+ Good options on each programme for temperature and spin speed. Really big capacity - easily fitted and washed my king size summer duvet, and most importantly, washes really well.

- Not as quiet on 1400 spin as I expected but not loud by any means. 800 spin virtually silent.

+ Very pleased with the washing machine. As the drum can take 8kg it has cut down on the amount of wash loads I do now which saves on the cost of electricty.

- there are no bad points.

Score 10.0/10

+ My score rating says it all. I have moved to a front loader from an American top loader, and was very sceptical about any front loading washing machine. No regrets - lovely machine to use, and washing comes out clean. The variable spin cycle is brilliant.

- No bad points that I can highlight.

Score 9.0/10

+ Very easy to use. Most of the time it is silent in use, the only noise you can hear is the buttons and zips from clothes hitting on the glass. And of course the LCD display, lights and the tune when you turn it on and when it's finishd the load keeps the kids amused. Drum is huge. Very impressed.

Anni, Sutton in Ashfield , “Busy & undomesticated!”

Score 10.0/10

+ I love this washing machine! looks great, plays a little tune when you start it up and when its finished!!
The drum seems huge compared to my old one and you can get loads of stuff in on a single wash- has vastly reduced the amount of loads I have to do.
It's pretty quiet as washers go, Washes clothes really well, the handwash/woollen cycle is really kind to jumpers, I put a king size quilt in and it managed that with no problem.
I keep telling all my friends & family they have to buy this machine!!!

- I can't find any yet!

Product Features

Type of Loading	Front Loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
