Sarah, Alford

Score 10.0/10

+ Brilliant wash, excellent spin speed, very easy to use.

- My husband thinks the position of the line indicating the wash program is confusing. When you turn the program knob you have to line the indicator up with the line underneath the description of the program you want and he finds this difficult to see.

+ very quiet and easy to use

- 1600 spin speed can only be used on a 'cotton' wash at 60 degrees. It can't be selected on the separate spin cycle.

+ very easy to use, little noise and clean, 'dry' washing every wash

- Machine displayed a 'a fatal error' 10 mins after switching on for 1st time. Took 2 wks and a new circuit board before it was funcional. Despite this it has proven to be a good buy.

Helen, london

Score 10.0/10

+ Love the 15 minute quick wash. Incredibly useful. Otherwise better version of old machine. Most of the wash cycles longer than on old model, but that seems par for the course now... somehow energy efficiency simply means programmes taking more time.

- Slightly irritating button to change spin speed and when the cycle finishes you're faced with the dreaded beeping. I've only just managed to stop my Bosch dishwasher doing that after 3 years... haven't yet figured out how to get rid of it on the washing machine.

Rachel, Gislingham, Eye

Score 9.0/10

+ Excellent washing machine, it cleans the clothes really well (I have a 2 and 4 year old!) The 1600 spin spins the clothes so they are just damp and therefore are much quicker to dry, but be careful to read labels as I have shrunk trousers and tops in this spin!! I don't use a tumble dryer like I used to I just put them on the airer indoors when its wet weather and they dry by the next day.

- The only point which I would comment on is you can't finish off a washing programme from the middle of the cycle, I only need to do this when my son turns the washing programme knob in the middle of a cycle! you have to start the whole cycle again. There is no safety device for the programme knob and it is very easy to turn.

Score 9.0/10

+ Having only ever having had two rather cheap washing machines in my fairly long washing 'career', I have been amazed at how efficient this machine is and how well it washes. The 'dark wash' cycle was the big test for me as my previous machine was rubbish and always left light marks on the clothes. This machine washed black trousers very well with no marks whatsoever. I also managed to get red wine stains out of white tablecloths so, sad as I am, I am a very happy bunny with this machine.

- Haven't found anything major yet, although the control buttons are very touch sensitive and I have unwittingly altered a cycle by accidentally brushing against one.

We own several properties have tried different makes and models of washers and many other white goods. This model was therefore a repeat purchase after being used and assessed by my family as the best for value for money, features and economy in use.
