spread evenly and the washing machine did not spin. I had to put them one at a time and turn on the rinse program once again (no self-program of spinning what I wrote above).

Overall, I am very happy and recommend it.

Long Are you using this washing machine?
Is this "steam engine" or a little water pic? Indeed, you can call the washing machine "for those who do not like ironing"?
The versions of daw7123dcibt and daw7123dcibt steam touch differ by about 150 zlotys - not much, but this is an additional 3 years warranty.

Let me be honest: my wife, who unfortunately forgets about the laundry, and in addition we have a steam station so it's a completely different ironing compared to the traditional iron. However, I am going to check how it will happen to towels, which after a dozen or so of washes make themselves so rough.

Another advantage of the washing machine is the possibility of adding laundry during washing. I have used it a few times and praise myself, although the first time some water spilled on the floor. Later it did not have this place anymore.

Steam is an option and you have to activate it with a separate button in the standard programs, I checked on new towels, which before the wash were so slippery and stunk after dyeing. The most noticeable difference is that the steam program eliminates the stench and makes things dry out of the washing machine, how to evenly hang the clothes to dry it and sometimes you do not need to iron, but not all.

Just as it is with parts because eg on north.pl I can not find anything, I am aiming at DAW 7123.

There is one small problem with this washing machine. It can be set up with 3 different doses of washing liquid: 22.5 / 30 / 37.5ml. With the fact that the popularly available means defined as "concentrated" have given doses of 50-150ml for washing. Does anyone have any idea where to get a properly concentrated detergent?

update:
I'm pinning my subject. This washing machine is crap, now I am trying to get rid of it under the warranty. I honestly do not recommend.

I confirm the imperfections of this washing machine. Washing does not have the right amount of detergent. Amica washing machine "feathers" nightmare. White shirts, white shirts, socks after washing are white, but more grayish. It is not the white that I have after washing in a lower class Siemens IQ500 washing machine. I wash at 40 C. Water hardness: 300-500 mg CaCO3 / dm3, 13-19 dH, original Calgon, original liquid Ariel Strahlend Rein, original liquid for rinsing Lenor Aprilfrisch. The Amica dispenser does not dispense automatically, but after imposing a quantity of detergent on it. Even the highest dose is too small for washing.
The Amica washing machine often does not end the washing cycle, by stopping, along with the un-pumped water. This defect occurs when using different washing programs and in different time periods. Equally often, it does not perform centrifugation at various washing programs and at different time periods. Another problem is the lack of an independent program: spinning. There is only rinsing with spinning and so unnecessary water consumption if anyone just wanted to spin off wet clothes. Treating clients by Amica is one big scandal! They treat clients like intruders or someone who has a washing machine for the first time in their life and can not use it. For a year, the washing machine only causes problems and the Amica website thinks everything is in perfect order.
I have already withdrawn from the contract on a statutory basis. I am waiting for a refund or exchange for: BOSCH WAY288H0PL.

Apart from other problems, the required amount of detergent can be poured directly into the drum.

I do so in the end, but you do not buy a washing machine with a dispenser to give the detergent manually to the drum. In addition, when feeding the drum, it is not possible to set the pre-wash.
