Score 10.0/10

+ Very easy to use, good size drum, fast spin speed, quiet when spinning, and economical to run.

- No major bad points, cycle times can be longer than I'd like and the noise when the the machine is filling with water is a little louder than it could be.

+ All good, wash cycles are pretty long - 40 degree cotton wash 2.5 hours! But there's a quick wash alternative.

- None to date. Machine is big! Make sure you have the space for it if fitting in an enclosed space - both height and wdith.

Louisa, West Yorkshire , “Busy mum or dad” More like this »

Score 10.0/10

+ I chose this machine because it combines a large capacity with energy efficiency, both important to me. A friend recommended the brand, and then this model got an excellent Which rating. It's extraordinarily quiet, really easy to use with flexible settings and I'm very pleased with how it washes everything, including massive items like kingsize quilts.

- I can't find any bad points!

Score 9.0/10

+ Really quiet,excellent wash,huge drum means machine on much less than old one. Looks great in kitchen as we had integrated before. Just really love this machine, also plays funny wee tune when its finished, which i find myself humming along to!! By the way its only few seconds long the tune.Great machine.

- the only bad point is that it doesnt have spin cycle on its own, but i just use correct programs & really find i dont miss this function anymore.
