After always owning preowned washing machines, and ours finally packing in, I decided to get a brand new one. This one is well priced and easy to use. Didn't even need to use the manual to find out about programmes. Features bluetooth for phone connectivity, you can programme it, pause it and check it's status from your phone in a different room. Wash and dry without having to do anything in between. Automatically detects the weight of the load, so will vary the time for each load, but it features a countdown timer too, so you'll know exactly when it's done. A great bit of kit
