Score 8.0/10

+ easy to set up, worked instantly, great improvement in versatility over our former Hotpoint washing machine circa 1989 [yes, still working up to 2009 until programmer went intermittent!]

- instruction book had large number of programmes and to a degree was initially confusing in selecting washing requirements. Otherwise the machine itself is OK

+ East to use, Quiet washing machine.

- Can't alter spin speed. It is set with various cycles. I would have liked short cycle to have max spin speed but you can't have it.

Marion, Falkirk Scotland , “Retired”

Score 9.0/10

+ This was bought after my other machine gave up the ghost after constant use for approximately 20 years - so you can nderstand I feel I have made a very good buy and am finding my way around all the different settings

- When I first used the machine it was the time taken to do a wash BUT that was solved by me reading the instruction book
