Lamona Washer Dryer Review & Howdens appliance review

[@MrMishmashmosh]

This Lamona machine is one of the loudest spin cycles I've ever heard. It vibrates so much. Only had it on 3 washes and its going back to Howdens. Shocking.

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

Yes it can be loud on spin. I thought we were maybe noticing it more because we went open plan!

[@rowenalambert8180]

Already had a replacement, same problem again - spins OUT OF CONTROL where other machines slow to re-balance the load. This machine just goes for a full speed spin! Housing destroyed, freyed wires from the drum inside (tripped the house) Howdens will be hearing from me! Going back to John Lewis - best value machine I ever bought.

We have had a few issues with this machine now - will be doing an updated video! Howdens were helpful for us though sent an engineer out 3x for repairs although it was in warranty still was yours?

Thank you for the review 🥰 I’m about to refurb my kitchen with howdens and a bit skeptical about buying their own brand rather than a Bosch washer dryer. Would you say this is defo worth it for the price? Is it quiet when both washing and drying as I have an open plan kitchen and living room

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

We have open plan too you can hear it when it spins in the living room but we tend to put it on early - the drying cycle is relatively quiet it’s more the wash cycle. We had the Bosch - you can see my reviews on here but I feel the Lamona is compatible for the difference in price!

Thank you for your review of the washer dryer. Is the dryer not vented to outside through the wall ?

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

No it is not vented

Hey , I have this washer dryer in my rental and just wondering if you have had any issues with clothes shrinking and want to know if you have a suggestion on what setting I should wash and dry on ? Thank you ❤

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

To be honest I find that with all dryers I have used! But yes, shrinkage has happened only the usual that I expect with cotton and tumble dryers!

[@Preppy_905]

Which model is this? Thanks

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

I wasn’t told and I can’t actually see it on there!

[@christinathomas9209]

Can I ask if your washer dryer gets hot on top when you use it.? My guess is it is normal but just has one fitted and I’ve never used one before.

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

I will be honest because it’s fitted in I haven’t noticed - I would get in touch with Howdens though it could be a fault and you wouldn’t want to leave it in case!

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

Ok did a 5kg wash and dry and yes top feels hot x

[@MarianCooper-u6t]

Hi , how do I just use the dryer

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

Hey on the left hand side when you turn the dial you will see options in red they are either wash & dryer options at first then last two synthetics and cottons and dry only options! Hope that helps :)

BRAND NEW MACHINE THEY RATTLE LIKE HELL. SOUNDS AS IF SOMEONE IS COMING DOWN THE ROAD BEATING A BIG DRUM AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

[@Lifebakesandescapes]

It is noiser than my Bosch was for sure! Especially as we went open plan!
