+ Excellent price, plenty of cycles to choose from and a has a quick wash to reduce cycle time. The machine has different spin speeds and even when its not on the highest the clothes hardly need much drying time in the tumble dryer.

- If you dont use quick wash the cycle times are quite long. The higher the spin the noiser it is but its only for a short time.

+ all the programme instruction guides are on machine facing which makes it so much easier to follow and means you don't need to keep referring to handbook.

- not really what i'd call a bad point, cycle times are different to old machine so that will take time to get used to. eg i could be getting on with some housework and know when wash had finished but with new machine some washes are quicker, some slower. i like to get washing out of machine as soon as it finishes!

+ The Short cycle is a very good option as some of the cycle times are over an hour. This option cuts down on the actual wash time when items only need a swill instead of a good, long wash.

- Not necessarily a bad point, but the cycle times are a lot longer than my previous machine, although the short cycle is very useful, as above.
