About the washing machine itself: I got this washing machine as a replacement for my washer/dryer that I got a few months beforehand, and had been a complete nightmare from start to finish as I had to have it replaced twice and both machines had the same error, in the end I asked for my money back, but instead, got this washing machine for the same value that the washer/dryer had been (about £350).
I've had it now over 6 months, and I haven't had a single problem with it! It washes extremely well, the spin is great on it, and the clothes feel practically dry before I even put them in the dryer. And it is so quiet I can leave it on when I go to bed if I desperately need to and it doesn't disturb my sleep, and considering we have to keep the kitchen door open it is quite an amazing feat! It is fantastic if it is on and my son who is almost one decides to follow me into the kitchen as I can just stick on the childlock and he can't interfere with it, though generlly I distract him with saucepans! the only downside to this is once or twice I have completely forgotten the childlock is on and then wondered why it won't open. Oops.
It is so easy to control too, I love the fact I change the temperature to whatever I want and turns the spin speed down if I want, and even choose what intensity I want my clothes washed at (the options are high, normal and low) and it is all at the push of a button, no fiddly dials or anything! The only dial to turn is the one where you choose what wash you need, I.E coloureds, whites etc. It is absolutely fantastic and I haven't even used all of the settings yet, because I don't need them. The duvets wash is amazing, I washed my duvets a month or so ago as we don't use them in summer, and they came out bright white , and best of all? No lumps! I mean lets face it who wants a lumpy duvet? Alas my pillows however did get lumpy - but I think that was more to do with my dryer, not sure on that one though. The other great thing about this machine is the capacity! It comes in very handy when you have kids, as my son gets all his food down him so I have to wash his clothes every few days and there is always alot of them! It also means I can wash mine, and my partners clothes together and instead of having about 6 or 7 washes over the period of 2 days at the weekend, I only have a maximum of 4 in one day, and that includes my sons clothes too.
I can't recommend this washing machine enough, it is absolutely fantastic and the best washing machine I have ever used. Hope you found this review helpful. Berni.
