Advantages: Cheap, Good performance, Reliable (so far)

Disadvantages: Occasional program glitch, start button easily confused with power switch, Can't think of another!

Well we've had one for about a year now, heavily used (7-10washes a week) with virtually no problems.

The one it replaced was a Hoover 1300 (WD130?) which only lasted 17months before the drum bearing failed. Hoover didn't want to know, and will not sell replacement bearings - the whole drum has to be replaced at a parts cost of £130!!! - we didn't bother...
Oh and the mechanical programmer was starting to 'stick' on program 3 - I didn't ask the replacement price...

The only thing that has happened, is that once the Drying program cycle ended, the time remaining was shown as 0 - but the machine continued to run??? until we removed the power.
And just today during the Drying cycle the machine stopped showing "F2" in the display - again - removing the power sorted it.
I take it that these are just 'glitches' affecting the electronic programmer - like any computer system.

So compared with the Hoover - it's so far proved a good buy, and if it were not for these glitches I would have given it 5*...
