Al, Ashford Frequent user

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Looks good with efficient, clean wash every time. Only uses correct amount of water needed as each load is weighed before it starts.

My kids love the sounds the machine makes upon starting/finishing.

Very well built machine - its so heavy! Can't believe some other comments about machine "moving" during programme - mine certainly doesn't! Good value for money.
Bad points:: Some cycle times seem quite lengthy but then again it does wash well! Booklet not very helpful with time delay programme but quite easy to work out!

When trying to get to know your machine no cycle will ever be the same time span (apart from a few pre-set timed programmes) as each load individually weighed but this is something you get used to!

My own fault for not checking before buying but wish it offerred temp setting of 50 deg and also spin speed of 1200. To jump from spin of 1000 to 1400 not ideal for me.

Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Drum size (Kilograms)	8

Type of loading	Front loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
