This machine worked ok for 7 months, but then started to flash f17 errors during the drying cycle. This seems to be such a common fault with these machines that Hisense's solution is to send an engineer with an f17 repair kit. The engineer called round today, replaced some parts and explained that the f17 fault is caused by a build-up of fluff in the dryer's air ducts. I asked him how I could avoid this. "You can't " was his reply. So the problem is fundamentally due to poor design. No doubt, the f17 problem will occur again. Also, as many other people have commented, the wash cycles are far too long. My advice- don't buy this machine.

Love washer/dryer at a very good price. Happy with it

The washing machine looks decent – nothing flashy, but it blends in well with a modern kitchen. It runs very quietly, which is a real bonus if you're in a flat or prefer not to hear the spin cycle rumbling through the house. However, the cycles are really long. That’s not necessarily a problem if you’re a couple, a young professional with time on your hands, or someone who’s home during the day. But if you’re a working parent with children and a mountain of laundry, it’s not the most practical choice. Even the so-called quick wash takes over an hour. A genuinely short cycle would make all the difference. Another downside is that it tends to leave clothes quite creased, even with light loads and lower spin settings. You’ll need to be ready to get the iron out more often than you might like. For some reason, this machine just doesn’t seem very gentle on fabrics. In short: it’s quiet and looks fine, but the long cycles and extra ironing make it a bit of a hassle for busy households.

Washes brilliantly and dries like an everyday tumble drier. What’s not to love

Good quality product that works as described. Delivery and fitting were also smooth.

Easy to use and good value for money
