+ Programme times

- No extra rinse facility

+ Easy to understand instructions. Very quiet. Takes a large load. Good spin speeds.

- None have come to light so far.

+ Very happy about the product. Good value for money i think the best in the market

- Nothing much to say. However the Softner does not empty some times I think it gets blocked from time to time

+ The washer is wonderful so quiet and economical but the very best feature is the brilliant spin cycle the clothes when they come out are nearly dry and only need a short airing - I am exceedingly pleased with the washing machine - I still have not used all it's features - having been used to an old washing machine it's difficult to find all the machines good points in such a short time - but I do know that this machine is the very best buy that I have ever made - I am very happy with my purchase and would recomend the machine to anyone wishing to buy a new washing machine. 10 out of 10.

- At this point in time I can find nothing bad about the machine at all - it has some wonderful points that as such I have not tried - like the timer so yoiu can begin a cycle at whatever time that suits you - another good point is that it tells you how far it is into the wash cycle and how much longer it has to finish the cycle - yet another good point I really can't find anything wrong with the machine - its wonderful and I love it.

+ its quite silent,nice design and has come in attractive colours...

- it doesnt buzz you after the cycle.

+ It has the programmes that i wanted most, such as half loads, delicates, etc and it also has a bigger drum for maximum use and it has a reduced noise level which is great.

- The cycle times are a little long but other than that, none.

+ Quiet, very fast spin. Easy to use

- none

+ large drum size

+ everything - it says hello when you turn it on (my name is not Dave). although i miss the 'one item' i had in previous machine, the quick wash is much quicker

- not really a bad point - although i gave 10/10 for noise, the water filling and emptying is a bit noisy but that's because it's not closed in and echoes. once it's built in i'm sure that will sort itself out. actual spin is so quiet it's like a sleeping newborn, you have to check it to make sure it's still working!

+ plenty of options for use and very quiet

- minimum loads on some washes I feel are too large

+ wife loves it

- wife uses it eeveryday

+ Large drum capacity and quiet spin.

- Detergent drawer.

+ You can set the temperature to suit the load.
Large drum size
Delay functionality

+ It is the quietest machine I have ever owned. Lots of useful features - delayed start, memory of most frequently used programs etc.
I am very pleased with my purchase - much better than the much more expensive machine that I owned previously.

- Not really found any!

+ I could not believe how quiet it was, I know most manufacturers advertise these claims, but it really is the quietest washing machine I have every owned.

+ excellent all rounder, definately made the right choice with this one.
lots of features - particularly like the delay start, very useful - can set it to start and finish just after getting up in morning, ready to peg out freshly done. brill if you have a busy lifestyle.
large drum - my old washer was 6kg - this is 8kg, can fit in so much more - makes life easier.
very user friendly, also says 'hello' to you when you switch it on,
very quiet - except for the fast 1600 spin which i dont really think can be silenced,
all information displayed clearly - time remaining etc.
over-all very pleased with this machine, would recommend to anyone.

- no bad points

+ Easy to understand and use. Very quiet in operation. Panel that indicates time left in wash cycle is very useful.

- None

+ Fab machine, huge variety of cycles and options, fully customisable. I have a baby in cloth nappies and this machine is perfect for washing them :)

+ So far so good. Its very quiet, so quiet that I had to keep checking it was still on. It beeps when its finished. The settings are really easy and so is the time delay setting. I just set it before bed and when I get up, the washing is ready to hang out!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ quiet, small depth (56.5 cm), 8kg wash, 1600rpm spin

- time left display inaccurate

+ Large drum size; wash programmes and available modifications; door opens quicly once program finished; quiet operation; efficient spin.

- No extra rinse, so have to use rinse cycle wasting water. However if I catch it Iin time it is easy to stop the machine part way through the wash rinse cycle and start the rinse program. We have sensitive skin.

+ The things that i think that are good on this washing machine is the child lock button very handy has my 19 month old likes to push the buttons while in the middle of a cycle now she can't interrupt the cycle. Also it is fairly quiet machine too. And as it is a 1600 spin the clothes seem to come out drier so it takes less time in the tumble dryer to dry. Also i like the fact that you can see how much time is left on the washing machine on the digital displayer which is cool. it also looks nice too. i'd highly recommend this washing machine.

- nothing really.

+ Large capacity and good pre-set options for washloads. Spin speed is excellent, clothes come out virtually dry and the noise level is very low.

- Door opens on wrong side, nothing else wrong.

+ All Good, not had any issues very quiet, easy to use. I like the timer which tells you how long to go,

- None at the mo!

+ It is incredibly quiet, and i really like the time delay start feature

- Nothing currently

+ really easy to use

- sometimes spins quite loudly until load is evened out

+ Quiet, ability to stop and add a forgotten item, eco wash using cold water only and a quick half hour cycle for lightly soiled items.

- Not found any bad points at this stage.

+ By far the best washing machine I've ever bought. Easy to install and set-up. 9kg load, Very quiet and washing comes out very clean - what more do you want?!?!?!?

- Doesn't do the ironing

+ Quiet low energy rating and lots of programs

- time shown for different cycles isn't always the total time and times aren't included in instructions

very, very easy to use

+ How quiet and easy to use it is

- Can be confusing if you don't read the instruction book!

+ Very quiet. Pause button on it is very useful. I also like being able to wash hand woolens in it.
All in all I am very pleased with it.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very quiet, takes a very large load. Easy to use with a clear display. All the features you would ever need.

- Time remaining indicator is wrong because it seems to take longer to spin than necessary.

+ Quick wash and eco wash options. Very easy to use, you are able to change the spin speed and temperature settings for each wash. Timer to show when cycle is due to finish, plus it's very quiet.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ I'm very impressed with my new machine, it has all the cycles I need and is very quiet even when it's doing a 1600 spin. I like the fact that it has a childlock on it that prevents a certain little girl from being able to press all of the buttons at once!

- I found the dispenser drawer a little difficult to get out to clean, was worried that I would break it trying to get it out, not as easy as my last machines as it's curved rather than straight.

+ The drum size is great, the door opens virtually 180 degrees, it can wash on cole water only, or heated to as low as 30 degrees, it is quiet, has good range of settings, and clothes come out really clean and really well spun even at 800rpm.

- Some of the standard cycles are quite long and the number that shows when you select a cycle is not the time the cycle takes, even though that's what it looks like.

+ Size of drum. Cold water feed. Selection of cycles. Ease of use. Selection of spins 800 - 1600.

- Cycles take longer than stated.

+ The time saver and mini load can be used together. Bed and bath cycle is brilliant.

- None at the moment

+ Easy to understand quietish time left indicator and drum size

- gets louder when spinning and filling with water

+ Spin speed Noise levels Drum capacity

- needs lots of detergent to get wash clean

+ Good range of cycles available and spin dries clothes well.

- Moves even though setup correctly if load slight uneven when washing towels.

+ the large drum has cut down a lot on the time i used to spend on washing clothes. the door opens right back so the machine is easy to load and unload. i also like the washing powder dispenser as it mskes this function easier, and im not spilling the powder as it's at an angle. the machine is very quite.

- havent found any

+ being able to choose length of wash & spin speeds ,quiet even when spinning
very quick cycle & being able to change spin to 1600 only adds a few more minutes
having the display clock with minutes left before end of cycle.
washes well at low temperature even on short wash cycle..
best washer I have ever owned !

- none at all ,even after 4 months of use

+ It's simple to use and has a program for all types of wash cycles and is super quiet even when on the 1600 spin.

- If you use the reduce creases cycle it automatically lowers the spin speed.

+ I was looking for a washing machine with 1600 spin as i have had one before and it saves on drying time. This not only had it but also quick wash, large drum, adjustable temperatures, crease guard and many more features that i wasn't looking for when purchases this machine. I like the fact that it is very quiet compared to my friends washing machine now it can be used while the children are in bed without it disturbing them.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ Large door, easy programming once you get used to it, nice and quiet.

- None really. Havent had any problems at all.

+ This machine copes with large loads easily - washes them well. The detergent drawer is well designed. Spin speed is excellent. A satisfactory purchase.

- Not as quiet as expected especially when spinning towels. Takes a long time to complete my most used cycle.

+ Very quite spin - not quite sure why the other reviews are so bad. I think they may have not installed the machine correctly. If it is not balanced correctly it will be noisy

- Shortest cycle I use is about and hour and and a half.

+ has all the features i need with easy to learn and remember codes. has a larger drum - great for holiday washes. good spin speed

- not found any yet

+ very little noise even on maximum spin

- none so far

+ quieter than i expected

- none so far

+ It's just so quiet! Very easy to use & gets clothes clean too.

- can't think of any

+ DRUM, NOISE, PRICE, SPIN.

- N/A

+ By far the best machine we have purchased to date. Has a large drum size and hardly notice it is on!

- None so far.

+ Large drum capacity
Easy to use - intuative
Crease control
Quick cycle feature
Wash type store buttons
Quiet

- Only got a cold feed connection and short hose length (if replacing an old machine you want to know this)

+ vlery quiet as long as its on level floor Also looks good

- some wash cycles are very long, a lot longer than my old washer. Also I do not understand why the new washers are cold fill only. This meens that the washer has to heat its own water, as I have a combi boiler the hot water conection would likely have been cheaper to run.

+ Drum size - spin efficiency - price + very low noise

- None so far

+ Large capacity, whisper quiet and the spin function is fantastic. Clothes are nearly bone dry.

- No bad points at all!
