Capacity, noise, energy efficiency, cost

detergent drawer does not flush properly

very quiet. Big drum. the stain cycle is great.

very quiet wash effective spin

soap dispenser door flimsy

Good washes

Bit noisy

Can delay when the wash starts Can adjust the temperature Door easy to close Liquid detergent measuring device

No half wash No pre-wash Makes bleeping noises when finished, which can't be switched off? Quite noisy when using the intensive wash cycle

You can change the temperature of cycles.

Does not have a small load feature
