sarah, leeds , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 9.0/10+ Very clean wash, no nonsense reliable efficient machine. extremely compact.
- Drum not as big as i was expecting as although it is a bigger drum in width,the machine is not as deep as other machines, but it is still a little bigger than average.

laura, chislehurst , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 1.0/10+ it looks nice and thats it!
-
It makes an horrific noise ~ im on eco 7 as we have no gas. No longer can i do an early morning wash or even when my fiance gets in at 9am, even my neighbours have complained!
The dial settings take a bit of getting used too as there are duplicate of everything!
It has the smallest drum i have ever seen in a machine ~ i struggle to get 3 sheets in there!
Now it appears that if i dont have the dial bang in the centre of the cycle setting ~ the machine jumps out 2ft and up half a ft, which is quite scary if theres a child about!
I hate this machine and will be buying a new one after christmas.

Score 9.0/10+ easy to use and spins well
- none
purchased 17 Jun 2009
Corrina, Co.Antrim , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 10.0/10+ This was the best choice of machine available for the money, it is very easy to use and has multi-settings for spin cycle, delayed start modes and is very quiet compared to my old Hotpoint machine. ( I was a bit concerned after reading some reviews on the size of the drum, but when you see the diameter of the drum compared to most you will see the 6kg load is obviously a true reflection of the maximum load although I have put more in with on issues.)
- No bad points it does exactly watch the manufacturers description says.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 10.0/10+ Very quiet, spin is excellent, lots of program variety
- The drum is not as deep as other machines I have had although it is a lot wider, but doesn't appear to hold as much as expected
purchased 08 Sep 2009
Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 9.0/10+ There is a 29 min cycle and a 59 min cycle ideal for use for those items that just need a quick wash
- none so far
purchased 01 Nov 2009
carly, Ingatestone , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 9.0/10+ very please with overall product
- Drum size could have been larger
purchased 26 Jul 2009
Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 10.0/10+ lots of different cycles
- doesnt do 1600 spin on a 44min wash
purchased 26 Aug 2009
Anonymous verified purchaser , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 9.0/10+ It is simple to use , the drum size won't allow it to be overloaded, two selections of spin speed 1600 and 800. A economical 44 minute wash for half loads. The 30 degree wash can be used on most washes rather than 40. Can see that the machine calculates the optimum water amount for the wash load so hopefully water bills will come down!
- A greater range of spins e.g 1200 would have been good. Only takes half load for 44 minutes wash. The wash cycle is noiser than I expected.

Amy, Essex , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 10.0/10+ Low noise - features are excellent
- Reviewer left no comment
purchased 15 Oct 2009
Keith, Basingstoke , “Busy mum or dad”
Score 9.0/10+ Fast spin speed, so noticeably shorter tumble drying times. Faster cycles than my last Hoover model. Reasonable noise levelsfor such a fast spin
- Slightly smaller load size (drum not as deep as other models)
