Score 10.0/10

+ Excellent machine. It is considerably quieter than my old machine and it vibrates considerably less too! Cycle times are shorter. It is very simple to use and the build quality is solid. I wanted a simple, well-built more up-to-date washing machine, and this certainly fits the bill.

- Not really a bad point, but it would have been nice to have an inbuilt timer to enable washing to be carried out at night.

Carol, Poole , “Frequent user”

Score 9.0/10

+ Quiet, quicker wash time than previous machine, good choice of programmes, very effective spin cycle.

- The 'On' button does not operate as the 'Off' button and takes some getting used to; pressing the 'On' button inadvertently at the end of the cycle starts the programme again. Manual not very comprehensive.

Philip, Cardiff , “Frequent user”

Score 8.0/10

+ Low noise level. Brand name. Height set at 548mm leaving a good clearance to worktops.

- Handbook instructions are not clear and need reading a couple of times to fully understand operating instructions.

Product Features

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.

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.
