Oh! I just moved house and, with a baby, this is my favourite new purchase! I've always been a fan of top-loading washing machines. I like them for some reason (I think they remind me of living in Japan) but this may be a drawback for anyone with space issues in their home. You can't pop it under the worktop like a front-loader but I'm lucky enough to have a separate utility room and for me top-loading means business...
It looks great...clean and white,,,what more could you want from a washing machine? It instills me with the confidence that things will come out clean and they do! The settings are straightforward and very easy to understand without reading the ten thousand page manual which is a huge bonus.
Its range of cycles are fairly standard...cotton whites at 90 degrees, delicates, coloureds, standard 40 degree cycle. They're all covered as you'd expect. I have to say, whites come out splendidly but how much of that is to do with the washing powder? I don't know! What I want is a washing machine that washes and this certainly does the job.
As for cost, it's certainly not the cheapest but I guess you're paying for the brand here. I have plently of other Whirlpool products and they've always been reliable and of a high quality so I've no reason to suppose this will be any different.
The best thing about it is that it doesn't move half way across the room when it's on the spin cycle. My old machine was so wobbly that it even broke my crockery in the kitchen through its rattling. This doesn't do that. It'll keep the neighbours happy too.
Marvellous and highly recommended! HUGE CAPACITY. I've yet to try out the delicate cycle but I shall amend when I have.
