Hotpoint-Ariston A1400WD

Excellent value for money, good sized drum, good choice of wash / dry options

Fairly lengthy wash cycles and a little noisy.

It really noisey and casuses a lot of vibrations when it spins

Very customisable programs

Dryer takes a long time

The quick cycle wash, enviromentally friendly

No handwash cycle

It's very quiet, it has pretty good functionality and is quite pleasant to the eye.

Some of the cycle times are 2hrs + - so it would nice to reduce them - but this is not a huge issue to be honest. Would be better if there were more options for drying times - they are rather limited.

it creases the clothes too bad that it takes forever to iron

quietish when in use, led lights tell you when cycle is complete

poor drying, unable to stop when drying in progress

Easy to use and environmentally friendly

Very Very Noisy!!! Some of the cycles take an awfully long time.
