3/5
A good basic machine which has a good range of programs. Some good ?? old Skool washes which take around an hour.,The spin sequence at the end Aug s unnecessarily drawn out. The dispenser for detergent and softener seems very efficient. I like this machine but the main drawback with it is the noise level. It isn’t particularly sturdy and often moves on the spin - I haven’t experienced that since the eighties! This despite it being perfectly level and all transport bolts removed. It is also a very screetchy machine due to a basic AC commutator motor which have now been largely replaced with quieter inventor models. Sadly this style of machine isn’t available in many options in the UK. Before this I tried to import a slightly better one from the EU but it was a disaster so I just ended up buying this. Service from ao spit on as always. Machine a bit crude and basic but not awful by any means.
