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.

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.

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.

- The washine machine is unable to use full spin on most of the programmes and the clothes come out very wet. Having to do a separate spin cycle after every wash to have the clothes dry. Not very energy efficient. Only 1 A rated wash programme an it takes over 3 hrs.
