Full review

I seem to be completly at odds with the other review of this washing machine, seem to be two completly experiences of the same product.

We have had this washing machine now for 3 months, probably a fair amount of time to have used most of the settings and given it a good shakedown.

After delivery a small bit of DIY is required. Some bolts need to be reomved which hold the drum still in transit, feet need to be screwed in place and a cover for the bottom also need to be fitted. It is handy to have 2 people and takes about 10 minutes, clear picture based instructions. You only need to worry about the waste pipe and cold water connection, not hotwater input.

In the past 3 months this washing machine has had pretty much everything thrown at it. Horse rugs, very muddy outdoor clothing, and then all the usual, clothes, towels bedding ect. There are settings for every type of washing needed. Not being the type of person that actually reads washing instructions, the settings are labeled in a fool proof way. When dealing with very dirty and muddy items you can add in two lots of washing powder which it will use at different stages of the wash. The temperature, wash time and spin speed can all be altered from the default for each setting.

This does have a very large capacity and you can keep n adding more items and they all seem to come out clean, excellent.

In short, everything i have put in this washing machine has come out clean, it has not missed a beat dispite having some large very dirty items put in it. It is relativly quiet and very efficent. over all a very good buy
