Score 9.0/10+ Attractive and Stylish washing machine. As there is No Detergent tray means there is no detergent/mouldy build up.

Mary, Gateshead
+ it,'s relatively quiet when in use, and the price was very good for the brand. Its eay to use and its energy efficient.
- The cycle times are quite long and the spin for 40 degrees in my opinion should have been 1400 and not 1000

- Wash cycles take far too long so not sure how this can be energy efficient, the addition of a 40 degree 40 minute wash would really benefit this machine

Rachael, Hull
Score 5.0/10+ very good looks, nice and quiet too. Very energy efficient and quite easy to use.
- Cant select a spin only or a 30 degree wash with a good spin, also the quick wash program needs a faster spin as they come out quite wet still.

Score 10.0/10+ Soooooooo easy to use. No messy drawers to clean. A half an hour cycle- who needs 2 hours for everyday stuff!!

Score 8.0/10+ The daily 30 wash is very good, it looks great and I love not having a detergent draw that gets all clogged up.

Samantha, Corby
Score 9.0/10+ 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!
