Advantages: quick, quiet, efficient
Disadvantages: quite pricy

...Right well, I have just recently moved house and this little number was sitting in the kitchen ready and waiting. I didn't think twice about it because in all fairness - its a washing machine, you know? But when the time came to use it, I was quite impressed. This electrolux machine has a very easy to use control panel (and I'm useless at trying to make things work!), it seems a lot quieter when spinning than other machines I've heard and it has a high energy efficiency rating. Main specifications: (as taken from the product information on this page) Manufacturer: AEG-Electrolux Automatic: Full Automatic Construction: Freestanding Depth in cm: 60 Display of Remaining Time: No Drying Function: without Drying Function Energy Consumption in kWh (60° C): 1 Energy Efficiency: A + Energy Savings Trust Feature: No Freestanding...

Advantages: Good solid bottom of the range washer with a great spin.
Disadvantages: Very heavy.

...washing machine. I wanted one which had a big drum and a good spin and a few basic programmes. We settled for the Lavamat 50430, pretty much bottom of the range. It cost around £220. What a model ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ The model we chose is a white automatic (a twin tub being a severely big joke) front loading machine with a large porthole window and a door which opens out to the left. The detergent / fabric conditioner drawer is located in the top left hand corner as it is on most other automatic washing machines. The programme selector dial is a clockwise turn manual dial, no fancy digital programming (fine by me as these sort of things increase the chances of somehing going wrong). There is also a manual dial temperature selector which can be set to 30, 40, 50, 60 70 (economy), 80 or 95... Read review

Advantages: excellent washing performance, energy efficient
Disadvantages: none

...Oh the delight!! I recently bought an AEG Lavamat Update after 12 long trusted years with a Zanussi. How glad i am! The AEG is a superior machine, with functions abounding, yet it is so easy to use, my boyfriend can finally wash clothes with ease!! With this machine you can just wash, rinse or spin separately at varying temperatures and spin speeds, you can delay washes, rinses and spins too as well as the usual start to finish programmes. There is no need to tell the machine how heavy or light the wash load is, as it weighs the clothes in the drum and alters the water usage accordingly. The machine also displays the amount of wash time left to go on the front of the machine. Lavamat Update machines are categorised as being extremely energy efficient. They have full child safety features, water drainage in case of a breakdown whilst... Read review

Advantages: a superior result whatever detergant is used.
Disadvantages: not easy to clean detergant dispenser or filter (located at bottom left corner of machine)

...I have had my AEG oko Lavamat 72600 update model for just over 2 years now and whilst the cost at time of purchase was a little high, it has now fallen to a more reasonable price due to popularity. I wanted a machine that would be versatile enough to not ruin delicate items and that can deal with an almost continuous and sometimes heavily soiled amount of washing. I have been impressed with the machines ability to adapt to my needs and have only had misfortune to ruin one item...a jumper which cannot tolerate cold water. A good point to note is that this machine operates on a cold water input basis. Therefore any item that cannot tolerate cold water or temperature fluctuations will not survive for long in the 72600 model. I have only called an engineer out once and this was due to an inexpensive part being worn which I was assured... Read review

Advantages: does a great job removing smells and grease
Disadvantages: needs an outside vent either through the wall or ceiling

...When we changed our kitchen one of my priorities was to have a decent extractor. I generally dislike strong cooking smells working their way through my house but some smells are worse than others; a decent deep fat fryer took care of the fried foods and a gas barbecue on the deck near the back door took care of grilled meats so that left us with general cooking smells from cabbage to curries.
