Very quiet. Easy to use. Drying times are quick as it auto adjusts. Very happy

Good product. We've only used it for a month now, so can't tell what will be in the future, but now it is working ok.

This was bought to replace an AEG 16850, which had stood up pretty well to intensive family use for 8 years (apart from a broken bearing at 4 years which fortunately was covered by the free 5 year warranty promotion).Pros: adaptation of the programme based on load weight seems to work well.Quiet - doesn''t bounce around when spinning.Not excessive spin speed (previous one had 1600 which is probably what knackered the bearing).The auto drying function works well.Cons : Although the programmes are all very clever, they are missing:* A simple way to select "spin only"* A simple way to select dry only, with the ability to manually select a drying temperature and duration.Steam refresh is a bit of a gimmick I think - time will tell.I''m really not sure about the touch sensitive buttons - I''d prefer mechanical ones with positive feedback, like the Power button is.2 year warranty seems stingy for a supposedly better than average brand, but that''s the way of the world these days.Overall I''m pleased, but could do with some work on simplifying the user experience.

Lots of different programmes and options to tailor the wash/dry to your needs. Relatively quiet too. Worth the extra spend.
