I use to have a separate washing machine and tumble dryer but was having issues with the tumble dryer so decided to look into getting a washer-dryer as thought it would save some space and has duel function.
It has been many years since I last used a washer and dryer so it has taken some getting used to this 7000 Prosteam 9Kg washer dryer.
There are several programmes available on this washing machine and I would recommend looking at the instructions first to find out what they do.
I did do a couple of washes on the ‘machine clean’ programme and wondered why it kept stopping after 10 minutes and after reading the manual it was because this programme is just for washing the machine, not clothing!!
I was surprised by how long some programmes go on for and the time has put me off using some programmes as I do wonder how economical these programmes actually are.
I have been using the eco mode recently as I find the programme is not as long as some other ones and it can be used for a daily wash so feel safer using this program.
The manual does suggest when using the dryer function to remove the washing first and then put it back in piece by piece, initially, I did think this was very time-consuming but can understand this is needed if you have certain fabrics in the wash program that you don’t want to go through the dryer. I did have a red jumper go through the dryer programme and there was lots of red fluff I had to clear out of the door rim afterwards so do recommend checking before drying.
The washing machine is a lot quieter than my previous machine and sometimes I forget it's on so ideal for washing loads overnight as it does not disturb.
I am still getting used to this machine and feel once I do get used to the different programmes then it will be a fabulous machine but I have had several teething problems getting used to it.
Having said that all washing that has come out has been clean and fresh and I do like the different programmes available, although feel I will tend to use the same programme for most washes!
The dosing tray is the same as my other machine so this is easy to use and the drum is nice and big so I can fit a decent-sized load in.
The dryer does not need to be connected to an external source so it’s great if this is not available and good for space saving.
Overall I am generally happy with the machine but it had taken me some time to get use to it as it has so many different programmes and functions.
