Pros: Large drum size, fast spin speed.

Cons: once the machine is on you can't add extra fabric softner.

Review: I've had this machine for 3 weeks now and I absolutly love it, I've gone from doing about 5/6 washes a week to 2/3, I'm definitly saving water and electricity. The 30 minute quick wash is great if you just want to freshen up clothes that have only been worn once, the bed and bath program is fantastic I can wash a whole weeks towels and bedding in one wash and with the 1600 spin they don't take long to dry. Some of the programs do seem to take a long time but when you weigh that up against the fact they you can put 2/3 times the amount of washing in than you would in a normal machine it balances out.It is slightly more expensive than other machines although there are some good deals out there if you shop around but I think it takes so much hassle out of washing that it is worth it.
