Pauline, Worcester , “I cycle a lot”
Score 9.0/10+ its easy to use,looks good,and fits the space I have.
- Like all washing machines I think it has too many different washing cycles.
purchased 02 Mar 2009
samantha, hemsworth, pontefract , “single mum, low budget”
Score 7.0/10+ this washing machine is very good and very energy efficent as it fills with cold water and there is the choice to keep it on cold water or to let the machine warm the water to the certain temperature you want for the loads.
- the cycle time are to long as if you put it on cold on the cotton choice can take at least 2 hours and if you want the temperature higer it can take anything up to 2 and half hours.

Helen, Macclesfield
Score 9.0/10+ Although this is a very basic washer, I am thrilled with the 30 minute wash programme which washes my clothes effectively, has cut my electricity costs and reduced the time it takes to do the family wash. Yes it is a bit noisy but for this price well you cannot have it al;l. The 1000rp spinner does a better job than my previos washer that had 1600rp spinner. A good buy !!

Score 9.0/10+ Good value washing machine, easy to use dial and buttons, fair size drum making it ideal for smaller families. Very quiet, you can actually have a conversation on the phone when the machine is running spin cycle. 30 min wash cycle is very handy for freshening up clothes, but does not get stains out of clothes, other wash cycles are of reasonable lengths
- The only negative thing I can say about this is that there is not a half load function, but other than that this is a really good washing machine,

Score 9.0/10+ cheap and cheerful - it does what you need it to do with no frills - cheap, compact, easy to set up, washes well, A-rated wash - no fancy features but that wasn't what i was looking for! If you want a reasonably-priced basic machine i would reccommend this one for sure.
- some people might prefer a machine where they can see the progress of the cycle - this one doesn't have any indication of how far through it is - also the wash times are kind of long due to the cold fill only - but just leave it to on with the job and it will do it just fine
