Advantages: 30 min quick wash, very quiet

Disadvantages: Haven't found any so far

I bought this about a month ago from B&Q after realising it was the same one a neighbour had recommended and so far can only praise it. I was concerned at first that it might not be up to the job of our last machine as it was a Bosch but if anything it has been working better.

It is so much quieter that I often have to check that I did actually switch it on. The cold fill has already seen us with a reduction in our gas useage and it is so much better being able to use a cold wash on some materials.

The drum is wider than our last machine but not as deep. This seems to make things less likely to get tangled up and even linen clothing doesn't seem to need as much ironing afterwards. The 30 minute wash is perfect for items that just need a freshen up and even the 60deg. wash only takes 60 minutes.

I haven't yet needed to use the timer delay but I can see where that would be a huge benefit to someone with dual electricity.

It came with a five year parts guarantee when you phoned to register and one year labour. Of course they try to sell you a three year labour warranty too but for just over £200 for the machine I don't think it was worth the extra money for the extended warranty.

Summary: A good all round buy.
