Never dissappoint – First front loader ever bought and never disappointed. Delivered on both energy saving and water saving and so quiet I often forgot I got washing on! (Until the final spin cycle starts or when it beeps at the end).

I'm not sure why other reviewers had so much problems, but it's been two years and it's still working happily. The cotton spin cycle can be quite hard on the fabric, so have kept most washing in 'Delicates' setting. Cotton setting (longest setting) can get around 2-3 hours, so delay setting is very convenient to set up washing to finish as I wake up or arrive home. Energy efficient, reliable, delay setting Spin cycle can be too hard on cottons
