"We are a family of three, so this 8kg drum is ideal for us. I can wash a full load in less than half an hour if I want to, however, I've been playing around with the prewash and drying programmes, and I find most of my preferred programmes last around 2 hours 50 mins. I really like the 'Anti Crease' programme, because it really does reduce ironing time! If I set the machine going before I leave the house in the morning, I don't need to worry about leaving it in, because the drum rotates and blows warm air inside which minimises both creases and any smells which might have developed. As you'd expect, there are a range of different programmes to select - and I really like how you can choose one that suits you the best. For example, I like to prewash, wash and then use the dryer for 30 minutes so that I can hang the items up to finish drying naturally - which also reduces the need to iron. When I have used the longer drying programmes things do come out incredibly dry, but then these are much much harder to iron. It's the first time I've had a combined washer & dryer for over a decade, and I've been very impressed with it. It will be great not to hang clothes up around the house over winter this year now I have the option to dry!"
