+ The machine is quiet and unobtrusive in its actions.
The bvery high speed rinse cycle makes the clothing almost dry at the end of the cycle. Altogether a very good machine for the money.

- None noticeable so far.

Catherine, Manchester

Score 8.0/10

+ Easy to use, clear display. Lots of good cycle choices most of which allow you to change certain of the settings (eg temp). Delay timer also very useful. 1600 spin means certain items seem almost dry when you take them out!

- Can't seem to pause the cycle (eg if it is in a noisy spin and you want to stop it for a few minutes). Can't always tell if you started it properly when using the delay timer. Can be a little noisy in the spin.

+ Good value, bought nearly the same model 3ish years ago. With the 1600 spin clothes come out nearly dry. It's worth buying this without the extended warranty as it's cheaper to buy a new machine when it breaks down. I'll keep buying this model....

- Cheap brand, only certain cycles allow you to use the 1600 spin. Don't expect the machine to last forever!!
