"We searched around for a slimline machine which would fit into our wash room (with its small door frame). This machine matched all our criteria.
This is no louder, in fact seems quieter that our last machine. On top spin it can be pretty loud, but I used to have to spin mine twice anyway, so I put it on 700 and respin, and after 2 the clothes are well spun.
All controls are great, and great range of options. Toploader is brilliant, I have a bad back and used to hate emptying out my old machine, I would quite happily stick with toploading machines from now on. Also, the loader for powder etc is great, and v. easy to remove and clean, much easier than drawers in past machines.
Not had any problems with it yet (had it 3 weeks), it washes the clothes well, and I can fit a good load in easily.
Very happy!"
