You know you’re getting old when a washing machine brings you joy - but this really is a fab model. My clothes are cleaner than ever, and the 1400 spin means less time drying or in the tumble dryer. I won’t go as far as saying I look forward to endless clothes washing but my new washing machine definitely makes that chore easier!

It is a great machine, but it is just a bit louder than expected.

Great washing machine. Lot of options to choose from. Very quiet ??

My oLD AEG (from AO) was exactly 10 years old when it left the building. It was still working, but the door was a bit dodgy and was going to fail at some point. Now I have this nice new shiny one that talks to me on my phone. I have had the new model just one week at the time of this review, so I haven't got to know it well yet, there's a lot of flexibility using the app, but you don't have to use it, however you can save your favourite settings to save inputting them every time which is very useful. It's 1kg bigger than the old one. I have used it about six times now, it does smell really strongly of plastic when it's in use and the laundry comes out smelling of plastic too, I hope that wears off in time. I need to register for the 5 year warranty now. I hope the new machine lasts for 10 years like the old one. Interestingly with the offer price I paid about the same for both machines!
