Ginette, Durham Frequent user
- Good points:
- I like the way the display shows how long a chosen cycle is going to take and that it counts down so if you are busy doing other things you can keep checking see how long is left. I have found it is very quiet -compared to my old machine - even when it is on a spin cycle.
- Bad points:
- There are a lot of cycles that take much too long - one takes over 3 hours - sorry but life is too short! I find I stick to 2 or 3 cycles 2 that are @ 60 mins that I use for main washes & 1 that is 30 mins which I use just for freshening up rarely worn items.
