Advantages: 1600 spin and reliable for less than £270

Disadvantages: None yet...but early days...will update if I find any!

I just purchased one of these last week from John Lewis as the price was competitive (£250) plus £19 for express delivery, it comes with a two year guarantee instead of one year, and they took the old machine away free of charge.

My only gripe was that I was told that the free delivery machines were out of stock and I could only order the express delivery model. It was explained that this was because they are shipped from different warehouses. Still very confusing for the customer who would prefer a choice.

The machine was delivered three days after ordering with the usual "can't say exactly when it will be delivered caveat" but arrived at about 2PM.

The machine was quite straighforward to plumb in - only one water supply these days and quite easy to get going. The electric lead could be a bit longer though and I had to cut it and connect to another in order for it to reach where my previous Zanussi reached.

The spin speed is 1600 rpm, which is enough for anyone and the clothes come out about as dry as they can be without hanging them up for a little while. Very impressed with this.

The settings are very easy to use and there is even a "sports shoe" setting for dirty trainers (shoes not fitness experts!). I also like the timer which can delay the start for 3, 6 or 9 hours so that you can have the wash finished and ready at a certain time (or at night), if you plan in advance.

Many people were saying to get a Bosch washing machine but for the price, functionality, reliability and looks this seems a good purchase and well worth it.

In terms of stars, I can't give it full marks since it's still a new purchase but in my books, 4 stars is very good and I will update if required in due course.

Summary: Great washing machine, well priced
