Well worth the gamble
4/5
I was apprehensive about buying a Hisense machine from AO. Until now, I have to confess, this brand was unknown to us. But to be honest I wanted a 12kg machine with 1400 spin speed, and this was nearly half the price, with a 2yr warranty it seemed like a no brainer. The machine was easy to set up, but for us, the drain hose was a couple of inches shorter than our old machine. But I guess where money can be shaved off, everyone is cutting back. It’s not a deal breaker.
The machine has a number of settings, one of my favs is the 2kg 15min wash, fabulous for freshening up clothes. The only niggle for me was the next wash was a 50min wash at 800 spin speed. All settings give you option to amend spin speed and temperatures, so of course you can tweak as you go. At a push you can spin a load if you want them a little drier - and of course use your tumble drier less.
Lovely looking machine, very quiet in comparison to my older machine. The 12kg drum is an absolute game changer. I used to do 9-10 loads a week, now I only do 5-6!! Happy happy days!!!
