Generally speaking I am very happy with my new machine it is quiet and large so I can wash anything in it from tiny delicates to big blankets. It does not have a favourites setting which I miss and the centre piece that comes out to enable the adding of powder often falls apart when I put it back, which is annoying. Also if I want to just spin something it has to go through a whole cycle, my last machine allowed me to choose just a spin which was very handy. Love the timer as well, so I know how long Ive got to go until cycle is finished.
