    So far so good

    5/5
    Just got this, it was seemingly a big problem getting a replacement washer dryer during pandemit but sorted with ao in a vert easy transaction. Price matched, delivered and installed. A small part was missing but ao on it straight away. So far the machine is working great, ao as per my previous purchases are great for customer service.

    Washer dryer

    4/5
    Lovely quiet machine with easy instructions to follow. Clothes come out lovely clean and dry. What I like about this is that you can dry clothes without the need for it to go through a wash cycle. The only reason I haven’t given a 5 rating is due to the fact that my cupboard door is having to be re-aligned as the brackets are in a different position than my previous washer.

    Excellent

    5/5
    Very pleased. Machine is easy to use, good range of programmes.Has auto load detection but you can still alter the time to suit your needs with the flexi time button. 8kg is great. Very quiet in operation, you also don’t really notice when it’s spinning. The only thing I would say but I think this is common to all washer dryers is that you can’t dry the full load in one go an drying can take a long time. Having said that there is an auto dry feature, dryness level and timed drying. All in all an excellent machine and I highly recommend it.

    Pros and cons but overall decent

    4/5
    If you have a Howdens kitchen this is one of the only models that fits (avoid Hoover that doesn’t!) so after initially ordering the Hoover then this, we had high expectations. Pros: extremely quiet, the flexi time settings - I can do a 90 degree towel/bedding wash in an hour, lots of different settings so overall impressed and it runs rings around it’s old Lamona (Howdens) predecessor in our kitchen. Cons: the dryer and I hate to say it as I had such high expectations after reading the reviews but there’s only one setting for 2:32 hours which in the current economic climate isn’t feasible for us so I give it 1 hour max then turn the dial to the top to stop it early (top tip haha you can do that on any cycle! - I suppose another pro) and when I did let it run for 2:32 with a light bedding load it came out boiling hot and damp so if you’re only spending the extra £ for the dryer feature like we did (tiny kitchen, no room for separate dryer and small house so no room really to air bedding & towels) maybe consider if you could sacrifice an extra cupboard for a dryer! Also worth noting if your knowledge of appliances is slim to none like me, you don’t need any extra water pipes or anything, as far as I can see and understand both the washer and dryer work from one pipe at the back (I struggled to find one info on that online - maybe it’s obvious?!) All that said I think a 4 star rating is fair, I was going to knock off another star for the delivery as we were messed around and I wasted a precious days annual leave where AO stood me up and I think it was quite poor how nothing was offered as an apology - even a 5% discount or small voucher would have been nice but anyway! Hope that helps someone as I scoured the net for all this info!

    Wash cycle good, dry cycle is loud, too loud!

    3/5
    Just 4 uses so far, 1 week in. The wash cycle is as quiet as expected but the drying cycle is loud! It sounds like the drain pump is constantly whirring and it makes a monotonous beat throughout the whole drying cycle, which can be very long. I was hoping this would be suitable for night time use in my flat but sadly it won't be. The AO team have otherwise been good so far. The delivery men deserve a lot of credit, very hard working and friendly.

    Good option for integrated washer dryer

    4/5
    So far so good! It has a good capacity for an integrated machine and a selection of programmes to choose from that can be easily adjusted to reduce the time if needed. Haven't yet gone through a full wash and dry cycle as the sun is shining but have used the timed dry function to finish off clothes that haven't quite dried fully outside and no problems. Quiet when running - especially compared to our last machine! Need to make sure you tighten up the screw that presses the rubber stopper against the underside of the worktop as it can rattle otherwise. Make sure you have the correct loads for drying - you can't fill it up with 8kg dry wash weight and then expect it to dry the lot! Happy with purchase so far :)

    A great washer dryer

    5/5
    Very good washer dryer. A good selection of washing programmes and the drying is very good as well. Added bonus is that it tells you when the load is too heavy!

    Loving the new machine

    5/5
    Spent weeks reading reviews and this came out top for the money - had it a week & not disappointed! Like the fact that you can reduce a wash time to suit you as some programmes are quite long. You can also alter temperature & spin easily to suit too Clever how it weighs the load too - washed & dried 4 big towels in less than 3 hours by using flexitime . Short wash is fantastic however you may have to tag on a faster spin. The one hour wash to dry (small load also really useful for kids bedding for example. Really easy to operate - have to have the instructions to hand at first but it’s not complicated once you know how it operates. Very quiet generally although the pump is quite noticeable & the high spin vibrates a lot - not sure if that’s an installation problem or a general thing. So far so good !
