We purchased this washing machine for £209 when we moved into our first flat. We were starting from scratch so had to purchase everything, so to us price was more important than quality. We thought we could upgrade things as we went along.

This washing machine has a 6kg drum which I find ok for the 3 of us but I imagine with a larger family you would want something bigger. It has 6 settings, including a quick was which lasts for half an hour the other washes such as 90 degrees and delicates last for 2 hours which I feel is a long time. It does get clothes clean on the longer setting but I find the quick washes are only really suitable for a couple of baby things otherwise it just doesn't get them clean. There's also an issue with clothes coming out being quite wet. The spin speed is 1200 but I feel this is not enough as it usually takes 2 full cycles in my tumble dryer before clothes are fully dry.

All in all this washing machine does what it's supposed to and for the money we paid for it if it lasts 2 years I'll be happy. I would purchase this machine again in the same circumstances but I will purchase a more expensive model next when we don't have the expense of kitting out a whole house. It's very much a 'will do for now' model.
