Joe, Newark , “Occasional user”

Score 9.0/10

+ Slightly less deep than many which is good where pipes are in the way
Eco cycle seems to work well
Timer very simple to use for cheaper night time electricity
Flat folding bottom rack good for pans etc

- The colour although white looks quite cream alongside our Hotpoint washer
Not sure how robust it will be - racks bend quite easily and very plasticky inside

+ Very quiet when running. Good cleaning performance even on the eco setting.

- Slightly awkward to load anything other than plates and cutlery, i.e saucepan lids etc.
