Denise, Telford

Score 8.0/10

+ Very easy to use variable temperature is great, easy iron option on various washes is very good, I also like having the option to use the quick wash button which reduces the selected cycle time.

- The overflow/drainage to the bottom left of the machine is not th best as when you undo this it goes all over the kitchen floor !!!! Good points way out weigh this though.

- there is no half load, and some of the cycles can run quite long without the quick wash cycle , on my last washer there was a freshen up cycle just for fabric softener to freshen up clothes would have liked this as well
