+ Easy to use, the delay timer facility is very good for doing the washing at night ready to be hung out in the morning & to make use of cheaper electricity at night if you have this tarriff. Rinse hold, 30min wash cycle, extra large drum I also think that my washing is cleaner with this machine.

- The only bad point is the on off button its very easy to accidently switch the machine off if you just slightly knock it much easier than other machines I have come across. But over all I'm very pleased with this machine so far.

Mark, Dundee

+ exceptionally quiet due to its direct drive motor. All cycyles cab be adjusted to chabge spin speed and water temperature, as well as add other features such as intensive wash and anti-crease. The noisey-est this product gets is as it adds water at the very beginning of a cycle.

- Dispenser draw rattles when on 1200 rpm spin.

+ Nice big drum size and big door opening. Very easy to select programme required. Looks good too.

- The machine will not let you select 1200 spin speed on most programmes, you have to do another spin cycle after programme has finished,
