Advantages: Reasonably priced, high spec and easy to use with lots of different programmes to choose from

Disadvantages: None really, if you were being picky probably just the noise it makes after the cycle has finished

We bought this machine 3 months ago; we'd had it around two weeks when we had a slight problem with the machine not taking in fabric softener. I rang the warranty department and they came to us the next day, he changed the circuit board and said it could've been a rouge machine as they were new. He told us if that didn't work we could have a new machine to replace it and just to ring back and let them know. He was very helpful and polite. The machine has been absolutely fine since, he also advised us to thin the fabric softener with a little warm water in the drawer before using it. This seems to have helped also. I was very impressed with the quick call out response and the peace of mind with knowing it would've been replaced without having to argue with someone over the phone for hours.
The programmes on the machine are great and plenty of them. A little confusing at first and the instruction manual is quite difficult to understand. But once you've had a good read and got used to the machine its actually pretty straight forward to use. You can change the load size, temperature and spin speed which all helps save time and electricity.
It was one of the cheapest around yet also the highest spec with fast spin speed and an A rating on energy efficiency. Just one slightly annoying thing is the intermitant beeping noise it makes,untill you switch it off, to tell you the cycle has finished, but unless you do your washing at night this shouldn't really be a problem. I'm not so sure the neighbours would agree when I leave it on and go out shopping though, oops.

Summary: A good all round washing machine and pretty cheap compared to other makes of similar spec machines.
