Altogether there are 4 of us in the house, and I have to do at least 2 loads a day! We have had the machine for 18 months now, and it has never had a problem.
There are so many different cycles that you can always find one not only to suit your washing needs but also your timing too.
My washing always comes out clean, smelling great - which isn't my experience with previous machines ive had.
I use the brilliant 30 minute wash a lot. I have so much to get through, to be able to do a small load and have it drying is fantastic, rather than every load lasting a long time - especially with school uniforms that get yoghurt and paint down them and need to washed and dried by the next morning!
PRODUCT INFORMATION The machine has 4 indicators on it. One is to show you when the door is open, another to show you tat it needs a service, one to tell you to clean the pump and another to tell you if the water tap is closed. These features are so that you may detect faults at an early stage.
There is a program sequence indicator on the machine so that you can see which part of the cycle it is in.
The other features are a cold wash option, a spin speed reduction option, pause and reset.
It is also a 'green' machine - energy efficiant etc.
