+ large capacity is good but I was led to believe the cycles would be shorter. When washing at full capacity u need at least two hours to get clean clothes per load.

Ally, North West / Cumbria , “Busy mum or dad”

Score 9.0/10

+ displays time left for each wash. I like the idea of being able of setting the washing ready for a certain time, although I am yet to use this feature. Its pretty quiet compared to our old Hotpoint one. I also like the fact that I can change the temperture on each was as I desire. Can put upto 7kg of washing in saving me doing 2 sparate loads, also like the feature of being able to add more water.

- it's white, not silver so stands out in our kitchen! the other colours available for this model, costs considerable more. Apart from this, no bads points so far.

Linda, Norwich , “Busy mum or dad”

Score 10.0/10

+ Good quality machine, quiet running which you would expect from a new machine. My old hotpoint wouldn't take the fabric softener for years so this is a plus. Like the delayed start so I can run it at night to take advantage of cheap electricity. Each programme can be tailored individually.

- Instructions booklet not very clear, from language I would say it's been translated from German(?) It states in literature that there is a half load setting but appears you have to use the Wash plus setting if you are doing a full load. Would rather have had that option the other way round/
