J.T, Huddersfield

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: The economy cycles which are shorter are excellent and perfectly eadequate for routine items such as bedding, towels and things that need regular washing to stay fresh. I haven't got round to using the timer but the potential to be able to do that is great.
Bad points:: The environmental cycle is incredibly long which is great if you turn it on before going out but not so good if you want to do 2 or 3 washes one after the other. It can be quite noisy

Good points:: Looks good. Good easy to use wash programmes. Washing washing clean.
Bad points:: Noisy. Although 1600 spin not 1600 spin in the programme. Always have to re spin after every wash. Could do with more 30 degree wash cyclene

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.
