Carol, Derbyshire Frequent user

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: very quiet compared to my old whirlpool. Excellent that you can change the selected programme to a higher or lower wash temperature and adjust the spin speed if needed, which means you can get a 50min quick wash which is more than adequate for everyday washing.
Bad points:: Not found any yet.

Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Drum size (Kilograms)	8

Type of loading	Front loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
Energy efficiency	A*
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.

Height in cm	85
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Depth in cm	63

Noise level (Decibels)	73
Measures how loud the machine is. For quieter machines, look for models with a noise level under 60 decibles.

A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!
