Mary, Lurgan (northern Ireland)

+ large drum size means larger loads less washs needed. ability to override set programs eg for a particular wash cycle temp may be 40oC and spin speed say 600 but i can easily change the spin speed or temp without a major change in time. This gives a lot more choice.

- nothing evident as yet
