Hi, I'm a student living in the East Midlands area. I'm into reading (very) and an avid movie watcher, so much so I'm studying a degree in film. I'm currently writing my own book, so maybe one day it'll be reviewed on here. Be kind, yeah?

I bought this machine 2 months ago from Tesco Direct. It's my first washing machine and has been installed in my flat.
Best thing about this machine is that it's cheap. It's a reasonably basic washing machine with as many functions as a person could need. It never has to work particularly hard with us, as we only ever wash lightly soiled clothes, but they always come out clean and smelling fresh.
The settings it has are the following:
Cotton: Cold, 40, 60 and 90 degrees.
Synthetics: Cold, 30, 40 and 60 degrees.
Delicates: 30 degress.
Woolens: Cold and 40 degrees.
Other settings: A Class 40 degrees Mini 30 minutes Hand wash Rinse Spin and Drain
Other features: Spin alteration from No-spin to 400-1000 rpm Prewash Extra rinse Rinse hold.
We have had one problem with it though, which we've been unable to rectify regardless of what we do. Whenever we use it to wash more than half a drum full of clothes it jumps around during the spin cycle. It's fine with half a drum of light clothes such as shirts, t-shirts and underwear, but the minute you put a pair of jeans in you're down to a quarter of the drum. When it jumps it basically rocks from side to side quite violently, hitting the casing of the cupboards around it and obviously making a great deal of noise. When it's doing this the only way to fix the problem is to stop the wash, take a few items out and put it on a spin cycle. Obviously this means that we're unable to put the wash-loads on at night to save money, as being in a flat means that the noise it makes would be unfair to the neighbours. Measures we've taken to solve the problem include making sure the plastic thing to steady it during transit is removed and making sure the feet are level (with a spirit level). The floor itself is level as the flat, and therefore the floor in the flat, is brand new.
Other than this problem it does the job. You just have to watch it is all. We've got the knack of wash-load sizes by now.

Not much info other than the machine likes to dance. Is the floor level. Did you adjust the feet? The only other thing I can think of is the shock absorbers inside are kaput!
