Brilliant machine, love the option to do short wash if the load just needs a freshen up. The spin speed selection is great and on 1400 the washing comes out much drier than my old machine. I was not used to a fancy control panel but do find this one very easy to use and love the fact that it counts down the wash time. Supersize drum and a big door makes it easy to fit a large load in and wash less often meaning more economical. Its not noisy either so works great for me.
