Good points:: Nothing special - it is cheap and cheerful but...

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: If your short on space this machine is great. The programmes are easy to use and its not too noisy.
Bad points:: If anything is missing it could do with a quick wash programer of about 30mins. The dry time seems to take longer than my just tumble dryer, but i'm told thats normal with a washer dryer.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Great machine, keeps my family in clean fresh clothes, as I have 3 children under 10 it's well used. Can easily fit in a single duvet.
Bad points:: No spin times displayed on the machine or a count down time to let you know how much longer the cycle will take.

Product Features

Spin efficiency	B

Wash efficiency	A
This rating refers to how well a machine cleans during a cycle. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products the least efficient.
Energy Savings Trust feature	No

Height in cm	85
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.

Depth in cm	56.5

Type of dryer	Condenser
Vented dryers have a hose which transfers the waste, damp air out of the machine and through a hole in the wall or a window to the outside. They are less expensive than condenser machines but the hose means they need to be placed by an outside wall. Condenser machines collect the excess water within the machine which can then be emptied after use. They therefore do not need a hose and can be placed anywhere in the house.
Release date	2008-05-09
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
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.
Revolutions per minute	1400

Water control system	Yes
Helps to protect against flooding by monitoring any leaks from the machine. If a leak is detected, it will close the valve to stop any more water entering the machine.
Start delay option	No
Enables you to delay the start of the cycle. This is useful if you want to set the machine to go on during the night so that you can take advantage of cheaper electricity rates.
Display	No
Child lock	Yes
A mechanism that makes it difficult for children to open the machine during operation.
Water Consumption in Litres (60° C)	62
The average amount of water your machine uses per 60 degree wash.
