+ very easy to use especially like the angle of the dispenser drawer you don't trap your fingers pushing tablets in as normal drawers

- noisier then expected especially as claim for being quiet was one reason I bought it.

+ It does the job and it was cheap.

- Noisy and takes ages, but all washing machines make some noise and they all take time, so these negatives don't detract too much from the washing experience.

+ For the price, this is a nice little performer. It was quick and easy to install.

- The drum is a little smaller than my previous one, and it doesn't have a hot water feed so has to heat its own water for each load.

nina , epsom, surrey , “a satisfied customer”

Score 10.0/10

+ The washing machine is easy to use and has good features such as a cycle for really dirty clothes and a cycle just for a quick wash. You can just put it on a rinse and spin if you have hand washed clothes which I found convenient and easy. Overall this is a good machine.

- When the machine is emptying the water it does make a bit of a noise which alarmed me at first, but once I knew what it was doing, it was ok.
