+ We bought it for the delayed start and higher spin speed. It doesn't wake me up in the night so it must be quiet enough!

- None really - why doesn't it collect up the dirty clothes from around the house?

+ The delay timer is useful as with most machines the wash cycles are longer now that they are all cold fill.

- It is very heavy and not on wheels and was therefore difficult to position

- Setting the programes, I have had to use a marker pen and mark the pointer on the dial. I would think someone with only a little eyesight would also have this problem.

+ Takes large load, looks good and hopefully has a long life!

- The different cycles get some getting used to - instruction leaflet is not the most informative or simple and concise. Has taken me several months to work out which is the best wash cycle for me to use each time, and can occasionally be extremely noisy on 'fast spin'.
