sandra, bury

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: The wash cycles are very flexible with a quick wash only taking 29 minutes which is great for most items which usually only need freshening up. There is also a stain buster addition to the cotton wah (anything from 40 degrees upwards, this does the entire wash in warm water - great value for money
Bad points:: haven't found any yet

Good points:: Very quiet on both wash & spin
clothes are almost dry on the fastest spin speeds
Plenty of options
Three short wash options

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)	6

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.
