Have had this washing machine for a month and am impressed with how quiet it is (it's in an open plan kitchen/lounge and I can hear TV over spin cycle!) and how straightforward it is to use - all functions clearly displayed. Have also noticed an improvement in stain removal and smell of clothes after washing from previous washing machine. It has a Quick wash function, but it's either 30 or 15 mins. Full cottons load takes close on 3 hours. A shame it doesn't have a cycle somewhere in between, like a 60 or 90 minute 'everyday' wash for clothing that isn't stained but still needs a reasonable agitated wash. But, on the whole, very happy with my choice of machine! And the 8kg weight limit is the right size for our family of 3 - doing about 3 washes a week of clothes, sheets/towels.

Absolutely fit for purpose at a competitive price!

Long washing program

Great product, much quieter than our old model. Plenty of useful features and the large loading door is a bonus.

Fairly good. The interior light seems to keep turning off. The fast+ button only works for 1 or 2 programmes, so is a bit annoying. The other programmes are very long, so it's difficult if you have delicate fabrics like silk when you just want a very quick, but gentle wash with. Looks lovely, just expected a little more with being able to shorten all programmes and not just the quick wash. Also, cannot 'steam' as a programme on its own to take the creases out of garments.

The machine is just what we needed after our old Zannussi broke. Very quiet when in operation and plenty of choice in terms of programmes to use. The disposal and installation from AO was great too.
