Ok for the price
3/5
Early days review - having used machine for about 10 days.
I bought this machine mainly based on Energy efficiency rating, quick wash setting, spin of up to 1400rmp and customer reviews saying the machine is very quiet.
Energy efficiency - I can't say yet
Quietness - it is quieter than my previous 12 year old machine but not that much - so a bit dissapointed there
Selection of spin settings range 800 - 1400 but 1400 not on all programmes
The dial to select programmes is a bit strange (both ends look like they point at a programme) - I only know if I have the right programme if I see the expected time on the display
The sound the machine makes to indicate completion is very short and is not repeated so I often miss the end of a wash
The machine itself was slightly taller than my previous integrated machine which caused some issues with the unit door in front which is now slightly out of line (probably my fault but just something to look out for)
There are loads of programmes to choose from but some not available for a full load. Some of the programmes are very good - Sports Wear , Allergy Care , Quick wash are all useful. The programme names are a bit confusing so have to always refer to manual (at least at the moment) - can I use it for full load, what temperature does it wash at, what spin can I choose.
A normal Mix Cotton wash is a about 3h30 long - which can't be reduced (a setting I had on my old machine).
My washing is absolutely fine - but no difference to my old machine.
The machine is fine for the price but nothing amazing. Would I choose it again - no.
