Rated: A+, A, A; 1400 variable spin; 8kg max load; variable temperatures; cold fill. Digital display.
30o or cold cotton wash options.
Woolmark approved wool cycle

Good points: Low water consumption and lowest average energy use of all the models tested. Fairly short wash times.
Drawbacks: A few gimmicky programmes. The maximum 8kg load didn't quite fit in the drum. Plays a tune when first turned on and when the wash finishes, some people may find this annoying.
