Score 10.0/10+ The machine is very easy to use and I love the fact you can set it on a 3, 6 or 9 hour timer. I like of various option of cycles and is proving to be very energy efficent.
- The only disappointing factor, but not a major one is that the cycle times are a bit long. I like to wash at 40 degrees so expected the cycle to be no more than 1 hour, whereas it way over this and at times using the fast spin can be noisy, not a main issue I just close the door.

Jenni, Edinburgh , “Recently retired lady”
Score 4.0/10+ Quite easy to use. Large drum.
- I didn't really think it through so it's my own fault - but I am irritated by the cold water only fill as it is expensive to heat the water from cold when I have plenty of hot water to use. I also don't like the rigid programming e.g. can't wash at 30 degrees on the cotton programme. Higher spin speeds only available on the cotton programme which takes far too long.
