Advantages: An interesting story, more so because it is based upon fact. Disadvantages: A bit predictable towards the end.

I don't know what it say about me, but I like films were people beat the system, for example Ocean's 11, Inside Man etc and so I was looking forward to this film for a while. Even more so because the film is based upon fact. 21 is based on the book 'Bringing Down The House' by Ben Mezrich.

When the machine arrived I found one small dint in the side, which when it was in situ couldn't be seen, so I was happy with it.
The appearance of the machine is good, it is silver and fits in with any decor. There is quite a large range of wash cycles including quick wash. There are variable spinning speeds, the top one being 1400.
The first wash I did I was extremely pleased with. I just used quick wash and the clothes came out clean and well spun. The next was I did was not a full load and when i got the clothes out they were absolutely dripping wet. I tried to spin them again ...
