Door opens fully which is very convenient. The wash cycles are so simply displayed giving all the information to select. Some very short and convenient washes for freshening clothes. Love it.

Lots of programmes and special options to choose from including sports wash cycles and delicate care cycles. Also, love the time delay feature and the rinse-hold feature meaning you can time it so your washing isn't sat in the machine for ages.

Love the timer that indicates length of the cycle Lots of options re temperature, spin etc

Very easy to use, looks great! Handy lcd screen telling you how long is left and easy to change settings and pause mid cycle. Love the timer function, can set it to have washing ready when we get in from work.

love it love it love it, clothes super clean and super spun dry,looks mega stylish in my kitchen with the glowing blue light, big drum, v.simple to use, best washer i've ever had and there's been a few with my lot

Good looks, washes absolutely brilliantly, excellent choice of spin speed, extra large drum for larger loads, love the delay timer - makes the most of Economy 7, very easy to use!

Really pleased so far, seems so much better than the yr old Hotpoint it has replaced. Very quiet machine, great big drum, fantastic for our family of 5. Love the fast wash.

Love the size of the door and drum, so easy to load. Love the range of different cycles and the short wash. Really good spinner clothes come out virtually dry. Really quiet and efficient. Great value for money, good looking too!!

every thing about it just love it the price was just brilliant, and it washis better than some of my more expensive washers

Very quiet and l love the time delay feature meaning l can put a wash on during the night at the cheaper rate. Great overall machine.

super quiet and gets clothes lovely and clean!

Great value for money, incredibly easy to operate. I love the child safety feature, and the incredibly large drum. The machine looks amazing

i like how there's a quick spin and the spin dry feature is lovely..doesnt take too long for the clothes to dry..plus i love the jingle when the washing is complete, alerts u that the washing is ready to be taken out..

Very easy to use, great choice of programmes, size of drum a bonus,very nice looking machine of black and chrome. love the way the picture changes depending on whether washing, rinsing etc and of course the tune at the end. Overall brilliant!

Its so quiet, lovely machine

My first washing machine was an Indesit and I loved it. Unfortunately I deviated with the second but am now back on course. Now that we're only a two person family (Kids flown the nest at last!!) with 1 retired and 1 semi-retired I wanted a machine I could trust and that would be easy and economical to run. So far so good. I love the daily wash cycle, and found the faster spin speed (faster than my old machine) ideal this winter when I had to dry a lot of washing indoors. The spin is so quiet and it is so nice not to have to turn the radio up! Brilliant machine, good looking as well. Anyone after a small, tidy, quiet product - look no further.

Everything about this washing machine is great... It is so easy to use. Great drum size, bedding doesn't come out terribly creased. You can hardly hear the machine when it is on. Love this machine.

lovely machine, easy to use ,great options for spin speeds.

Love the efficiency...clothes are clean, well rinsed and spun really well. There are a lot of features I probably won't use except the extra rinse cycle which is a great extra. Cycle 8 or 9 are really fast (1 hour) and it cleans even my son's overalls...and he's a very mucky farm boy! However, if you have several pairs of mucky overalls the long cycles will sort them out. I also like the bleach cycle which is good for a large white wash.

Spin cycles most effective, and like the short daily cycles - these are the only ones which state the time of the cycle. Love being able to do larger washloads = very important to me as a busy working parent.

I absolutely love this washing machine. It is great having the timer feature as all my wash loads i put on of a nightime to come on at around 4am. This naturally is much more economical. I can fit loads of laundry inside the huge 8kg drum which is ideal for my family but even better is knowing that i have the option of doing a half load if i wish. The features are great and easy to use too. I would recommend this washing machine. It took me ages to research the one i wanted and feel that i made the right choice.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this about a washing machine, but I love it !! Living in a one bedroom flat noise was a big factor to take into consideration, this is relatively quiet and very economical with the big drum. A couple of friends of mine have said they want one !!!

Very quite, make the clothes lovely and clean the best washing machine we have ever had. Yes the longest washing cycle is 3 hours long but you can fit a massive amount of washing into the machine so it is more efficient.

Looks great. Really cleans my clothes - used to an old washing machine that I don't think has worked properly for years! It is really quiet as well which is fab - we couldn't hear ourselves think with the old one. Like the fact it turns itself off when finished as I often put it on when out at work. And of course it plays a lovely little tune when it has finished its cycle!

I LOVE THIS MACHINE. The big drum, the quiet operation, the 'A' rated wash that really is 'A' rated, the Bed and Bath wash that fits a single duvet in/ all your bedding in one wash, the 1600 spin that means less time in the tumble dryer, easy to use, you can vary the temperature/spin, it looks good.........i could keep going on! My kids like the fact that it says Hello when you switch it on, and this means they want to load it! Fine by me. As I said I LOVE this washing machine.

Its very quite looks good and best of all it does the job. Very easy to operate. nice big drum nice to be able to choose speed and tempreture. Love the time delay.

Easy to use, quiet cycles, love the time remaining indicator.

Does exactly what it claims, lovely features and energy efficient.

I can throw everything in, including my dirty riding gear, light weight stable rugs and my teenage son's filthy rugby kit and it all comes out clean and fresh after just one wash. it's very straight forward to operate, even my husband can choose the right wash, and it's lovely and quiet. i hope it goes on for years like the last one did.

Many wash options, with high spin frequency making clothes easier to dry, and love the light in the drum. In addition express wash a fantastic quick and energy efficient option. Quiet.

Very easy to use. Love the fact it has no soap dispenser drawer to get cogged up. Just has 4 main options for wash cycles-used to only use 2 on my old machine anyway. I reckon I could teach my husband to use it!!

Drum size is excellent - it holds so much that I can't get used to filling it up (but my last Bosch machine was 14years old and only held 4.5 kilos). It also has other programmes that can be used if the machine is only partly full so you don't have to fill the whole machine up everytime you use it. I love the timer as it tells you exactly how long its going to take and the timer time increases/decreases depending on what spin speed & temperature you want.

Good quiet machine, wife loves it!

Easy to use, economic wash programmes and extremely silent. Lovely machine!

I am Susan and i absolutely love my new washing machine and i hope it lasts me as long as my old one has (nine years), it has a larger capacity and is very quiet, i can choose my own cycle, it is more energy effiecient. I love the silver colour for a change, we are considering buying a dryer to go with it.

None, I love it!

Love the fact that it has an in-built time delay, enabling me to do the washing overnight on the cheap rate electricity without having to purchase a separate timer.

I love the fact that you can see how long the cycle has to go and that there is an option for baby cotton

Very quiet; the loudest part is the machine filling with water (cold fill only) and the door locking and unlocking! Unusual looking, love the big chunky door. Very easy to customise wash etc. Seems to wash very well and my items come out smelling much fresher than my old Hotpoint. Really easy to load and unload. Excellent value for money; my Mum wants one too now!

Love the huge choice of spin speeds and temperatures. Very quiet, hardly any vibration when spinning (important as I live in a top floor flat). Even on 800rpm spin clothes are dry enough to hang indoors---and not creased.

Good looking machine, very easy to use, love the digital display which tells you exactly how long the wash will take, superb drum size.

Love the digital display and the option of temperature control.

The quietest washing machine I've had and it doesn't "walk" all over my kitchen floor. The steam feature is really good for getting stains out of whites especially. I think I'm in love with this machine, I keep finding things to wash!

its ace! i just love it. so easy to use. some clothes come out the washing machine really dry. would reccommend this washing machine to everyone¬

Love the ability to change speed settings.

excellant range of programmes, very easy to use, love the 30 min programme

Love the short wash time, and the fact it's not too noisy.

Love the easy use of the buttons, good selection of programmes A lot quieter to my last machine. The count down display is great. Would recommend reading the short manual that comes with it. It tells you how to lock the keys (child lock). Large drum takes the load easily. Can't find any faults with it.

I have so much washing in my house that my old washing machine always used to be on,but with this one id say id almost halved the amount of times i have to put it on.It took me a while to get used to fact that i dont have put my washing on every day.This machine saves me time and money and i love it.

Super quiet, love the washing/rinsing display. use the steam cycle and the clothes come out really dry cutting down on drying time. The machine plays a tune on completion and then switches itself off. The steam cycle is great for stains on PE kits. There is a 30 minuite cycle for quick washing and also a refresh cycle but when we used this the clothes smelt of rubber, not sure if this is just because the machine is new. my daughter loves showing her friends the washing machine it looks lovely in the kitchen.

I love the fact that you can lower the temperature on most of the programs and that there are various spin cycles. Very easy to use!!

Very quiet. Love the features telling the weight of washing in machine, amount of detergent to put in and the time it takes for the cycle.

Love the fact that it's so quiet, that it tells you how long it is o the end of the programme, and that there is s much room in the big drum for the wash to get really well wash and rinsed.It's really easy to use and I like the way you can vary the temperature and spin speed. I love the look of the machine, and the charcoal-grey colour.

Love the quick wash which still clean the clothes to the same standard. Easy to use and good on energy efficiency.

It looks very stylish and is extremely easy to use. It washes my clothes to a very high standard. I love the delay wash and countdown to the end of the wash functions.

Its easy to use, very affordable and has alot of short washes. Unlike any other washer that I've had it tells you on the digital display exactly how long the wash will take. It looks smart. Its also extremely quiet though it took 2 or 3 attepts to get the levelling adjustments just right - once correct its very quiet. It has a smaller tub than I have had in the past but because the various wash times I can organise my loads better. I love it!!!!

Easy to use, especially since it saves your favourite cycle! Also I love the extra quick cycles for thoses moments when you suddenly realise you haven'y washed the kids school trousers.

Can do every thing that i want from washing trainers to being able to wash with bleach i love it.

The quietest washing machine I have owned with good looks to match. The wash cycle times are very good. There is a quick wash cycle of 30mins when clothes just need freshening up and a normal cotton cycle at 40 degrees is about 70-75mins. The spin speed can be altered for any program plus there is an option of a delay timer. In short I love my new washing machine.

there are none I love it so much

I like the look and the simplicity. It is lovely and quite and holds plenty

Love the fact that there is a quick cycle and a cycle for trainers! also absolutely love the delayed start button.

I think it is a lovely machine.

everything.washes lovely and clothes are nearly dry when done on 1600 spin

This is a brilliant washing machine. The clothes come out really clean and practically dry. I find it really easy to use and love the big door and overall size of the drum. The delay timer comes in really handy as it means i can programme it to come on when i want it too (usually at cheap rate) so it is also very cost efficient.

Great Capacity, love the steam feature, on maximum spin the clothes come out virtually dry, looks great.

very pleased with the machine so far. Lots of extra programmes that are really handy and love the way the spin cycle removes the water efficiently for easier drying compared to my last machine.

takes a big load, quick 30 minute wash for lightly soiled clothes, looks good too, and its very quiet compared to my last machine. love the 1600 spin.

Very easy to use & I love the time remaining function. Nice large port-hole which makes l;loading easy.

I love this washing machine, its quiet, its got a cycle for every type of wash and you can vary the temperature and spin speed yourself if need be. It has a quick wash which is sometimes necessary and I like the look of the machine.

No child lock - our 15 month old daughter loves fiddling with the buttons !

Big drum. Really quiet, easy to use. Love it.

I bought this washer to put in a rented house I own with students. They absolutely love it. It looks good, easy to use and didnt cost the earth oh and its a brand make.

Its a big improvement in everyway from my previous manchine Zanussi.I love the really quick wash at 30 and use it all the time.

reliable. great selection of cycle times - perfect for variety of family washing faced each week. Very easy to use. My third Bosch purchase in - they last well and my engineer loves them.

Love the 30minute cycle

Its very easy to use i especially like the hand wash cycle, lovely big door

VERY HIGH SPIN WHICH IS GREAT FOR TOWELS ETC , LOVELY, QUIET MACHINE THAT LOOKS VERY STYLISH.BIG LOAD CAPACITY.EXCELLENT VALUE

Very easy to operate. Love the lower temperature option!

I love this Washing Machine it's easy to use and really quiet.

Easy to use. Can turn down to a more environmentally friendly temp at touch of a button, which I love. So very quite!!!! Child lock priceless!!! I have never had such a fantastic machine, so good looking too! Worth every penny.

I absolutely Love the machine. It washes and spins so quietly, you don't even know it's switched on. I recommend this to all.

Lovely and quiet and looks great! You can tell it's quality built - worth more than competitors!

I absolutely love it, its so easy to use, and fully recommend to anyone.

You get get a lot of washing done, it is very quiet , aslo plays a tune at the end of the cycle this really helps because it is so quiet. Also it is so simple to use I love my new machine!!!

This washing machine has a lovely large drum which for a family is great low noise,good value for the money

Fantastic to use, simple settings, love the dispenser tray on the inside of the door...no residue to clean out either!! Installed with every care in mind..

Love how quiet it is and the drum size. Washing comes out really clean

Lovely design.

I love it to bits. Went out and bought a Miele vacuum cleaner on the strength of it. It's so quiet that when I first had it I kept going to check that it was still working. It's amazingly easy to use, and although I wasn't looking for extra functions originally, I find that I use them all the time. It washes and spins brilliantly - I really don't have any negative feelings about it at all. Am now saving up for a Miele dishwasher . . .

It's lovely and quiet and easy to use.

Lovely washing machine, fits in a small kitchen, washes very well

Firstly from a womans point of view, it's a blinder of a good looking machine adore the digital front and the slow flashing start/pause button.... (my other car if you like...looks there too are as important as performance)!! Love the fact that I have the use of a time saver to cut down slightly washing time, and love the sizable 7.5 drum. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so please forgive my 2 bad points!

QUIET - MAKES THE WASHING SMELL NICE - WE LOVE THE LITTLE TUNE AT THE END AND THE SWITCHING OFF ITSELF,-

Easy to use, can see how much time is left on a cycle. Takes large loads and will wash hand wash only items with care. My two and a half year old daughter loves to help with washing and recognises when wash has finished - but the machine is child friendly and largely is tamper free!

I am very pleased with my washing machine. It does exactly what I want it to do with a good size drum and fast spin. It also looks lovely in my kitchen!

My only complaint would be that things come out a little bit more damp than I'm used to with other machines - i expect because the spin cycle isn't as fast. Otherwise I love it.

I wanted a large drum size and 1600 spin. Although you can't get 1600 on some cycles - the wide variety of programmes and choices of temp overcomes this problem - again with time if you need it to finish quickly you can vary the programmes to find a time that suits you. Washes very well. love the fact you can stop a wash to add an extra sock. Quietest spin I've heard

I love the fact that you can add items once the wash has started.

Drum size is brilliant, noise level is unbelievably quiet, I love everything about this machine.

Fantastic washing machine - lots of programmes - love the rapid 15 minute cycle.

Very quiet, big drum suitable for sports shoes and duvets. looks good. Love to be able to see how long left on visual display. 1600 spin which is fab, clothes almost dry when they come out. 30 min wash. very happy with machine, would definitely recommend

Lovely and easy to use, clear instructions and even a delay start function - wonderful!

This machine has a large 8kg drum and a special cycle for duvets up to king size - great for families. It's very quiet, even when spinning. There is a program for every possible need and extras like a child lock and special rinse cycles for those with allergies or very sensitive skin. The digital countdown on the front panel means you know exactly when the cycle will end. Looks great too and the kids love the tune it plays when it finishes the cycle! It also switches itself off when the cycle ends which is a great energy-saving feature. My washing has never been cleaner and the spinning is so efficient that the laundry dries really quickly too.

Nothin so far love it.

Great choice of washes handwash / half load . Larger than average drum so can so more washing at once! Loving it!!!

i just love it

Great machine and easy digital display to use, you can bring your wash times right down if need it to be quick. Love the niffty powder and softner dispenser.

Very quiet in comparison to the previous belt driven washing machine that we owned. Even on full spin you just don't hear it. The increased capacity has reduced frequency of washes, not tried a duvet yet but sure it is capable. Just love the tune it plays when it finishes the washing cycle - those with one will know what I mean !

Huge drum and really good spin saving on drying time. Love the fact that you can pause the programme and open the door when you realise that you've dropped a sock on the way to the machine! Delay feature is great too

Very good drum size and it's extremely quiet. I've actually found myself checking the machine to make sure it's still on! Very easy to use and the controls aren't difficult to get used to. I love the memory keys to store specific wash information.

Very quiet & very easy to use. Love the simplicity of the design and the compartments for detergent etc being placed on the door, innovative idea

I can't believe how quiet it REALLY is i have to keep checking its on. I love the door light that lights up the drum. I really like the fact that i can put something in straightaway if i have forgotten it like a sock or fabric conditoner because there is no waiting for the door lock. It won't open if it is full of water which is also a good feature. The ease of use is also very good. I have had many machines but this one is by far the best. The 1600 spin speed is amazingly quiet my last one sounded like a plane taking off at only 1200 spin speed i used to have to shut the kicthen door and turn the telly up. Not anymore. I love the duration clock it lets you know how long is left plus it beeps to let you its finished.

love the size of the drum, I have a lot of heavily soiled work clothes ( husband is a push bike courier), it is just soo quiet, the LED is fantastic for first time use, and the cherry on the cake is that it is plug and play... just easy.

Everything about this product is great, I really cannot fault it. From the energy saving cycles, noise level, choice of washes. My washing has never smelled so lovely.

At this point in time I can find nothing bad about the machine at all - it has some wonderful points that as such I have not tried - like the timer so yoiu can begin a cycle at whatever time that suits you - another good point is that it tells you how far it is into the wash cycle and how much longer it has to finish the cycle - yet another good point I really can't find anything wrong with the machine - its wonderful and I love it.

Looks good, quiet, 30 min cycle good,spins,temp choice,energy effic, plays a lovely tune when its finished.

would love an idea of how long left to run on a washing cycle

love the 30min wash very good

I like the time delay wash on it.... Really handy for when you work full time... The booklet explains the cycles and they are easy to pick up... I love the sports cycle feature as sports clothes get washed so many times and in my old machine they got ruined after a couple of washes.. ALso I can now put any delicates in that I would normally have to handwash..

Lovely and quiet, easy to use, washing comes out brill, this is my second Bosch and I swear by them.

Very easy to use. Good choice of cycles. Love the digital countdown - no longer have to guess the timings. Quieter than my old Bosch!

Love the larger 8kg wash size!

annoying tune when the cycle ends kids love it though what can i say apart from that no complaints so far

As I live in a small flat the size is wonderful, and it was what helped me make the decision to buy this particular make of machine, that and the price. It is a lovely machine and I am very pleased with it. I would recommend it to anyone who is single or just a couple. Obviously not suitable for a large family but for me its really great. I am even happy to do my student daughter's washing now.

great washer good value for money love the sports cycle it manages to wash clean my sons very muddy rugby kit first time

Love this washing machine very easy to use, lots of programme choices including fast 15min wash and good delicate. Also like option to do plus wash for badly stained items such as bibs.

A really lovely machine and really quite

Love the ease of use, the internal light, the length of time of the cycle is constantly shown, the clothes are well cleaned and spun.

excellent spin, love the silver colour, easy to use

Amazing how much this washer takes. It has quick wash which speeds things up. It's neat and compact I love it.

It looks lovely - for a washing machine - it's fast and very simple to use.

Love the big drum. Although the program times seem long, when I compare with my old machine, I used to do 30min quick washes, I can put three times as much in this machine, on a better wash. Brill! Have washed all my duvets, saves soo much money. Love the interior light. Another great point if you live in a hard water area like I do, the rubber ring has drainage holes, so no water sitting at the base causing rotten, stained, smelly marks as yet. Love everything about this machine so far.

Very easy to use, a bit of a problem with getting the hang of it at first I pressed the timer button accidently and couldn't cancel it at first but found out how in the easy to use instructions. I especially love the big door and the drum is massive. Washes brilliantly gets all stains out and I love the cold wash. My previous machine didn't have that it was also a hoover and bad from the ffirst days, so I was a bit sceptcal at first. I'm very glad I went for this machine reccomend it to anyone.

Easy to use,energy efficient,child lock and almost silent...love this machine!.

Lovely design, so easy to use even my husband can use it, quite as a mouse!

Great machine, love the delay start timer and the fact that you can see how long the cycle takes. No problems so far, use it about twice a week as there are only two of us in the house.

Very efficient and love the quiet spin's!

it is lovely and quiet. the 7kg load makes it economical as i do less washes.It also does a quick wash that none of my previous machines did and so far the washing has come out lovely and clean and barely wet.

I love this washing machine, its easy to use and timer function makes it easy to get all the washing done. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

The only bad points i have are that; the loads cant be weighed, which can be a problem if the load is heavy because the volume of the spin is higher and there is quite a bit of vibration. the other thing is the black mildew that forms inside the drawer. its already beginning to build up just after a couple of months. I've left the drawer and door open many times to air and dry, but it doesn't help. i believe this is a problem with many washing machines and if anyone has any tips for preventing this, that would be great. overall i love this machine.

Streamlined look, large door so I can see what's happening, also this makes it easier to load. Very easy to use the buttons, an excellent washer, I love it.

So far I have not found any fault with my machine. It is easy to use, it is efficient, it is quiet, there is no vibration when spinning I love it so much, that when replacing any future electrical products, it will be my first port of call!A l

Looks good, is very quiet and the washing comes out smelling really fresh when you use the steam function. I love the way it weighs my washing so I don't have to second guess how long the wash cycle should be.

Easy to use , just the press of a button . I love the timer facility which means my washing can be programmed to finish for when I walk through the door in the evening. Very Quiet. A programme to suit any kind of wash. I havent had time to experiment with them all yet! A good size door. I also like the fact it tells you exactly how long a programme is going to take and counts down.

simple machine to use, love the timer facility, economical in that it uses cold water

love the looks and ease of use.

Love the larger drum size I can do my washing in fewer loads which means less hassle and ? less electricity .

Huge drum, very eco-friendly, down to 2 washes a week instead of about 5. Really easy control panel, temp control etc. I love it!

Its easy to use the controls are very easy to understand love the time is given on it as it allows me to know how long is left ..when doing stuff round the house .. excellent spin and easier to dry after .. even my kids can use it .. which in itself is a miracle ..

Just love it, definately a much better wash than my old machine which was an indesit.

Lovely machine, with a very useful quick wash - only 30 minutes

Love the fast cycle options when we're in a rush.

spin is brillian, love the ease of use, clean and utilitarian, thanks

Love the way it looks and it's so quiet.

I love the ability to choose the spin rate and the temperature separately. There are alot of diffenet washes to choose from, there is always one to suit what I am washing.

you have a wide range of features and i love the short wash.

Can't believe how quiet it is compared to the old thing I had that used to bang against the side of the units. This is simple to use, sleek design and I love the fact that it shows how long in minutes it has left, no more watching and trying to figure out if I can wait or need to run for the bus!

Excellent value for money looks smart in my kitchen! Washes clothes nicely and is very easy to operate. Love the fact it has a timer so you know when the wash program is about to end. Very easy to install yourself.

What I love about this machine is it's simplicity, it does everything that I want it to do, I've had machines before that are jam packed with different features and do everything but make the tea in the morning, but at the end of the day I've never got to use the added "extras" because basically I have never needed to. All the features that I ever use are right here in this little white box. Bosch have kept it simple so there's less things to go wrong in the future, it all looks pretty much like "plug & play" kit to me.

really easy to use - like the settings and choices, love the delay option.

I love it, has transformed my washing and drying times. The spin is great and the programs flexible, even the short ones work well. I would highly recommend this product.

Love the time feature so you can see how long to go! Good big drum with door that opens wide for ease of loading and unloading. It has all the features I need plus loads I probably don't but easy to use, good washes and really pleased with it.

Big Drum! Very easy to use the cycles and adjust them to ones specific requirements. Also, lock light on panel, lets you know that you can't open the door, handy with a toddler about! Clothes come out lovely and clean! Haven't had a chance to use the stain blaster button yet. Very pleased with purchase.

So quiet when it's on you don't realise it's working (except for the spin that is). Fab that you can adjust the temperature and spin speed on each setting, as I have a lot of delicate items and hand wash items which are washed perfectly in this machine - lots better than my previous one, and I loved that Hotpoint too...

I love the big door, big drum and the 30 minute low temp wash - it's fab!

I love this machine. It is so quiet and I can fit loads into it. It looks smart too.

Lovely big porthole. Very quiet.

None. I love it!

Very good machine with lots of programmes, love the low temperature washes which come out very clean, as good as hot so saves a money and the enviroment.

It gives off little noise even on the fastest spin. This model has a nice big drum to accommodate some of the bigger household items. There is a good range of wash programmes to choose from and the machine is very easy to use. It has large print on the display panel. As well as being very economical it is all very trendy, I love the design! I would happily recommend this machine to anyone.

If you are a fan of star trek you will love the look of this machine. I went for the silver but both the white and black look great too. The wash cycles cover any and every type of wash you can think of and a few more besides. The steam refresh feature is like having your clothes dry cleaned, business suits and shirts can be steam cleaned very quickly and are ready to wear the same day without the need to iron ! Hard to believe I know but you'll be doing alot less ironing. The high 1400 spin speed means most clothes come out of the machine almost dry and need minimal drying time. The 9kg load and large drum size means you can even wash a king size duvet. Low noise levels when washing and spinning (as long as you set the machine on a solid base- see bad points).

Excellent. You feel you have hit middle age when you love your washing machine, but this is a joy!

My score rating says it all. I have moved to a front loader from an American top loader, and was very sceptical about any front loading washing machine. No regrets - lovely machine to use, and washing comes out clean. The variable spin cycle is brilliant.

I love this machine. It's easy to use, washes in a fraction of the time my old one did and is quiet - what more could you want?

love the delayed start time and the speed cycle

Lovely looking machine that would look great in many kitchens, great features and low noise level - strongly reccommend

The AEG is lovely and quiet and it is only the beep at the end that makes you realise it has finished it wash.

Washes well, spins well lots of options, easy to use, makes lovely musical noises.

GOOD TO LOOK AT TAKES LARGE LOAD VERY COMPACT AND SLEEK ALL THE WASH CYCLES YOU COULD NEED EXCELLENT 30MIN PROGRAMME LOVE IT WOULD TOTALY RECOMMEND THIS MODEL

Love the timer. You can set it so that it comes on in so many hours dead easy. Very quiet when running. Large drum.

Absolutely delighted (as above scoring). Easy to set - ie I use the half hour cycle most of the time. Like the digital features, especially showing how many minutes left. The larger drum means I can put more washing in and now would be able to wash a double duvet. Rating is more economical than my previous machine. In fact, nothing negative to report - love it!

love the trainer cycle

Simple, wuick and easy to use. Minimum noise. Love it!

looks, quality and techno love it all........

Washes and rinses better than any previous machine I've had, so easy to use, one dial - then alter temperature, spin speed and length of wash if you wish. Very steady and makes the cutest musical sounds start and finish, quick wash does a GREAT job, I LOVE this machine.

Brilliant drum size, silent as a mouse, love the different washing cycles that are available.

fantastic range of cycles, can also run just a spin cycle on its own! pretty quiet, easy to use, overall great value, i love it!

Washes the clothes very clean and the free bottle of Ariel liquid that i got with my machine makes my clothes smell lovely lo!

wife loves it

Looks great, easy to use, big cylinder ... Love it !!

a bit pricey, but you only get what you pay for - love it

Excellemt machine, love the delay start, my washing is ready for me on a morning, nice and fresh ready to hang outside. all round excellent machine - best I have ever owned - definitely recommend.

kids love to play with it Long washing cycles

Looks cool Good features Kids love to play with it

Easy to understand the controls. A huge range of settings available to change programme length and/or temperature and spin speed. Large drum and lovely quiet motor. excellent machine.

Very quiet. Very effiecient. Spins well effectively reducing drying time Love the anti crease function

looks lovely, very quiet, good choice of programmes, and can change the spin cycle if wanted.

Really beautiful looking machine that counts you down through the length of the cycle (which varies depending on weight and options chosen) and sings to you when the wash has ended. Door opens immediately which is lovely. Steam options make for a really great clean along side the medic rinse option which is great for deep cleaning big piles of gym clothes that have to go on a 30 degree programme. Delay timer is very useful, although the machine is wonderfully quiet (allowing for night time washing) I found that the laudry smelt a bit stale so I can delay it to wash until just before I get up so the wash is fresh.

I love this washing machine! It has a lovely large 7kg drum, which is just what I need with a messy 3year old and another on the way! This washing machine is really easy to use and I would definatly recommend it

Love it! very quiet, plenty of programmes to choose from.
