Score 7.0/10

Good points:: The large capacity is great, the ability to do half loads is really useful if you don't have enough laundry for full capacity. The machine also does eco cycles using a cooler, quicker wash.
Bad points:: The depth of the machine is more than my worktop so it does stick out a couple of inches. In addition, having owned the machie 4 months mine has developed 3 cracks in the casing, presumably from the vibrations when the machine is on. Unfortunately this will not be fixed under the warranty unless it is a mechanical fault!

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Easy to start using straight away, washes clothes really well.
Bad points:: Some of the cycles are quite long but there is always the short was option. Takes three presses of the button to get it going so sometimes I've thought I've put it on, gone out, only to come back to find the washing hasn't been started yet!

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)	9

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.
Energy efficiency	A
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.
Width in cm	59.5

Height in cm	85
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Depth in cm	53.5

Drum material	Plastic

Spin efficiency	B
The more efficient the spin, the more water will be extracted from your washing which means it will need less time in the dryer or less time on the line. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products the least efficient.
Energy Savings Trust feature	No
A Yes means this this product has been rated as being energy-efficient by the Energy Savings Trust. Good for the environment and good for your electricity bill!
Revolutions per minute	1400

Water control system	No
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.
Display of remaining time	Yes
Tells you how long there is left until the end of the cycle.
Start delay option	Yes
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.
