Linda, Watford , “Not a lot!”
Score 9.0/10
+
The price was right for me.
It is very quiet.
I like the rapid wash which makes it very quick if I do need a long cycle.
Spin efficiency is very good.
-
I have found that it does not always rince very well leaving residue white marks from the soap powder and I have had to do a second rince to remove them.
A half load feature would have been good.
Overall I am happy with the machine

I purchased on the basis of price & previous positive customer reviews. When I purchased this was the cheapest model on the list. Have never been interested in branding of household equipment.
It is easy to use although I don't need most of the wash functions and have generally stuck to 30 degrees on cycle 9 or 40 degrees on cycle 4 for dirtier loads.
Washes well and quickly on 30 degrees which makes it more efficient.
I can't comment on the noise as is located in our cellar but it is definitely quieter than the last machine (far more expensive german make) which we could hear from our living room on spin cycles!

Score 9.0/10+ On the good side the machine is lovely and ease of use is great.
- The product was hard to put in due to the tightness of nuts to be released, I understand these nuts are in place for a reason to secure drum in transit however they are proably put on by a machine and that makes it much harder for a human to release them.
