manuela, oxford

Score 8.0/10

+ it looks lovely. I like the fact that is calculates how much water to use and I like the option to reduce the washing cycle by 30%. It is relatively silent and cleans much better than my old washer. If is not too complicated or flashy. It does exactly what you need a washing machine to do without all the whistles and bells

- none really. I would have liked to have had a seperate compartment for bleach, but otherwise it is perfect.

+ Excellent machine for the price, being one of the lower priced machine on offer.
It washes very well.

- It does have a quick wash facility, which suits us better, but we do not use the quicker wash, as the spin speed doesnt spin and leave the clothes as dry as on a normal wash

- It is quite noisy. Also, the dimensions on the website are bigger than the machine actually is. If I'd taken notice of the dimensions, I wouldn't have bought the machine as it would be too large for the space, when in actuality it fits perfectly.
