"Very, very quiet machine, love the 'tinkle' sound to let you know it's finished, as it's so quiet you wouldn't know without this. Holds lots of washing, only complaint would be to select a higher spin speed when doing a quick 30 min wash, you can change the temp. but not the spin speed. Other than that, appears to be a brilliant machine, time will tell though, I use my washing machine at least once per day!"
