Obviously it's really annoying to have to shell out on a new washing machine, but the day comes to us all. This one has a good, big drum, perfect for generously sized loads and looks like it will even fit a duvet. Love the 28 minute wash cycle, lots of alternative cycles available and most of them customisable in terms of temperature, spin rpm, and speed of wash. Only had it a couple of weeks so far, which seems a little early for a review, but that's the way the world works now. Would give 5 stars but I find it a bit uglier than I expected (the black selector knob in middle of the white front seems jarring). However, this is me being picky because nobody expects a washing machine to be a thing of beauty. Ask me again in 10 years time and if it's still going strong I shall be happy.
