Score 9.0/10+ Easy to use. Cycles are quite quick, handy when you have three kids and they need it washed and dry now!!
- Can be a bit noisy at times during the spin cycle but not for long. No other bad points. Did have a fault with it when it arrived (door would not lock) but Indesit sent an engineer straight out and he fixed it immediately.

Score 9.0/10+ This washing machine is very basic but it does eveything it needs to. It is fairly quiet, very easy to use and I like that it has a temperature control dial and lights that show where the wash cycle is up to. The rapid wash setting cleans a load very well in under 40 minutes, as others mention it takes quite a bit longer for the standard wash cycle but having read the reviews of many other more expensive washing machines they seem to take almost as long anyway so why pay all that extra money - I'm glad I didn't !! Highly recommended.

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!
