Extremely quite, energy effecient, great variety of cycles

none

so far its all good

if i had to pick something i would ask for a second quick cycle that has a better spin cycle

It takes a huge load and I have managed to machine wash a double quilt for the first time ever. It is very quiet and I like the fact that you can alter the spin speed within some programmes. I haven't used the 'steam and refresh' programme yet but I...

The bad points I have found so far are some of the cycles are extremely long. The lower temperature programmes have a low spin speed which is not possible to change to a higher speed, therefore, I have to spin them again. The clothes come out far more...

The machines design is good, and it was easy to assemble.

a bit complicated/confusing.

This washing machine is fantastic and has halved my workload :o) I used to do at least 5 loads of washing a week, now I only do 2 as the drum size is so much bigger. It's a great washing machine for a family.

That you cannot change the spin cycle (although you can spin it again separately) If you don't do a lot of washing, this machine would probably not be for you.

The machine has an excellent wash capacity. I do far less washes than with my previous machine. I like the program cycle times, and special features like "Clothes refresh" using steam. The spin speed is very good and gets the clothes pretty dry before...

I didn't have any bad points until this week, when the program select control went wrong. The dial no longer clicks when turning to select program, and whatever position the dial is placed the same program, temperature and cycle time is displayed. I am...

Very quiet, easy to use and great child lock feature.

N/A

Large drum so can wash lots of things quicker/less loads, easy to see what setting to put the washing on, i like to know how long is left on the cycle (although I'm sure the times are shorter than it starts off saying!), very quiet, child lock is good...

Very flashy digital display is a magnet for my toddler and the child lock only works when it is on so he can turn it on easily, if you lean on the mashine by accident it can start a cycle too easily.

Love the range of wash cycles, size of the drum is excellent, eco features are great, and wash times are very reasonable. Displays are very good too.

Detergent and conditioner dispenser can only be accessed BEFORE a wash has been activated as it is behind the door.
