Ease of setting the machine

Although marketed as a super silent machine, the noise is still an issue.

It didn't come with the correct hoses. You should have supplied a longer "Y"-lead hose. Also, the instructions describe how it is necessary to fit a blanking cap on the hot water fitting - but one isn't included!

It's very easy to use and makes barely any noise at all.
-
Only bad points are that most of the cycles seem to last hours and hours. Also, not sure if all washer dryers are the same but this machine doesn't perform like a normal dryer. It takes forever to dry the smallest load so it's idea if you don't really use the dryer, but not if you use it all the time.

The machine does take a long time to dry clothes and the dry cycle is fairly noisy at times.

For a washing machine, it's quiet. Don't expect silent, but you can still have a conversation in the room when it's on final spin. The LED display tells you how long the programs will last, and it counts down throughout the program - for some reason, it's nice to know that!
-
No bad points so far; the unanswered question is how long will it last...

I dont know that much about washing machines, and to be honest I dont ever really want to, But if you are looking for a good allround washer dryer then go for this one. It basically washes and then drys my clothes which is what I wanted and therfore is good.
-
Sometimes my clothes are quite creased when I take them out after a wash dry cycle- I think that is probably more down to me being a mong though.

Just a bit disapointed with the noise level, which I had hoped would be quieter - it's not a major thing and maybe my expectations where too high!

i find the drying cycle not very effective sometimes even though you can select automatic which means it will decide itself how long the drying cycle should be.

Don't like not being able to stop dryer to check to see how drying is doing. Minimum dry time 1 hour but quality of dry not particularly good. Bought Hotpoint as was pleased with previous one but don't think this is so good.
The only 40 degree wash for coloured cottons - is according to the manual not energy efficient - shame as most popular cycle. Shortage of lower degree washes for cotton/coloureds

Versatility, the choices of heat and speed, and the ability to adapt and adjust the programmes.
The quietness of the action.
The quality of the washing process which left the cothes in good condition.
The cold water fill.

Because of the necessary weight of the machine with its high spin speed, it is difficult to manouvre into its space in the kitchen, and it needs to be more mobile in order to reach the plumbing etc.
It would be useful if the display of the information on the screen before the beginning of the programme was shown for longer.

you can reduce the temperature of a wash thus saving energy and time, and the time delay option is good so instead of putting the washing machine on before you go to bed you can set it to finish before you get up.
