Advantages: Quick wash

Disadvantages: spin can be a bit noisy

I got this when my previous machine broke down. I was looking for something under £200, that had at least a 4.5kg capacity and quick wash and hand wash programmes. This fitted the bill as I got it from Tesco for £180 and I believe it can now be bought for under £170.

The quick was setting is fab for clothes that are not actually dirty but just have been worn - it makes such a difference for doing things like socks and underwear!

The spin is also fantastic, when I wash towels they are just about stuck the the inside of the drum and only need about 20 mins in the tumble dryer. With my old machine I needed to give everything an extra spin, and then they'd take about an hour in the dryer.

I've not had the machine long enough to find out if it's going to be more ecnomical than my old one, but as it's already cutting down on me using my dryer, I can only assume it will be. I cannot really comment on reliability either as I've only had it 3 weeks!

Summary: great machine for under £200
