Nice result but....

"Very stylish appearance. Washes and dries nicely. Easy to operate. Reasonably quietand and the door lock releases straight away rather than having to wait ages as on previous washer/dryers I have had. Unfortunately, all this is outweighed by the length of time the wash programmes take. The ones I would use as an everyday wash are 2.5 hours long which is outrageous. The machine only does 2 rinses as standard which is not enough to remove dirty water. There is the option of adding upto 3 extra rinses on some but not all programmes. One rinse adds around 20 mins to a cycle. The 1600 spin is not available on all cycles which means you have to run a separate 1600 spin to get the washing drier and thereby using less electric drying clothes. How this machine has been A rated is beyond my comprehension. There are also several totally useless programmes which I presume have bumped up the cost of the machine. One day someone will invent a machine that gives you a choice of washes, a choice of rinses and a choice of drying cycles which gives that customer the ability to make up their own wash programme thereby releasing the consumer from manufacturers and A rater's control.

Fantastic Product

"Top quality washing machine. We have had no end of trouble with our previous machine so decided to replace it and have been amazed with the lack of noise, the options of washes and quality. Brilliant!"

stylish looks and simple to operate but....

"it wastes a lot of time not doing anything other than turning the drum without any water in it or pausing and restarting for some unknown reason. Two hours to do a wash is ridiculous and then It only does 2 rinses as standard which is not enough in my books. Yes there is an option to add up to 3 extra rinses but the machine wont allow you to add a rinse half way through a programme so you have to waste even more time waiting for it to finish and then adding another rinse and a spin if you forget to press the multi rinse or if you don't know how many rinses a particular programme does (there is scant programme information in the operation guide). Who on earth tests and approves these things? They have given it an A rating but if you want a proper job then I guess it becomes B or C rated so it appears to be a bit of a con really. There are also far too many useless programmes on it. "

Very disappointing

"When used for the first time it leaked water all over the kitchen floor. A pipe had not been connected correctly underneath the machine. Now one week later it will not pump water out of the machine. Waiting for the engineer to come to repair it.

This is not what you expect from any new washer dryer, let alone one costing over £500. "
