Really quiet in comparison with our old Bosch. Easy child lock. Large capacity which would suit families with small children. Separate spin only function is good if you want to hand wash then spin separately. You can time machine to come on when you want it - this is good if you don't want wet clothes to sit in the machine. CONS: in comparison with old machine, drawer, door, dial and seal seem a bit plastic-y and cheap. But they work fine. Slight plastic smell from seal on a 40 degree wash but does not go onto clothes. Some programmes show an 'auto' reading on the display only which doesn't let you know how long they will run.

Really quiet dont even know it is on! Really pleased with the machine x

Quieter than the 18 month old Beko that it replaced. Installed and tested by AO `s delivery team . A good buy .

Its quieter than the microwave!! We had to turn on the end of cycle alarm so that we knew when it had finished. Also love that you can choose whether to have the child lock 'on' or 'off' and the choice of cycles especially the steam/refresh cycle. Overall very impressed.

Excellent service from AO and a great price on an excellent washing machine. Would definitely recommend a purchase.

This washing machine is fab! Lots of different features such as a 15 min fast cycle, steam cleaning and auto set functions make it so handy for a busy family and is really easy to use. I also LOVE how quiet it is. We are lucky enough to have a utility room but it is right below our youngest sons bedroom so having this machine be so quiet means I can pop a wash on at any time without worrying about him being disturbed.

Great washing machine, lots of different options, large capacity and very quiet. I can't get excited about it but would recommend.

Irect Drive motor amazing guy quiet. Good programmes and easy to manage.
