Advantages: value for money!!!!!

Disadvantages: only average energy rating

I needed a washer / dryer mainly because I was fed up of either taking my washing home, or going to the laundrette. I bought the servis M4909 (what a catchy name) in November last year.

The reasons I chose it were: 1. It was cheap, and so far I haven't found a cheaper washer / dryer on the market.
and quite importantly 2. My mother had bought a Servis washer dryer about 3 months before hand and was very pleased with it.

I confess to knowing next to nothing about washing machines and I only ever use the 40 degree quick wash and the tumble dryer.

Here are the features copied from the currys web site:

- 10lb wash/5lb drying load
- 12 wash programmes
- Half load option
- Rinse hold option
- Delicates spin
- 180 Deg Opening
- Quickwash
- Wool Program
- Hand Wash
- H=885mm W=660mm D=560mm
- Energy Rating D
- Wash Performance B
- Spin Speed 900 rpm
- Colour White
- Spin Performance C
- Water consumption 141 litres
- Energy Consumption 5 kwh
- No of Programs 12
- Separate washing energy 1.03 kwh
- 180 Deg Opening *** Mine only opens 90 degrees, but this isn't a problem
- Quickwash
- Wool Program
- Hand Wash

The machine is effective and seems to serve the purpose well.
I expect there are better washer dryers out there but not for this price. Also I have heard people say you should get separate washing machines and separate dryers, but who has space for that? (Not me)

It does jump around a bit at the more than acceptable 900rpm spin. (The faster the better so I've heard). The spin speed can be reduced with a button, also the drying timer does two hours, which with a half load is probably about right, I try not to put too much in - about a quarter load (most of my clothes say not to tumble anyway) - and only have it for 1 hour.

I don't know how long it will last before it goes wrong but
they are supposed to last about 6 years. In 6 years time I think I will definitely have got my moneys worth!

My one final gripe is that whilst the machine is white, the top is off white, for some unknown reason. But I didn't buy it for its looks, now did I?
