Samsung WD8704RJA

I bought this machine two weeks ago, from Dixons online at a very good price including delivery ( and they delivered on a sunday !).
The machine was a replacement for a Zanussi washer, which i know to be reliable and good quality.
(I used to sell white goods for two big electrical retailers and know exactly what to look for,what you get for your money and what to steer well clear of.)
So, it was a total change for me to get a Samsung,not what you would initially think of when someone says "washer dryer".
The machine appealed to me in two ways, Looks- is it possible to have a sexy washer dryer? YES it is now! and secondly washing and drying performance A/B ( it cant get any better than that.
The large door is great for loading and unloading,especially bedding, no more fraught pulling against the rubber seal.
The machine IS impossibly quiet, my microwave was louder than the machine when it was on full spin with a full load!
The controls are so easy there is now no excuse for any one to say " i dont know what to do". Everything is changeable from temp to spin to rinses, so if your a control freak then you can also have fun.
And last but not least, it counts down on the readout how long the wash or dry has to go, gives a little nintendo type chime when its finished and then switches itself off if you leave it alone. ITS BRILLIANT
