hazel, bolton , “ordinary working grandma”

Score 8.0/10

+ wide range of cycles allowes all types of materials to be safely washed also like the memory function the size of the drum and economy functions the large wide opening door allowing easy access also like the clean lines and easy clean

- the only bad point of purchasing this machine was how difficult it was to remove the bolts from the back of the machine not only did i have to purchase a small tool to enable me to remove them it took an incredible amount of time

+ This washing machine is really simple to use and has loads of different cycles that actually make sense. It is very quite and has a really large drum so you can fit oversized items in it like duvet sets. It is slightly on the expensive side and you can get cheaper models, however the last machine I had was a hotpoint and it lasted 15 years. At the time is was considered expensive too. If this one lasts the same it will be well worth the extra money.

- I dont have any

+ This is a really good looking machine. Loads of programmes. Massive drum - fewer loads.

- Intitial problems with it spimming, seemes to need a settling in period. Im on my second machine and after it not spinning on the first 2 washes its now working fine. Programme countdown is great but not very accurate. Cycle times also seem to be very long on most programes too.

+ Quick and easy to use cycles. Has program memory to remember the cycles you use most often. Very quiet and has only a cold water feed to save money. Good delay function. Very happy indeed!

- Hose supplied could do with being a bit longer - and why, if it is a cold water feed, is the hose red?!

Georgia, Leicester

Score 5.0/10

+ It's really quiet- a tumble weed whisper of nothingness. Looks smart, modern and the silver white colour is modern. The drum is cavernous and swallows a a double duvet easily and spins it almost dust dry. You can rotate the dial back and forth to select the programme required which is an LCD display- but you can pick and choose which elements of the wash cycle you might need to a certain extent.

- The cycle times are extraordinarily pedantic, long (hot wash is almost THREE HOURS ) and this is supposed to be an 'A' efficiency machine. I didn't find it washed particularly clean on smaller articles of clothing and more than a few times clothing came out with soap streaks on them- so they needed to be rinsed through again. I didn't like the position of the soap dispenser which is hidden behind the self contained electonic unit once closed. There's NO meddling with your washing once its switched on. Pricey too - maybe because it's a newer model. Still waiting for electricity bill though...

+ once you get the basic programs into your head its easy ! you just save them !!! love the bed and bath programme , two full sets of single or one complete king size come out clean and barely crushed because of the size of drum !! before we had a 6kg drum and had to split loads .... with four kids , hubby , dog etc this is a must

- spin has gor noisier as the machine has settled in . on day one you couldnt hear it !! program times a bit long but you can adjust each one to personalise ....

Manufacturer's Description

Automatic consumption control. Reduces Creases. Extra Rinse.

Main functions

  • Delay Start
  • Automatic consumption control

Reduces Creases

  • Smooth out the wrinkles with this option that reduces both the wash agitation and spin speed, meaning washing comes out with fewer creases to ease your pressing problems.

Extra Rinse

  • Extra Rinse is an extra 14 litre rinse for when you have to be sure all traces or detergent have gone.

Mini load

  • Mini Load is ideal if you want to wash a few items quickly, selecting this button uses less water and energy and saves you time.

Duvet cycle

  • Say goodbye to treks to the dry cleaners. Aqualtis models are equipped with a special wash programme for duvets, quilts and padded jackets that has been designed to ensure a deep clean while taking extra care of the padding.

Bed and Bath Cycle

  • Ever wished you could wash the entire family’s bedding and towels in a single load? Aqualtis washing machines will wash a set of bedding for a double bed, two single bed sets and four towels in just under two hours without compromising on wash performance or results.

Shirt Cycle

  • This specific programme allows you to wash shirts with maximum care and with the guarantee that ironing will be much easier. Thanks to a special drum rotation, and the right quantity of water, wrinkles are diminished and colours and textiles remain good as new.
