Love this machine. Fitted no problem straight into the space my old 7 kilo machine came out of and looks nice. I'm a techna phobe but so easy to use, had it worked out in minutes without any hassle. Big drum size is brilliant as I have 2 smelly hounds so being able to throw all their bedding etc. in regularly now is great - no more embarrasing and apologetic trips to the launderette as they can be done by me whenever I want. It will even take my huge long curtains easily. Also has a super quick cycle if you need just a few things doing in about 15 minutes in case you need your favourite jeans/tops asap. I also like the near top door opening lever, saves bending right down if you have a back problem like me. It's nice and quiet too. Just hope it lasts well but can't review that for obvious reasons.
