Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Washes really well though advise to use extra rinse cycle to get all soap out. Nice big door so easy to load and unload and pretty easy to use generally. Good price.
Bad points:: Pretty noisy and lacks some useful features a more expensive machine would have e.g. a timer to show how far along the cycle the programme is.

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: High speed spin dries the clothes better for the final hot air drying process.

A good-looking model with a nice metallic finish.
Bad points:: Very heavy machine to manoeuvre into place. Needs two people, at least, for the job.

This refers to where you can load the washing into 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.
