batrabbit, banstead , “Reasonably conservative”

Score 9.0/10

+ Markings on panel are in a place where they won't get rubbed off over time (hopefully) the control knob is separate. I have an oven where the marks are on the knob and after a period of use, they rub off so I can't tell what's going on!!
This is a good, efficient machine and we are very happy with it.

- very noisy at 1400rpm - like an aircraft engine!!

Score 9.0/10

+ I was on a budget but wanted particular features and bigger than a 5kg drum. So overall for what was available (by which I mean in stock for lots of different stores) this ticked most the boxes. Also it had to be a particular size to fit the gap.

- Little noisier than I thought. Also would have liked one that kept turning the washing until you were ready to get the wash load out.

Busy Mum, Halifax area , “Busy mum or dad” More like this »

Score 9.0/10

+ A robust machine with a good range of features that you may actually use v a reasonable price. We'd had a Whirlpool washer before and it had lasted 8 years - 4 years of intensive sports kit washing followed by 4 years of washing for twin babes! So safe to say it had a good trial. We wanted a machine with similar features but without breaking the bank. This matched our needs. Certainly much quieter than our old one and some improved features like the reset button. Time left display is an excellent feature which we couldn't find on other makes without spending considerably more.

- Can't really think of any. We've used it for about a month and all going well, but time is the test.

Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency	A*
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient. The most efficient products can now be identified by new ‘A’ and ‘A*’ ratings.
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.
