Paul, Ryde Retired

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: yes wonderful looks, seems excellent good value for money It is alot quieter than my last machine and that alone is a bonus!
Bad points:: poorly fitting soap drawer, and drain door at bottom on front. First use it was quiet and seemed so perfect, but now after a few washes, it rattles and wants to jump about, so had to wedge it in place
If it gets any noisier on fast spin i may have to call someone in to check it over, as it was quiet the first time.
