Advantages: Excellent fast-wash option, copes well with large loads

Disadvantages: Likes to be heard

I brought this washing machine around a year and a half ago and I have been thoroughly pleased with it. It is quite large, just squeaked in under our work surface, but the size means that it will take a large-ish load. In fact, there are four bath sheets going around in it now and it doesn't struggle! I brought our machine from the Comet Clearance site for a handsomely reduced price due to a few scratches on the side - I can highly recommend this as a means of buying a reduced washer.

I am constantly impressed with the load size that it will take and the speed of the cycle. It's ease of use is a real plus, I usually stick it on a heavy load fast wash which is done in 90mins but there are numerous cycles and a really useful pause button so that if you have over filled and it's struggling you can pause the cyclle, open up and remove anything too heavy.

There is very handy speed wash setting that will get a light load washed in 30 minutes which is a real bonus if you have forgotten to wash your work shirt! It has good efficiency ratings and a quick spin cycle if you've hand washed something and it needs a quick dry. I would say that the only down side is that it can be quite noisy. We have it in our basement and it can be heard on the next floor.

All in all I am very impressed with this machine and if you can get it at a reduction I would definately recommend it.
