So far a lovely product. Small and sleek. Door is a nice size to add the clothes and the controls/buttons are good and responsive. I have to be careful leaning up to the cupboard as if you catch or slightly leen on the machine it will turn off or on! Not great when your mid cycle. I tried putting the child lock on but the only button that doesn’t lock, is the on/off button!! Surely this is a button that should be locked?? The display screen is lovely and bright and easy to see and use.
The big button is also good and turns smoothly, lots of functions to choose, I thought you could download extra option but the additional cycle are from the app and preset. I’ve not tried these yet but working my way through.
The noise is smooth and quiet, there is a noise reduction Matt which goes under the machine, not sure if this makes a difference but it’s much more quiet than my last machine. The machine does have a beep noise when going through the programs and a lovely tune when it’s finish along with a notification via the app once finished. You can only control the machine via your phone when it’s on, which has to be done via the machine in/off button. The machine can not be turned on via the app/phone. I find this a shame but not a problem.
I’m not convinced about the auto dosing yet, feels like it’s using way more product than I would if I was adding to the drum. Clothes are clean and have no smell… not even that of my detergent but at least they are clean. Again I will play with this and see how it goes.
Overall this machine is a lovely buy for a 5 series. I’m looking forward to knowing it better and would recommend to friends and family.
