Quick, quiet and easy to use
5/5
I've only had this machine for a week, but so far I'm really impressed with it. We all know that no matter how many dials and buttons and options a machine has, we pretty much use one programme. On this machine it's the mixed load which automatically sets itself to 40C and 1400 rpm spin. If you want to alter either of these, it's a just a couple of clicks on a button.
Although this machine is apparently the same size as my old one, the drum seems bigger, so a load of towels comes out a bit fluffier as they have more tumble drying space.
The other big difference between this machine and my old one is how quiet it is. Although mine is in a utility room, I'm sure that if you had an open-plan space you could run it and still live in the room.
At some point I'll read the instruction book but it's so intuitive that it really isn't an essential.
