Good points:: quiet, stunning looks,
washes very well
so easy to understand
senors on dryer spot on
can adjust spin speeds, how many rinses, temp, on most programms
.. even during washing, just pause, change what you wish and let machine carry on.
child lock v good.
fan cools down machine if you try to get in early on drying cyles, so you dont get burnt
door outside stays cool
Bad points:: soap drawer vibrates on some spin cycles
machine dimensions deeper than many
have had baby socks get trapped in door bottom... so use a wasing net.
being glossy black shows all marks!

Good points:: looks good, easy to use and quick programs are very useful. not tried everything yet but so far has been pretty self explanatory and easy to use.
Bad points:: It does stick out further than some appliances as mentioned by others, but this is really down to the plug socket behind the appliance. I have move the socket inside the unit next to the applianc and the machine now slides back further and fits fine.

jo, bedfordshire Busy mum or dad

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Quiet. Efficient. Economical. Water fill is a bit noisy but not as noisy as my old Zanussi IZ jetstream. Wash and spin is quiet. I even do my laundry at midnight sometimes and I have kids in bed. Excellent 29 minute quick-wash facility.
Bad points:: Slightly noisy water fill. I don't like the way the fabric conditioner draw holds water after the cycle is complete. I have to empty it before each use. Took me a while to figure out how to work the dryer whihc is a bit complicated.
