Thomas, Edinburgh Retired

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Looks smart and seems to work efficiently.
Bad points:: No handle to open door - you press the button. The method of fixing using screws is more difficult than the previous model which used a key.

Martin, Hull Busy mum or dad

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: price, relatively cheap compared with some manufacturers and looks good
Bad points:: Appliance looks good but lacks that quality feel in the way it is put together and the materials used. If i was buying again i would pay the extra and purchase the comparative Bosch or Neff appliance.
