So far so good with this new machine. Lots of programmes and easy to use. As others have said, all the programmes are quite long but if you press the express button it reduces the time considerably and we frequently do this with lightly soiled washing. No difference in the standard of wash from my previous Siemens machine. I just hope it lasts as long but the build quality seems reasonable. Overall very happy, especially as our old one packed in two days before we were due to go on holidays and this replacement was so quick!
