An honest review on a good machine
4/5
Nice price for what you get. Easy to fit door if you take the time to measure correctly, then it just fits. Nice and quiet compared to old machine, which was 7 years old and I'd repaired it multiple times. Plenty of options and the quick wash and pre wash are also very good.
WiFi, mmm, interesting setup. Two conflicting sets of instructions with this machine, the one set that came loose (not the booklet) worked first time and connected beautifully. Downside, is although I can ping the machine, the app can also see it, but after that it just goes in a loop trying to connect.
Really like the adjustable top shelf, plus the glass holders on the top shelf as well is a nice feature.
The handles on the cuterly holder could be better, mine require refitting each time I lift the basket from the machine, a small, but annoying sacrafice for an otherwise good value for money machine.
Easy to install as well, with three adjustable legs, plus the options to screw into the sides or top, I chose the sides and the machine is solid and stable in the 600mm wide opening.
In summary, great machine, good value for money, WiFi is hit and miss at least for me, cuterly basket handles not so good, but after a wash, everything comes out sparkling.
Would highly recommend the optional inline limescale magnet offered by AO and also get a bag of salt if you live in a medium to hard water area as this will undoubtedly keep your machine running efficient for longer.
AO service as good as always, would highly recommend this machine for a medium to large family (3-6 people)
Mine arrived, sadly with a cracked plastic outer which conseals the pump, but a little glue fixed that. Purely cosmetic and unseen once the machine was installed.
