Installation not as straight-forward as usual
3/5
Installation of a washing machine is usually quite a simple process, but not with this machine. It comes with a corrugated plastic sheet that it tells you to add into the bottom compartment as otherwise there is a rectangular hole in the bottom of your machine. This plastic sheet is generic for 3 different machine configurations and so you have to try and match the holes in the sheet to the holes in the bottom of the machine, all while tilting a very heavy washing machine. It's an accident waiting to happen.
My second issue was the waste hose pipe. Every machine I've bought has always had the waste pipe on the right of the machine, but this has it on the left and the hose pipe is not very generous in length which will probably mean I'm going to have to extend it.
Can't comment on the washing element as I only received it today, but I thought the installation issues warranted a comment.
