This is the first time ive ever used a washer dryer as ny ex always dod the laundry, and i know live on my home which i converted into a smart home so i went for this mode because its wifi and i can use the candy app, took minutes to set up and is cery easy step by step and then you go through all the different cycles and just pick the one thats right for your wash and thats it away you go and you can always check through the app to see how long left, the app has a lot more information than the machine which makes it easy to use, i am 52 and that was my first wash and because i love tech i enjoyed doing it, and i do not have to be in the house to srt it off, i can be anywhere i want here or abroad and still be the boss, i highly recommend this model you will not be disappointed
