The good points:
The dark silver colour looks really smart. The drum and door opening is huge. It takes loads of washing. It is quiet.
It took some time to set the app up on my iPhone and connect the machine to Wifi. The timer set up option is quite good but could be better. There is a choice of ‘Finish in’ and ‘Finish at’ but it only give the choice of full hours. A 1/2 hour choice would be great. Saying that, it can be set up to 24 hours in advance.
Using the app gives lots of extra programmes, it will take me some time to to try some of them:
6 for sports
5 for home which includes duvets, towels, pet hair
7 for special garments and fabrics, including baby, denim, 1 item fast, business shirts
I have tried the special towel wash program and also used the drying program afterwards. All came out brilliant. The towels were dry but there was lots of fluff around the rubber rim which needed to be wiped. On checking the instructions I used the ‘clean’ program and it done the job well, ready for the next wash.
I have now used the delicate program several times and was amazed how much clothes I could get in the drum. Afterwards I picked out the garments which should not be tumble dried and tumble dried the rest. It came out perfectly dry and uncreased, fresh smelling ready to go into the cupboard.
I also tried washing with the free pod which came with the machine but felt that the washing did not smell as fresh as when I used my regular washing powder and softener.
I was sceptical about the steam option but thought I give it a try. I used it for a large scarf which was stored in the cupboard since last year and surprisingly it smelled really fresh and came out uncreased afterwards.
The bad points:
In my view the Universaldose could be better explained in the user manual. I use mainly washing powder and did not realise that I had to take the container for the liquid out. Therefore on the second wash some of the powder was left behind. Again when using liquid it is not clear if it should be put in the right part of the removable container or over the holes.
It was also quite difficult to set up the wifi. Eventually it worked, but it is volatile. I still have not worked out if I can press start it from my mobile or if it is only for selecting the programmes. At the moment I find it quicker to just use the manual buttons. Hopefully I will learn!
Overall I am very pleased with my new 10kg/6kg load washer dryer, it performs really well, takes a huge load of washing (there are 4 adults in my household) and therefore I probably only will have to use it every 2 days instead of washing 1 or 2 loads a day. Such an improvement over my old washer/dryer.
