I bought one of these to replace separate washing machine and tumble dryer as I no longer had space for two separate appliances in my new kitchen.
I decided on this particular model due to it's claim that it is the first washer-dryer to wash and dry a full 5kg load straight through without the need to split the load for drying - helpful when there are 5 of us I have to do the laundry for!

The dials are easy to understand - one for the wash programmes, which include a 'timesaver' and 'superwash' option for quick or small loads as well as a 'creaseguard' time delay on the rinse cycle; the second dial is split from 30 to 210 minutes to set the drying time. There are two drying options, a hotter setting following from the cotton wash programmes and a cooler setting after the synthetic wash options. There is a safety lock feature on the door, it's 'C' rated for energy effieciency, 'A' rated for wash and 'B' for spin rating.

It's been a bit of trial and error to discover how long to set the dryer for and I have found that the drying times can be inconsistent, sometimes it takes 2 hours to dry a full 5kg load, others it's needed the full 3 and a half hour option.

The other problem I have found is that the compartment for fabric conditioner doesn't always empty fully, even though I don't fill it beyond the 'max' level and with the heat from the drying the conditioner dries in the tray leaving a sticky mess to clear up.

All in all though I am pleased with this appliance and the space it has saved me, I've even become more organised with my laundry since having it - no more wet clothes sat in a washing machine waiting for me to move them to the tumble dryer or for the rain to stop to hang them on the line - this machine does it all wihtout the need to dry in two stages as with most washer dryers
