Advantages: quiet, energy efficient, fast spin, washes perfectly, large drum, clean design lines, cost.

Disadvantages: none

I have had this machine several months now, I can quite honestly say it is the BEST washer I have ever had, and I have had about 10 or more others over the years!
I do on average 4 loads per day.
The cotton eco program brings everything up immaculately, I usually use it on 40 degrees, unless I have really dirty items in, and use it with Ariel, or Ariel colour depending on items to be washed.
The timer delay is great for cheap overnight electric.
The wool wash is perfect, I use 30 degree with Percil silk/wool liquid and Lenor, and all wool and cashmere comes out perfectly.
The quick wash is very efficient also.
Cotton things I spin on 1600, and they take no time at all to dry.
I used to like my Bosch, but it only lasted 4 years, this machine is as good, or better, and if it lasts 4 years will work out more economical!
When the program ends, the machine bleeps for 1 minute or until it is switched off, this would annoy some people, but I find it helpful.
I had a Hoover before this and hated it, I even preferred the Indisit to the Hoover!
So far I have had no problems with the filter (did with Bosch) or with the soap dispenser (did with Hoover - and filter!)
Everything I wash comes out really clean, so therefore I would give this washer maximum star rating, can't fault it!
