+ The machine is incredibly user friendly and looks very modern. So far we have experienced no problems at all and it always delivers excellent cleaning.

- Because there are only buttons and no dials you are unable to get a wash lower than 30 degrees. Some newer detergents on the market boast outstanding cleaning at only 15 degrees but they would be pointless with this machine.

+ This 'moon' is a work of art and is a delight to use! The difference in the wash was amazing - everthing has been given a new lease of life! Whites are whiter and even the 'quick wash' cycle of 30 degrees is first class! The spin causes a bit more noise than expected but it's worth it as the clothes are almost half dry when they come out! Obviously, the 30 degree feather delicates option does not spin - Powder,tablets and fabric conditioner options (inside of door!) (you certainly don't need to use as much as other machines to
achieve a great result in washing standard!) The fact that the machine came with a full year guarantee service and repair
and a further service thereafter of spare parts (repair man optional with fee)
really 'sealed the deal' No need for extras added to invoice re: aftercare Dixons were professional and efficient with speedy delivery
and connection by friendly staff. Plus the price was incredible compared to the other sites
for the same machine!

- Don't think it has any - It looks great and is a delight to use!
