Rachel, Grimsby
Score 10.0/10+ It takes up less room than the old washing machine but still takes the same size load. Its a lot quieter and I like the 30 degree colour wash option - using it all the time for practically every load.
- When the washing has finished there is always some scum left on the inside of the door and the rubber around the door as though it has not rinsed away properly. When I come to get the washing out of the machine it brushes off onto the clothes and leaves white marks that I have to get rid of.

Score 8.0/10+ Exelent machnie to use. We are getting very good results. The controls are very easy to use.

Score 7.0/10+ Price, Quiet, Smaller drum than my previous machine but still takes a fair amount.
- Spins very well but this results in heavily creased clothes which are hard to iron - not quite sure how the anti crease button helps! Much longer cycle times than my old machine which did a wash aty50 degrees in under an hour. This one takes 1 hour 20m.

Score 7.0/10+ It looks good and has a good amount of cycle choices for the price.
- Trying to remove the transit bolts was a bit tricky with 2 of them being inlaid also, the trying to level it was problematic as you had to tip the machine right back to adjust it. Which wasnt any good when each time you adjusted you had to push the machine back into its slot in the kitchen to see if it was level, then, pull it back out to adjust again.

The size of the drum is adequate for my family's washing. There are indicators for cycle stages on the panel and to indicate when its job is complete.
It is a silent machine even at full spin and it has a cold water only inlet with an optional cycle for cold water wash.
All the features of regular pricey machines included in this model and for that this is excellent value for money.

Score 4.0/10+ The 30 minute cycle is rapid and good enough to use on everyday wear that isn't too dirty. The controls are easy to use and it looks very pretty, shiny and new.
- The machine moves across the floor during the spin cycle. Even with being leveled, the machine moved so much that it pulled the socket out of the wall as it jiggled 2 meters across my kitchen. I have been known to stand with the machine holding it in place - tiring but I suppose trying to be positive it's a good work out for my arms!
