Karen, Romford, Essex Frequent user

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: It's attractive, quiet, simple to use, flexible in that you can adjust settings per programme
Bad points:: What is very disappointing and very misleading is the fact you cannot wash on a 1400 spin unless it's a full cycle at 60 degrees. I wanted to be able to put my 40 degree, one hour washes on 1400 and I purchased the machine for that reason. If I had known it was only possible on a max of 1200 I might have chosen a cheaper model so feel quite cheated about that.

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)	7

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.
Width in cm	60

Height in cm	84.7
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Depth in cm	59

Noise level (Decibels)	56
Measures how loud the machine is. For quieter machines, look for models with a noise level under 60 decibles.
Drum material	Stainless Steel

Spin efficiency	B
The more efficient the spin, the more water will be extracted from your washing which means it will need less time in the dryer or less time on the line. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products the least efficient.
Energy Savings Trust feature	No
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!
Revolutions per minute	1400

Water control system	No
Helps to protect against flooding by monitoring any leaks from the machine. If a leak is detected, it will close the valve to stop any more water entering the machine.
Water Consumption in Litres (60° C)	47
The average amount of water your machine uses per 60 degree wash.
Display of remaining time	Yes
Tells you how long there is left until the end of the cycle.
Start delay option	Yes
Enables you to delay the start of the cycle. This is useful if you want to set the machine to go on during the night so that you can take advantage of cheaper electricity rates.
