Not here as much - you will see me elsewhere on a R&R site, but I'm not finding the time to come here as often. I will still pop across and do the occasional review.

A+ Energy efficiency, and while its only got a B rating on Spin, I do think it gives much better performance on that. Washing efficiency is given as A and I would agree with that one. Load weight is 5kg which is fairly standard for machines in this range.
I had a Servis machine, and nothing but trouble from the moment we bought it. I have eventually relented and bought this Whirlpool as a direct replacement, costing £185-00 on offer from Co-op direct.
I've immediately taken out the *8* year (yes, eight year) warranty for parts for just £25-00! Okay you still would have to pay for labour, but its pretty impressive to find a budget machine with such good warranty on its parts. It has done all we've asked of it so far - and is particularly quiet in operation, especially after the Servis machine I had.
It has an anti-crease spin facility, and the clothes certainly do seem to come out much less creased when using a program that triggers this particular aspect of the wash.
Dials and controls are all very easy to use, and firm under touch. It doesn't feel at all flimsy, especially when you consider the cost of the machine. Your really do feel its far more expensive than it actually was.
The only downside I can find is that when you use the quick wash, the clothes aren't quite as dry as other wash options, but that is all I can say that is remotely negative.
I suspect you would be hard pressed to find a better machine not just at this price, but in some of the price ranges above it!

Your review has helped me consider Whirlpool as a purchase. The basic machine is often the best.buy. I have just experienced the Aqua Spa (waterless) Bosch costing £300.
